Ben Greenfield's family gathers at 7 AM to share how they slept, how they feel, and what's coming that day. His wife mentions tennis and feeding the goat, his sons talk jiu-jitsu and their card-game startup. He calls it bookending the day to stay connected when everyone's busy.
Helps you all just meet together as a family, even if you're like ships passing in the night the rest of the day. But basically, for that 7:00 AM meeting, we all gather. We sit down on, again, living room floor, backyard patio, you name it. And the very first thing I do is I check in on everybody. Hey, how you doing? How'd you sleep? How are you feeling? How are you feeling about the day? What are you excited about today? What's happening today? You know, and then people begin to share. Hey, I've got, you know, my wife will say, hey, I have tennis practice at 11 and, you know, I'm going to go pick up alfalfa for the goat. Home around 2. And my sons, you know, say, hey, Dad, we have, you know, jiu-jitsu at 11 today. We have tennis at 2 and we have a big meeting for our, you know, our card game company for whatever.
