Doing What Matters Most

2/25/2019

What matters most is what matters most to you.

The truth is that no one can tell you exactly when to get up in the morning. Or what kind of morning routine is the best one. It has to start with you.

What is most important to you. We start there, with making sure there is time for whatever that is. And we work backwards from there to how to spend the rest of your time.

What would that be for you?

For me, it's spending time with my son, and having time to myself, so that I can push away my worries by having a quiet time, drinking a cup of tea, reading, and/or watching TV. I also care about helping our days go smoothly enough that my son has time for the things that matter to him, and that we get homeschooling done in a way that doesn't feel rushed. Learning in a hurry just doesn't work.

And the whole reason to worry about things like better productivity or time management is those things that matter. Otherwise, why bother?

Sometimes, I feel frustrated with people who seem to be suggesting that the most important reason is to feel proud of yourself. There are many more important reasons than that. Connecting with those deeper reasons makes it much easier to make the changes that we need to make.

I want you to feel and to be in control of your time. Empowered to choose the way you spend it and happy about the time that creates.

Not that you won’t ever have bad days, or have something unpredictable happen.

But most of the time? You’re spending your days as you choose to spend them: on purpose.

When you live on purpose, your life will change.

And here's a way you can prepare yourself for on-purpose living - more easily, and free of charge! - with the Make More Margin eBook.

I have to say how much I enjoyed this post! It's interesting what you noticed about those who feel it's all about being proud of yourself...sometimes I think it may be just where you are in your own personal journey. Just my own thoughts on that one. Anyway, thanks again for a post that makes you pause for a moment and reflect.

Thanks so much, Barb! And I agree that what people focus on is personal. I remember I always felt like the accomplishment itself, which would mean being proud of it, was the biggest reason for being productive, and I realized that that would never be enough to motivate me. But imagining more time with my son, and really *seeing* us hanging out together in my mind - now, that is powerful motivation. :)
