Next year is already shaping up to be even busier than this one so I am taking this calm before the storm to make sure I have everything as prepped I can. The time blocking has really streamlined things and I’m able to get a lot more done now, including things just for fun.

We’re taking a pottery class starting next Monday…! I would have never felt like I could afford to do that timewise before. I first talk about this with TIME BLOCKING AS A SUPERPOWER here. I’m cautiously optimistic.

My youngest son sent me this video today on being busy versus being productive. I think that’s the secret of the time blocking… because everything has to fit in a box I can only say yes to the things that are the most important to me. I admit, I flinched when they bring up the 20 item to do list. I am guilty. I need to pin the quote from Bruce Lee on my calendar.

But don’t let me keep on about it. The creators over at After Skool are much better at that.
