Take Time For “Nothing” This Weekend

Filed under Family, Personal, Time Management/Organization

I spoke last weekend at North Point and talked about the importance of “Pausing” in life. 

For most people, you have a 3-day holiday weekend coming up, and it’s a great opportunity to pause in life.  Memorial Day weekend is kind of the natural transition time into the summer, which I’m sure we’re all excited about. 

We talked about the idea of scheduling times of “nothing” into your life.  Schedule your personal time like you would any other appointment on your calendar.  And then guard it religiously. 

Take time to do something fun this weekend.  Go for a walk.  Fly a kite.  Come admire the fence I built. 

We all live busy, hectic lives, so we need time to recharge the batteries.  This is the perfect weekend to do that. 

Get your work done by Friday.  It’ll still be there on Tuesday when you come back.  Pause and enjoy the weekend.

    Grant,
    Thank you for reminding us about the importance of Memorial Day. I’m going to honor, Those That Gave ALL, by attending public events. Also, love your work with young people as well as BPA. P.s. Your Website is nice; See Ya At The Top! Hope our paths will cross… — eResumes4Vips

    I’m sure the 3 day weekend will bore me to death, so I’m planning on a lot of geocaching.
