In my last blog post I challenged you (and myself) to declutter our physical space by keeping only the things that are useful or make us feel good and getting rid of the rest. This month I’m applying that idea to our time. For August our #indulgeU2016 goal is to declutter our schedule.
- Was the activity useful?
- Did I enjoy the time I spent doing that activity?
- What did I say “no” to in order to take part in that activity?
- Am I ok with the trade-off in the long run?
Reviewing your day before bed can help identify the choices and trade-offs you have been making unconsciously, but the true benefit comes from running through these questions before committing to an activity or a course of action. Ask yourself:
- If I say "yes" to this, what will I be saying "no" to?
- Is it worth it?
