How I Try To Prioritize

I made a calendar that details everything I want to do tomorrow. Which is great, to a point.

If you've been reading my blog for awhile, you'll know I like scheduling. But scheduling only works when it makes it easier to accomplish things that are important to you. If it chokes all the creativity and passion out of your daily routine, it's worthless.

The same rule applies to everything else in your life. If it helps to accomplish your dreams and your passion and what your calling is, keep it. If it robs you of time, resources, and energy that would be better spent elsewhere, pitch it.

Living simply isn't just about what you spend and how much you own. It's about living a lifestyle that gives you time to think, enjoy, and love those around you with the most precious thing you have to offer them: you.
