Employees of, or contractors for, Tomkins & Tomkins Limited, its group companies or their family members, or anyone else connected with the Giveaway may not enter the Giveaway. On the other hand, not talking about it can cause massive anxiety in our family members who may be called upon to speak for us in the future if we’re no longer able to make decisions for ourselves. And then, if we develop a condition like dementia, we may live for several years depending on others to make decisions for us. No, not currently, but do let us know at [email protected] if you do think future versions should be available in different colours. There are a lot of amazing micro habits that we haven’t included in the book because, like taking something unnecessary of your to-do list, sometimes it’s good to keep tasks limited to make them do-able. Also, the micro habits we have chosen should not cost any money or time, or very little of both. That’s why e.g. meditation is not on the list, as in our view, it takes a lot of time!

The My Future Care Handbook is an easy-to-read jargon-free source of information that helps us deal with those tasks we might otherwise keep putting off. As our strapline says, plan for tomorrow, live for today! We are aware that being productive is a human need and makes us feel good. Feel free to include your productivity habits in the free space. Handbook for Today focusses on well-being and resilience, which are two important assets to help achieve your goals (career and otherwise). However, for us, a journal focussed mainly on productivity is a different book entirely (actually watch this space, we have one under development…).It can be fun! Sally and Nancy went through the Handbook together: “We had a very funny evening last night doing it together with our very different styles of approaching things. We went from being a bit grumpy with each other to laughing a lot!” Only one entry per person. Entries on behalf of another person will not be accepted and joint submissions are not allowed. The closing date for entries for the Giveaway is 6PM on 30th of September 2023 (GMT/London).Entries received outside this time period will not be considered. There are relevant and useful ideas for everyone to put in place now – as well as help with planning for your later years, that you can do at your own pace and when you are ready. The Handbook for Today wellbeing journal is as beautiful on the outside as it will make you feel inside!

If you are already seeing a mental health professional, please ask them about using Handbook for Today to make sure it serves your best interests. The My Future Care Handbook is designed to encourage you to think about and make decisions around your future care and end-of-life, much earlier than tends to be the case. It can be challenging to think about these things when what we all really want to do is concentrate on living the best life we can, right now. Our 24 positive habits are spread across three days and this pattern repeats through the book. We think that 8 of these micro habits are enough to try to achieve each day, giving you a good challenge without adding to your stresses. And as habits need a lot of repetition to become second nature, we kept it simple for this journal. Those 24 habits are a variety of positive habits that should ultimately make us feel happier. They reflect our “four pillar” approach to wellbeing. Some are for our physical health (e.g. “done some exercise”), some for our inner self (e.g. structure giving habits like “made my bed”), others are reminders to connect with others (“given a hug”), or with the world around us (“connected with nature”). But please feel free to add personal habits that are important to you as an individual. You know yourself best. If you want to go to bed earlier, get up sooner, meditate, cut out sugar, take your vitamin supplements, create your own habit and write this down under your daily list. To make the conversation easier, the Handbook is as much about living well as it is about having a good end-of-life.Tomkins &Tomkins Limited shall not be liable for any failure to comply with its obligations where the failure is caused by something outside its reasonable control.
