I can't sleep…
| ME |
| Me: Monday. (Big Plans. Big Things. Big Hopes. Get started.) |
| Me: Tuesday. (Meetings. Calls. Emails. Set aside big things.) |
| Me: Wednesday. (More meetings. More Calls. More Emails. Full of…little things.) |
| Me: Thursday. (Where you taking me today pal? Going to play big? Or little?) |
| Me: Friday. (Start planning for Big today.) |
Change your language. Instead of saying "I don’t have time" try saying "it’s not a priority," and see how that feels. Often, that’s a perfectly adequate explanation. I have time to iron my sheets, I just don’t want to. But other things are harder. Try it: "I’m not going to edit your résumé, sweetie, because it’s not a priority." "I don’t go to the doctor because my health is not a priority." If these phrases don’t sit well, that’s the point. Changing our language reminds us that time is a choice. If we don’t like how we’re spending an hour, we can choose differently.
