Calendar Planning 101

If you’re a busy person at some point you’ve probably felt the need to negotiate your own schedule. Making yourself a top priority isn’t as narcissistic as it seems. Yet, so many people are still struggling to maintain balanced schedules. There are going to be some disappointments along the way. But the truth is, getting comfortable with telling people “NO” will create more openings for you to discover the potential power of commanding your routine.

Set concrete boundaries. This may come off arrogant, rude or dismissive to those in need of your undivided attention. However, don’t back down. After all, the key is to become more productive. When you’re able to organize your key priorities your days, weeks, and months will become more enjoyable. In the meantime, focus on making the people around you feel seen, heard, and valued. Stay connected to the crew that fuels you. Just be sure you check your calendar before committing to any extra unplanned activities.
