Things We Forget

Ask an older person about their life. Listen. Write their story down. Learn what you can, and make choices that implement that learning in the future..

Instead of gifts, like at Yule, people exchange handwritten notes with their loved ones saying what they appreciate about each other and why.

Formal clothes are banned. Productivity in pajamas becomes the new business casual.

All work happens outside—meetings under trees, lunches in the park. Vitamin D for everyone!

Everyone must give five genuine compliments before 5pm. Bonus points if you compliment a stranger.

A day of reflection. No small talk, no notifications. Just quiet.

Every person must do one thing they’ve never done before. Growth is a goal, failure is a badge of honor.

Do one random act of kindness, then challenge three others to do the same.

No screens, no scrolling—just human connection. Board games, laughter, and awkward real-life conversations are mandatory.

A day when everyone stops working at 2 PM for a collective nap. Productivity would skyrocket afterward, and grumpiness would plummet.
