Hi friends,

 

As we prepare for new routines in the holy month of Ramadan, I invite you to do your future self—your April self—a favor:

 

💡 Take a picture (or notes) of what’s working well in your daily life right now.

 

Ask yourself:
✔️ What habits are working well now?
✔️ What do you usually have for breakfast, and when?
✔️ What are your morning and evening routines like?
✔️ What food do you pack in your lunchbox?
✔️ When do you exercise?
✔️ When do you read?
✔️ When do you sleep and wake up?

 

 

Because by Eid, you’ll likely forget these rhythms, and weeks will pass before you find your groove again and get back on the horse toward the goals you care so much about right now. Having a snapshot of your current habits will make it much easier to return to the routines that serve you best—without the struggle of figuring them out all over again.

 

📌 Action step: Keep these notes in your phone’s Notes app and set a reminder to revisit them during Eid.

 

✨ Extra tip: Enjoy this sacred season and build habits that align with your spiritual and family goals. Then, at the end of Ramadan, take note of what worked so you can make next year even better.

For example: If praying Taraweeh at the mosque brings you peace, make a note to prioritize it next year. This small habit of reflection can help you design a Ramadan that feels truly fulfilling, year after year.

 

Wishing you a blessed Ramadan! 🌙

 

Snapshot from my week: I am going to be Amto for the first time for a baby BOY in June 2025, God willing!

Here is your weekly dose of The Sunday Spark ⚡️ a newsletter listing 3 sparks that I thought were worth starting your week with:

 

1. ✂️ Have you ever created a Zine before (pronounced Zeen)? Here is an enjoyable and informative chance: Read Like An Artist from the author of Steal Like An Artist. Austin's tips influenced my podcast episode about reading. (Listen on YouTube here).

 

2.  🎙️ This podcast episode with Austin Kleon reminded me that he inspired my two desks idea at home, which I implemented in 2019: a digital desk where I keep my PC and an analog desk where I journal and write. When you listen, you will understand why I got all three of his books, one of which was a signed one. He influenced shipping my 1-minute videos into the world.

 

 

3. 💬 This quote inspired me to share my interests with you years ago, and...here we are!

“Share what you love, and the people who love the same things will find you.”

― Austin Kleon

 

 

 

 

See you next Sunday @First name / my dear friend
