Aeolus’s Bag of Winds – Schedule Sabotage
Challenge: Relatives, late visitors, or “just one nap in the car” disrupt fragile rhythms.
Ulysses Move: Post clear, loving house rules and protect boundaries.
Introduction
Aeolus gives Odysseus a bag containing every wind except the one that leads home. The crew, curious and impatient, opens it… and chaos resets the journey.
Parents know this: you’re close to progress, and someone says, “Let’s try something new,” and poof—the winds scatter everything.
The Core Lesson
Premature changes undo steady progress.
Parenthood Parallel
Stick with what’s working. Don’t adjust wake windows or feeding rhythm every day.
Protect the environment. The “bag of winds” is often advice from well-meaning relatives.
Consistency beats curiosity.
Ulisses Method Insight
Hold your course for 48–72 hours before introducing a tweak. Empowerment comes from patience, not panic.
Don’t open the bag. Let the right wind lead.
