As is often the case,I am finding that this upcoming week will have some challenges when it comes to "ME" management.
Most people refer to "ME" management as time management. I find that preposterous.
Time is a constant.
60 minutes in an hour.
24 hours in a day.
7 days in a week.
It's just that simple.
It never changes.
Managing myself and how I use that time is where I hope to find opportunities.
Looking ahead to the week ahead,I can already see that my calendar is going to be pretty full.
It's a gorgeous Autumn day here in northern New Jersey.
In the 3 hours between my bus runs today, Max and I have some yard work that we have been putting off since early October.
This will take up the majority of any free time for Sunday.
Between my morning and afternoon runs on Monday, I have a can't miss podiatrist appointment.
On Wednesday,that free time will be used to get my haircut in preparation for my Thursday meeting with the Adult Community School here in town.
Friday is normally my free day.
This Friday, Sara has asked me to go with her to visit her grandparents.
My other free day is Saturday,however this week Becca is going away for the weekend. After driving her to the airport at 6 a.m. I will head back to the shop, where I will take her place as bather-manager.
Basically, there is no such thing as free time for me time this week.
Knowing this as I enter the new week is really helpful.
Trying to jam anything else onto my calendar would be counter productive ,a true set up for frustration and ultimately failure.
This week,I will just accept the fact that there may not be as many opportunities to add a whole lot more to my agenda.
Seems like a plan I can work with!
