Make Time for Fun – The Rest Falls Into Place
Posted on 07. Aug, 2010 by Laura-Jane - Whimfield in Inspirations, Personal
I am busier than I’ve ever been in my entire life, I think. But this Summer I’ve still been making a lot of time for the good, fun stuff: like beach days and nibbling peas from our garden before the sun rises.
I credit a new trick for my productivity. I’ve started using a Steve Pavlina
Because when you plan the good stuff in advance it forces you to buckle down and get to work on the bad stuff. For example, if you know that you’re going to spend Saturday at the beach (good stuff) then you’d better make good use of Friday night and accomplish the things that you usually put off (bad stuff).
See? Simple, yet effective–for me anyway. I need to trick myself. And even though I realize I am tricking myself, it still works. That’s the beauty of it.
Signing off. This weekend should involve another beach day, a walk to our blueberry patch, and other good stuff. Slotted in along the way will be the bad stuff. But that’s okay.

I try to something for myself every day. A hot bubble bath or a walk in the bush or a day at the beach. I find I’m a happier more balanced person if I take even just 5 min for myself every day and take a breath.

Fun makes all the rest worthwhile. Enjoy the beach. Reconnecting with the real world is healthy and inspiring.

I don’t recall seeing a UFO that fine sunny day?
