The Value of Empty Space (part 2)
Empty time on your calendar also provides value too. I wear many hats- as an entrepreneur, mom, wife, friend, volunteer, etc I have many different things vying for my time and attention. People have asked me many times what my secret is as a professional organizer that allows me to optimally manage my time. I have a basic philosophy for my calendar that you may find useful too…
I allow a bit of open time in my schedule. I don’t like it when my calendar is packed so tightly that one minor blip can throw off the whole day. For me, mastering time management is more than simply about scheduling each minute of my day. It’s about leaving time to pause so that the creative inspirations can come through and so that I can handle the unexpected during the day.
Empty space on my calendar provides the much needed peacefulness that allows me to do my best. Give yourself some empty space on your calendar each day and watch your peacefulness and creativity soar!
