in the course of like the year is that clear that that won, right?

What's up guys? Welcome to the Five Minute Fatherhood. So have you thought about when do you

0:13.3

actually take a step back and make sure all the family stuff that oftentimes during the week

0:18.4

can really go down your priority list. When does it become the first

0:23.0

priority? One of the things that we've been leading into as a family is to sort of really think

0:28.1

about one day a week as more of our family business day. And so we've been leaning into Sunday

0:34.3

as that day for our family. We do worship on Sunday evening,

0:42.9

and so really Sunday morning, Sunday afternoon, that's the time when we do our family meeting,

0:47.4

and it's also a time when if there's anything we need to catch up on, particularly relationally. So like if there's some, there's a hard conversation we need to have or a one-on-one

0:51.7

because there's some disconnected kind of nests going on in the family. If we need to work on a one-on-one because there's some disconnected kind of nests going on

0:54.3

in the family. If we need to work on a project, then this is the day where we just say family wins

1:12.0

that take and so if once a week you know that hey whatever is on the top of the priority list for

1:17.8

the family whatever we need to work through we've got the time we've got the space um that's been

1:23.2

really really healthy and helpful for our family to kind of have that day of the week where

1:28.2

this is the day family and what matters to the family always wins. It doesn't mean that we

1:35.1

shouldn't be doing that throughout the rest of the week, but oftentimes there are projects

1:38.5

that are just longer. They may take an hour, two hours. And so it's not practical to think

1:43.2

that you can just maybe shove that into your typical weekday. And those can accumulate over time and really wear out your family or create a lot of disconnection. So that's one of the things that we've been really working on. But yeah, Jeff, what are you, what are your thoughts on on how to do that? Yeah, I agree. We do like a Sunday night thing that definitely is kind of, and when you say where the family

2:01.0

wins, too, the way we look at that is, you know, that kind of nothing else can impede on it from
