If you do not make room for fun, you will sacrifice it.
Make Room is my field guide to planning fun on purpose: the people who matter most on the calendar first, a rhythm of fun all year long, and memories without a price to pay later.
Starting at $27. 12 page printable PDF guide and workbook.
The problem
All grind and no joy is not success.
Founders are wired to grind. There is always one more task, one more call, one more fire.
Fun gets pushed to after this launch or next quarter, and next quarter never comes. Years later you look back and the memories are thin.
The fix is simple. Put the big rocks on the calendar first, then build a rhythm of fun around them.
What you get
Put fun on the calendar.
12 printable pages. Have your calendar open while you read.
Big rocks first
Your spouse, your kids, then your friends. The dates that never move go in first.
The fun cadence
Annual, semi annual, quarterly and monthly plans so there is always something to look forward to.
Date planning
Keep dating your spouse. Tag team the planning and keep it on the calendar.
Fun without regret
A fun menu of ideas, a simple regret filter and a budget for joy.
How it works
Dates. Rhythm. Dates. Memories.
One week at a time for 30 days.
Big rocks
Every anniversary, birthday and holiday on the calendar as a repeating event.
Spouse
Two dates booked this month. Agree who plans which.
Family
One family fun night and a one on one outing with each child.
The year
One outing with friends and your fun calendar filled in for the next four quarters.
Who it is for
For people who work hard and want memories to show for it.
- Founders and leaders who keep pushing fun to next quarter.
- Married couples who want to keep dating each other.
- Parents who want more happy memories with their kids.
- Anyone whose calendar is full of work and empty of joy.
Not for you if you want a bucket list to read and forget. Every section ends with something to schedule.
A note from Brandon
Memories are the receipts of a well lived year.
I'm a tech founder, a husband of 20 years and a dad of five boys. For years I told myself the fun would come after the next launch. Next quarter never came, and the memories got thin.
Make Room is how I put the people I love on the calendar first. Big rocks before sand, every single year.
