I’m not one to give advice but…
please get a calendar. And use it.
Paper or electronic,
wall size or pocket size – doesn’t matter.
Just please get a calendar. And use it.
I offer this invitation frequently.
And get taken up on it rarely.
Yet, for friends, clients
and colleagues
who get on-board with
pro-actively managing their calendar
it has been life changing.
There’s a good chance
the reason you are
overwhelmed,
stressed out
and exhausted
is because you are at the effect
of everyone else’s schedule.
Own your own time.
Claim it like it’s your bitch.
Make it work for you.
Block out time first for the
people and activities
that matter most to you.
Want to read a book?
Book some time with yourself.
Want to workout?
Exercise your right to flex calendar muscle.
Want to meet a friend?
Get friendly with Outlook.
I am obsessed with calendaring.
Mine’s color-coded around the
things that matter most to me:
Family/Friends.
Coaching.
Workouts.
Room to breathe.
At a glance,
I can see how I’m doing at
dedicating time to the things I love most.
My calendar comforts me.
Keeping me forward-focused and on task
day by day, hour by hour.
