Thanks for this Savitree. I have started blocking out my calendar but never thought to use colours. That said, I am very disciplined with my me time anyway. One thing I suggest to my clients who say they are ‘too busy’, I ask them if they would be too busy to visit a dear friend or loved one in hospital. If you believe something is important, you will find the time. So, the key is deciding this is important and knowing why that is. 💕
That’s a good question back to your clients, Sue! In similar fashion, I’ve had clients tell me they can’t be on time for anything. I ask if they miss their flights. Because that’s the true test…
If you decide to try out the colors, I’d love to know how it works for you!
Thanks. Lately I've been doing this in my head and it's not working (big surprise). This is a timely reminder to sit down and actually look at my calendar. Last fall my calendar filled up with reds and it feels like it has stayed that way. Need to revisit MY priorities. One other thought. My biggest challenge is to give myself permission to have white spaces. I always seem to need to fill everything up, i.e., I should be doing something.
Glad this came at a good time for you to revisit Calendaring, Faye! Giving yourself permission is the big practice for most of us, so you’re in good company. In case it helps, you’ve got my permission… 🙌🥰
