"We spend so much time scheduling our work and our commitments, and not enough on the good stuff."We’re back for 2026. To kick off the year, Forest Robinson and I headed down to Elsternwick for the Carman’s 10k. It wasn't about the PB or the pace—it was about pinning on a bib, feeling the local energy, and practicing the two themes that are grounding us this year: Patience and Acceptance.In this episode, we dive into the "Calendar of Life." Why do we treat our professional meetings as non-negotiable but leave our joy to chance? We explore how to reclaim your schedule for the things that actually nourish your nervous system, and why "doing less" with more intention is the ultimate performance hack for the long game.In this conversation, we explore:<ul><li>The Carman’s 10k Recap: The "cold start" feeling of the first race of the year.</li><li>The Architecture of Joy: Why we struggle to schedule the "good stuff" and how to stop treating hobbies as "if I have time" tasks.</li><li>Patience vs. Waiting: Learning to sit with the slow build of a new season without the rush for instant results.</li><li>Radical Acceptance: How letting go of "should be" allows you to actually be present in the mile you’re in.</li><li>The Nervous System Audit: How protecting your joy prevents the burnout we often see by mid-year.</li></ul>Connect with Human Being School:<ul><li>Instagram: @humanbeingschool</li></ul>If this episode resonated with you, please consider leaving a review or sharing it with someone who needs a reminder to put some joy on their calendar this week.
