One of many gadgets on my summer time bucket checklist this yr was to deliberately plan how I spend my days, as a method to have a greater relationship with the passing of time. We’re so busy with our children, household, pals, and work that it’s straightforward to overlook moments as they’re taking place. There have been durations of my life the place I’ve discovered myself wanting again, unable to recollect the place the time went. It’s so disconcerting to have days, weeks, and months go by in a flash.
To start to fix this relationship with the passing of time, I’ve turn out to be rather more intentional about planning issues forward of time, based mostly on my values. By planning my time round what really issues to me most, I’ve discovered myself extra thoughtfully experiencing life relatively than merely letting issues occur to me.
This August on Wit & Delight, our theme is about planting seeds.
It’s about planning and organizing our lives round values we need to foster, objectives we need to meet, and experiences we need to prioritize.
August is a time to organize for the approaching recent begin of the autumn season. It’s a time to revisit any objectives we could have made for ourselves earlier within the yr and suppose by means of how we are able to carry them to (or nearer to) fruition. It’s a time to think about what we would like the remainder of the yr to carry.
I’m already on this mindset of planning and group, which is much from my pure inclination. I’ve my children’ college calendars written down and we’re already speaking about our plans for the vacations. I’m additionally aiming to make progress on among the greater W&D tasks I’ve had within the works.
