Making Time For Whats Most Important

Making Time For Whats Most Important As I write this, Im creating my plan for 2009. Im tearing out each month of the calendar and posting them on the wall by my desk. Its amazing to see all the days of the year and all the possibilities.My goal is to make sure I make time for the most important activities in my life and career. Key areas Im planning for include:Commitments Ive made for radio, workshops and speakingNew teleclasses and webinars Ill be delivering in 2009 andInspirational cabaret shows Ill be putting on throughout the year.Of course Im also planning time off to rest and recharge! I used to feel stifled when planning my schedule in advance. I thought that if everything was set up, I couldnt be spontaneous. Over the years, Ive realized the opposite is true.By making sure the most important items are in my schedule, I have freedom to say yes or no to other interesting things that come along. Ive actually left room for them as well. In the past, I felt compelled to say yes to everything only to end up worn out. This year will be different.If you need to make time for whats important check out Cheryl Richardsons book Take Time for Your Life and click here for other helpful resources I recommend.What are the most important items for your calendar in 2009?
