Late afternoon into the evening: Sunday is your soft start—whether you’ve escaped to a new space or carved out calm at home, this is your moment to settle in. Gather your favorite snacks, tools, and any resources you’ll need. Then ease into your experience with our Opening Reflections before moving into the Visualize and Aim sections of the VACAY framework. This is where your clarity begins.

Early start until you've had your fill. Monday is your Conquer day. With your priorities set, it’s time to break your goals into realistic, bite-sized tasks and start making moves—without interruptions, distractions, or meetings. It’s your day to focus deeply and move the needle with intention.

Early morning until before lunch: Finally, make space to Adapt and Yield. Start by adjusting your action plan—what didn’t get done? What needs to be scheduled or shifted? Then take a moment to Yield: acknowledge what you did accomplish, and remember that great ideas and bold action take time to unfold. Progress needs space to breathe before it blooms.

Need more time? Add additional Conquer days. Let your VACAY stretch as far as your schedule—and your inspiration—will allow. Just stay grounded in the spirit of the experience: focus, not frenzy.
