Forcing the schedule
There are roadblocks.
People who have authority and refuse to budge. Regulations that stop you doing what you want to do. Funding that falters. Unmovable forces.
If it’s…
There are always things – not urgent, but important – that need your time but you never manage to get to.
You want to do it, really … but there’s always a client meeting, a busy work load, a trip to the dentist, not urgent exactly, but pressing.
To get the important stuff done, remove choice and emotion and soft-avoidance and easy-cancelling from the equation. Force it into your schedule, and commit.
Pick a date that’s far enough away to not worry about, then treat it like a family holiday, or a client kick-off, or a court date – whatever it takes. Sacrosanct.
Make time for the important things, the truly urgent make time for themselves.
