I remember taking music theory in college and hearing something to the effect that you need to learn the rules before you can break them.

I thought of that today as we discussed “time-blocking” in seminar! So many great observations were made and lessons learned from those who have been putting this tool into their lives over this past year.

When you get a schedule plotted out, or when you set a new goal, or get your meal plan made, there will be moments when you will have to decide whether to stick with the plan or not.

That decision will get easier to make as you go along and gain some experience with planning. There are times that it would be best to continue as planned, and use the plan as a boundary for keeping your balance and not over scheduling yourself.  And then there are times when the greater good would be best served by choosing to leave something undone until tomorrow or next week!

See, it is kind of like learning the rules to break them isn’t it?

The point is that the schedule is there to serve you! It is the tool in your hand and you wield it as the intelligent creator that you are!

The best thing about time-blocking is that it allows you greater freedom and more time because you will be functioning on pre-made decisions. All the time it takes to decide where to begin each day isn’t eaten up needlessly, when you can make the decision once (for now) and move on.

More coming up this month on the how’s of making those decisions and setting those boundaries and much more on how to take this idea from theory, into practice and then nuance it into an art.

All my love to you today!

Have a good Sabbath,

Jacque
