It’s time for the next installment of  “Happier with Gretchen Rubin.”

In Episode 76, we talked about manifestos, and if you’re coming to the Seattle event, we’d love to highlight a few manifestos from listeners. So send us your manifesto for work, life, parenting, marriage, exercise, clutter-clearing — whatever! And maybe we’ll talk about it with you on stage.

Happiness Hack

Doug suggests using the reminders app in your smart-phone to remind yourself to any tasks you need to complete.

Listener Question

Elizabeth’s Demerit

She and Adam neglected to get their son Jack back into an earlier sleep schedule before school started.
