Time to Tweak Time (????)

So, was reminded today that it’s been a while since I posted a blog entry.  Thanks for the gentle nudge, Kimberly!

Yes, things have had me a little scattered lately.  Indeed, I’ve had a few wake-up calls to the fact that I’m definitely being pulled in several directions, and that my focus is hardly 100% here-and-now.  No worries — and it’s a good lesson in awareness for me.

One of the things we do in our household, before we each depart for whatever it is that the day holds for us, is set a goal/intention.  How do we want our day to be?  What do want to accomplish?  It can be big, little, in-between — but we all do it, even the kidlets.  It’s a great way to “point ourselves” so-to-speak.  And today, my intention is to “tweak time”, or more specifically how I interact with it, how I use it (or don’t), and how I dance with what shows up vs. what’s already on my “to-do” list.

I’m aware that part of what’s going on for me is a sense of wanting to do a LOT of things.  My podcast is just about ready to go live (March 18th is the scheduled launch); my co-author and I have just committed to launch in the writing of the 2nd book in our series (gulp! and yeah! all at once); my children have dance competitions and hockey tournaments; I’m aiming to run a marathon next year, which means starting to train now; every day I wake up with a new business project idea; and then there’s just the everyday workings of a professional woman in today’s society.  In other words, I’m juggling all the same stuff my clients juggle (which is good — it allows me to walk my talk).

And so, it’s time for me to revisit my “ideal week” — check out how I’m actually spending my time, and tweak what isn’t working.  Remembering that nothing is written in stone, it’s time for me to re-carve my schedule, play with new ways of playing, and have some fun.  In other words, it’s time to lighten up — unburden myself of some of the load and have some fun.  Join me on the ride?  It should be a fun one!
