Good morning!
The start of September means it is time for my August review! Super happy to say farewell winter and hello to spring. August was a pretty great month in terms of ticking off the habits I wanted to focus on and it was also a great month for putting some more structure to my days.
I know some people will read that and think they couldn’t think of anything worse but adding this structure to my days actually saw me achieve more and find more time for the activities I want to spend time on. Once you examine the reality of your workload each day, you become smarter about what you choose to add in to your day and what you can take off your to do list.
If you are at a point where you feel like you are not getting done the things you really want to get done, then start blocking out these times in your calendar along with your other commitments so you can see what is taking up valuable space across your week. As I have said many times before, the reality is we will not have time to do everything we want to do in our weeks, therefore we have to make conscious decisions about where we spend our time. If you are not making conscious decisions about your time use then your time use is often dictated by others – don’t let this happen, get in first!
You can read my full monthly review here where I share my progress towards my goal for the year.
