The simple act of constructing my ideal week makes me to think more intentionally about life, and how I’d like to spend my time.
The events on my calendar give my useful nudges. At 10pm, for example, I get a calendar notification saying ‘No more devices, bed and reading.” And I think “huh that’s a good idea – I think I will do that.’ It’s a gentle suggestion from my intentional self. Obviously stuff comes up. But it works most days.
The calendar acts as a gatekeeper for my time. If I want to take on a new thing, I look at my calendar and see that most of the space is blocked out. So I’ll think “well I need to make space for this”.
Be more intentional about who you want to become. Have vision beyond your current circumstances. Imagine your best future self, and start acting like that person today.
