They talk about that, you know, where it's like, there's like that two-week gap where you have to get over of your kids complaining about it.

And then it's just like, if it's a no, it's a no. What's up, guys? Welcome to another five-minute fatherhood. So one of the things that we always want to be really careful of is that when you're designing rhythms, whether they're daily rhythms, weekly rhythms. Oftentimes what people, one of the

mistakes we tend to make is we just schedule the hard stuff, the stuff that has to get done,

the stuff that makes us more productive. And man, that's not what we're about with the seven-day rhythms.

We want to create our ideal week. And so that means we're balancing things like purpose and play.

We're having a lot of fun as a family in ways that really is life giving for the whole family

as well as getting a lot of stuff done. And so, you know, for us, that's looked lots of different

things in different seasons, different outdoor activities that we're really into. Like last year, we were really into pickleball. We're excited. The weather's just getting nice enough that we're going to start getting back into that again. We do on, you know, our reading night, on Monday night, our media night on Wednesday night, our Shabbat time where we have nice desserts. I mean, just it's really important to have fun stuff that your family enjoys doing, things that you guys as a family really bond around. And it's just is critical to schedule that stuff in as it is any of the productive stuff. This is much more of a like, you know, work hard, play hard or work intentionally, play intentionally. Play should be have a level of intentionality around it. And so

make your, make it so that you love your week and each of your kids loves your week. If you're

able to live that ideal week, you can just sense that as you're getting closer and closer to

actually living into that seven day rhythm, that your family is just getting is thriving more, enjoying it more.

But Jeff, how do you guys think about how to balance or make sure you're integrating fun

into a really purposeful family rhythm?

Yeah, I love this one.

And I think especially with toddlers, like this is the goal.

There's too much research.

There's too much data on just like play is actually how you learn. Like it's actually how your brain forms. It's how curiosity. Like, especially at those younger stages, just like play. Like I was just cracking up. We're super big on like, I mean, we watch shows and screens and all that. But like we try super hard to not. And it's fun once you do get over that hump of just like the kids just like don't even ask much anymore and they just go outside. Like you, you know, there is that always that. I know a lot of parents, they, uh, they talk about that, you know, where it's like there's like that two week gap where you have to get over of your kids complaining about it. And then it's just like, If it's a no, it's a no. But yes, we've been doing that for years, and the kids loving that, like, even yesterday,

I was cracking up where, like, if it's a no, it's a no. But yeah, so we've been doing that for years and the kids loving that like even yesterday, I was cracking up where like, Dino, Kinsley found a beetle outside and then put that beetle in like her little PJ Mask car. You probably don't know that because you're not, you know, when you're a parent, you're on top of all the shows. But PJ Mask is like a fit. And so she like literally spent like, they spent like an hour, her and Canon just literally trucking this beetle around in their toy car, like in the driveway. That's awesome. That's like so unstructured play too. There's two things I'll say here. There's two tracks. Really cultivate unstructured play with your kids. And if you do have a lifestyle that has been more conducive to screens or inside or whatever,

I just heard a stat yesterday.

It's crazy. cultivate unstructured play with your kids. And if you do have a lifestyle that has been more

conducive to screens or inside or whatever, I just heard a stat yesterday. It's crazy. 93% of our

lives is spent inside in an unnatural fake environment. That's crazy. That's crazy. And so if you do
