Intentional time

Make time to focus on what carries substance and meaning. Carve out significant periods that you can spend doing what matters, what’s fulfilling, and making progress.

Quality, focused time is not likely to simply appear on its own. You must be intentional to compete with the endless notifications, deadlines, obligations and complexities the world sends your way.

Block out hours, perhaps even days or weeks, when you exercise your prerogative to say no and to say yes. Say no to all the urgent but unimportant issues, and say yes to the meaningful things that benefit your life and your world.

Carefully and honestly consider your priorities, your assumptions, your goals, your dreams, and your values. Work to get them all in alignment.

Then seek to allocate your time based more on who you truly are than on what you’ve always assumed you should be doing. Give yourself plenty of opportunity to focus on and achieve what matters most.

Designate and spend generous amounts of time as intentional time. And enable yourself to live the life you choose to live.
