Have you ever reached the end of summer and wished you\u2019d done more to enjoy the season?<\/p>\n

For many of us, summer is marked by longer days, looser schedules, and opportunities for time off from work or school. But taking advantage of that time requires reflection and planning.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to tell ourselves \u201cNext week,\u201d \u201cWe missed it this year, but we\u2019ll plan ahead next year,\u201d or \u201cI can’t think of anything I want to do,” and let the summer months slip away.<\/p>\n

Every year on the <\/span>Happier<\/span><\/i> podcast, Elizabeth and I dedicate an episode to \u201cDesign Your Summer\u201d to help us and listeners make the most of the season. The idea comes from Robertson Davies who says, \u201cAdventures are what make a summer.\u201d What makes a summer for you?<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, when a particular season feels distinctive, time feels more rich, and our experiences are more memorable. If every month is exactly like the month before, time speeds up and blurs\u2014so by doing lots of summery activities, we’ll make that part of the year stand out. (Of course, it\u2019s a good idea to do the same thing for winter!)<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve created a new way to use the \u201cSpin the Wheel\u201d tool in the <\/a><\/span>Happier\"\u2122\"<\/span><\/i><\/a> app<\/a> to help you design your summer and do more of the things that make you happier. For the month of June, every Spin the Wheel challenge will suggest something to add to your summer bucket list, an idea to spark a new tradition, or an activity that will help the season feel distinct.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Whether you want to rest and recharge, travel and have adventures, connect and deepen your relationships, or play and explore your creativity, you’ll find concrete ideas to help you plan ahead or get in-the-moment inspiration. You can spin the wheel and get up to three new ideas per day.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Happier<\/i> app<\/a> is free to download, and you can use the Spin the Wheel tool with or without a subscription.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Want to make progress on your aims over the summer? Here are <\/span>more ways you can use the <\/span>Happier<\/span><\/i> app this season.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section><\/div>\n
