Hey everyone,
I don’t know about you but the time has come for me to rewrite my list!
Earlier in the month me didn’t know what I know about how the month has unfolded so far and I need to make some adjustments to her plans.
Past me was much better at making lists than she once was.
Before medication and practice and developing more reasonable expectations, she would have planned to show up in superhero mode every day in December and by now she would have been exhausted.
This year’s planning was pretty reasonable but it obviously couldn’t fully account for bad weather, a few off days, and a little extra work that came my way so I had to adjust things on the fly.
Now, at a little over halfway through the month, I want to take a few minutes to adapt my list to my current reality so I can match my time, my priorities, and my expectations.
And I would like to invite you to do the same.
The key element here is to avoid judging ourselves for a) the size of our initial lists b) not getting everything done c) changing our plans.
Making a new list is not a sign of failure, it is a recalibration based on new information.
And while you are recalibration, please remember to include fun and rest on your to do list.
You don’t have to fill every waking moment with tasks – even if they are things you want to do.
And if anyone argues with you on that, send them to me – I’ll deal with ’em.
Anyway, Team, I am wishing you ease as you make space for yourselves today.
Go Team Us!
