Lately, I notice my calendar feels like it belongs to everyone else. It’s full of demands, meetings, and responsibilities, with only a sprinkle of the things I truly want to do. When I try calendar blocking, it instantly triggers me. The structure feels like control, and part of me longs to be free. Yet at the same time, I know I need some rhythm to thrive.
I catch myself pushing through to get things done, no matter how I feel. The truth is, I haven’t spent much time exploring my natural rhythm. That feels new and unfamiliar, but I know it’s where the answer lies.
Weekends are when I rush most. It’s my free time, so I fill it with writing newsletters, drafting blogs, and working on social media. I love the creativity, but sometimes it feels like a lot of work for little return. I’m starting to wonder: what if I flipped it upside down? What if I treated my creative time as play instead of pressure? That thought opens up something new inside me.
Another big realization: the one thing on my schedule that no longer feels aligned is my corporate job. That’s a scary truth to sit with. Letting it go feels risky- yet also freeing. Every time I imagine releasing it, I feel more space, more lightness, more possibility.
And when I think about what I’d do with more time, the answer is clear: I’d network, build relationships, and connect with people who inspire me. That lights me up.
Time is showing me exactly where I’m aligned and where I’m not. It’s not the enemy – it’s the mirror. And the more I stop fighting it, the more I notice space opening up for what I really want.
Reflection for you:
Where in your calendar are you fighting time instead of flowing with it? And what’s one thing you can release this week to create more space for what matters?
