Your calendar already tells the truth about your priorities.
This episode is about using that truth to shape the year ahead—on purpose.

Most men stop at reflection. They do a year-end review, get clear on what mattered, and feel good about the insight. Then nothing changes. In this short follow-up, Tommy breaks down the missing step: deciding the next action and putting it on the calendar so it actually happens.

In this episode:

• Why insight without action quietly keeps you stuck
• The difference between wanting change and planning for it
• How one calendar entry can shift your relationships, business, or health
• Real examples: brothers’ trips, client strategy, training plans, and family time
• Why discomfort is often the signal you’re doing the right thing

Practical takeaways:

• Choose one insight from your year-end review and name the very next action
• Assign that action a specific date and time
• Let your calendar reflect what matters to you—not just what’s demanded of you

Look at your calendar for the year ahead. If it doesn’t show what you say is important, change it. That’s how different years are built.

For high-achieving men, effort is rarely the issue. Most are working hard, carrying responsibility at work and at home, and trying to show up well. The problem is alignment. Without clear planning, even disciplined men end up reacting to their weeks instead of directing them. This episode of The Durable Dad Podcast focuses on calendar-based planning as a practical leadership skill.
