Cursus BrevisFree for busy families
Calmer weeknights, one small step at a time.
For moms, dads and anyone running a full house who is tired of starting every morning already behind. One short email every other day, each with a single small step. Nothing takes more than twenty minutes.
- For the home: a landing spot by the door, one family calendar, a 15-minute evening reset.
- For the dinner table: dinner decided once a week, a grocery list that nearly writes itself, cook once and eat twice.
- For your prayer life: five quiet minutes before the house wakes up, and grace at the table.

From Marty
Why I made this
I'm a husband and the father of five, and I've spent most of my working life running my own business. I know what it's like when the schedule lives in your head, dinner is a question at 5 p.m., and prayer is the first thing squeezed out of the day.
None of the answers I found were big. They were small things done every day: a basket by the door, a sticky note of five dinners, five quiet minutes before anyone else is up. That's what these emails are.
Give yourself grace. Some weeks the plan won't survive Tuesday, and that's family life, not failure.
Questions
How often will you email me?
About every other day, fifteen emails in all. Each one is short enough to read standing at the counter.
Is this faith-based?
Yes, gently. Cursus Brevis is rooted in the Catholic faith, and prayer is woven through the series. Christians of every tradition are welcome here.
Will you try to sell me something?
Some emails mention planners and journals from the Cursus Brevis shop that go along with the step. You never have to buy anything, and every step works on its own.
What if I already did the 5-Day Challenge?
You're welcome here too. The challenge is the starting gift, and the emails that follow go further into meals, the evening reset and making room for prayer.
Can I unsubscribe?
Anytime, with one click at the bottom of any email.
