Every morning I sit down with my coffee and plan my day as much as I can. I've done this for years, it's a good way for me to focus as I start my day. I'm one of those people that dislikes being rushed so i get up earlier than I need to in order to have the relaxing time to do this. What it boils down to is priorities. A friend told me the other day that he wished he had more time with his family. I told him that no one has the time to do anything they want to, they make the time. We have the time we give ourselves.
What time do you give yourself to plan your day, to love your family and friends, to bring joy to the mundane? Even simple, boring tasks seem more fun when you write them in your TN them cross them off as you accomplish them.
Try waking up a little earlier tomorrow, spread out your creative supplies and put some love, time, and passion in to that TN and see how that simple morning practice adds to your day.
