This is good stuff Sam, love the idea of transition zones and having a routines at the beginning and end of activities. Been thinking a lot recently on the importance of having traditions in different seasons of life, which is sort of a celebratory transition zone in its own right. Will be thinking about this one for awhile!
Such a pleasure reading this, Sam, and so helpful! I'm going through a macro life transition, but reading your piece made me realise how many micro-transitions I make throughout the day and how I might improve them. For example, I've noticed I've unconsciously adopted transition routines for exercise and yoga. Aiming to do better with other parts of the day, like sleep-wake routines.
Thanks Ritvik! one thing that i've noticed for myself is how the macro life transitions seem to open up space for embracing the daily transitions in new ways. and then the small shifts feed back into the broader change. would be interested to hear how it goes with embracing micro transitions

Great to see you writing here again Sam!
Thanks Jordan! appreciate it. would love to hear your thoughts on traditions and seasons if you end up writing about them.
