Monday reflection: Making time

We often say we don’t have time, we can't find time, but time isn’t something you find, it’s a resource that you choose to give to certain tasks. If we aren't actively allocating our time and allowing others to do it for us then we lose the initative.

Every calendar reflects priorities, not constraints. Creating time means making deliberate choices: declining meetings that aren't necessary, delegating tasks, and protecting your time and your focus. Effective people don’t wait for space to appear in their diaries, they build space in.
