## Resource

Recorded straight from the front porch of the farm, Alan reflects on the relief—and the sudden realization—that comes after hosting a massive high school graduation party for his son, Sean. Surrounded by the ambient sounds of wind chimes and ducks, Alan explores the "Arrival Fallacy" (or Destination Fallacy): the psychological trap of using a major calendar milestone as an excuse to put the rest of your life on hold. From neglected summer bike rides to delayed office tasks, Alan unpacks why we tend to pause our daily routines for big events and challenges listeners to stop waiting for the calendar to clear before living their lives. Plus, a quick reminder on how to grab a password for the Very Dental Facebook group.
