One thing I’ve been reminded of recently is that we don’t find time… we choose how to spend it.
Over the past few weeks I’ve stepped away from work more than usual to spend time with my mum while she’s been visiting from Germany.
There have been moments where I’ve thought about everything I “should” be doing. The emails waiting, the studying I want to finish, the coaching business I’m continuing to build.
But this time with her won’t always be here.
It made me think about how often we say we don’t have time for the things that matter most, when perhaps the real question is…
Have we been clear enough about what matters most?
Our diary is often a reflection of our priorities.
Sometimes that’s exactly as it should be.
Sometimes it’s a sign that we’ve drifted so far into looking after everyone else that we’ve forgotten to make space for ourselves.
One of the questions I often explore with the mums I coach isn’t:
“How can you fit more in?”
It’s:
“If you were intentional with your time, what would deserve a place in it?”
Because once you’re clear on what you truly want, making decisions becomes so much easier.
I’d love to know…
What’s one thing you’d like to make more time for over the next few months? 💜
