In this Taking Back Monday episode, we’re launching a new series—TBM Shorts! To kick things off, we’re diving into an article I wrote for the Taking Back Monday newsletter about "Reverse Planning." It’s all about flipping the script on how we think about productivity. Instead of focusing on what’s next, reverse planning encourages us to look back and celebrate the small wins we've already accomplished.

We’ll explore the psychology behind why this simple mindset shift can increase happiness, boost motivation, and combat negativity bias. Think of it as "gratitude in action"—a powerful tool for both personal growth and daily life.

No fancy planners needed—we’ll share practical tips on how you can start reverse planning today, whether it’s for your personal life, relationships, or creative projects. Tune in and learn how to take back Monday by focusing on the progress you’re already making.

As always, we’d love to hear how you’re applying these ideas in your life. Keep celebrating those small wins!

It's time to say "goodbye" to the Sunday Scaries.
