I’m doing this from a very different perspective than most personal development courses do offer on the topic.

Most courses I’ve attended have you do an « ideal day » exercise where you describe on paper a perfect life from waking up to going to bed :
at what time you wake up, where you are, what the house looks like, who you’re with, what you say, etc etc.

It’s an interesting thought experiment but it’s more of a « Law of Attraction »/passive life design exercise.

My theory is that a « perfect day » is not made from a « perfect scenario » played out from sunrise to sunset – but rather from a series of (mostly short, mostly mundane) rituals that, if performed over weeks, months, or years, produce a fantastic quality of life.

I also believe that most of those rituals/habits can be performed at any point in the day – not in a fixed scenario, which allows for a very flexible Perfect Day, as long as there’s a little bit of planning around obstacles, like flying, attending conferences, etc.

(e.g. « If i could dance 6 minutes (two songs) every single day of my life, I can’t imagine how much joy and happiness that would add to my quality of life. »)
