It’s nearing the start of a new year and for many, this means populating a new calendar. It’s easy to slot in the meetings, appointments, and events where your presence is required. The real magic comes in allocating time now — while there is still some available — to work on your priorities.
I just scheduled time with a client and once we got past January, her calendar was wide open. How easy it would be now to schedule time for vacation, reflection, working on that project she’s put off, or any number of important but not urgent tasks.
Writing coach Cat Margulis encourages people to align their calendars with their priorities. “Want to write a book?” she asks. “Block out two hours each day.”
Your time is your most important resource. Take charge of it now, while you can, and make 2024 reflect what is important to you.
