Since I've been daily planning the day before, I've been extra aware of how I am spending my time - and my life.
I'm not spending enough time having fun.
Oh, I have some weekends with the girls or date nights, sure. (To be fair, date nights have been a little sparse lately.)
But day-to-day, I'm not hanging out with friends, walking in the park with my husband, playing games with my kids, or even reading a great novel. I haven't been writing my novel (a life goal) or riding a bike. Bowling? Disc golf? Skating? Nope.
All this time planning is about achieving my goals (like a paycheck), but it's about more than that.
It's about saving time so that I can be happy. And I haven't worked enough on happy lately. So, tomorrow, I haven't planned anything after work. Instead, I will use that time to have fun.
Etcetera.
Giftie, you raised a very valid point. FUN. Where is it? Your post made me stop and look to my left, where my trusty A5 Malden always sits open. Yes I saw stickers and lovely washi but when I looked closer - nothing but tasks and chores where listed. The closest thing to fun is my gym time. I can't imagine blocking out time in my planner for scrapbooking or gaming. I might try it, see how it goes.
ReplyDeleteI'm like that, too - all work and not enough play. But now that I have grandkids, they make me play! It's actually kind of nice.
