I grew up in a very busy home. My parents and siblings were always "on the go" as my mom would say. There are many positives to a busy house, but there's also reason to slow life down now and then too. I want to s l o w down for a few months to achieve a few goals that depend on a slower speed rather than a quick hustle.
How will I slow down?
Don't overbook the schedule
I have a tendency to overbook my schedule which can make me frazzled from time to time, and when I'm frazzled I'm apt to make a few not-so-good choices.
Plan ahead
I love planning when it comes to pleasure, but I don't always embrace planning when it comes to life's necessary chores. To slow down means to make time to plan for the necessary chores with adequate time and attention.
Listen
When you're rushing, you're likely not as good at listening, and when you don't listen well, you often miss out on the important details of life. So slowing down means better listening.
Don't procrastinate
Get the dull and dirty jobs done sooner than later rather than procrastinating.
Make time for what really matters
Determine what really matter for your life, and make time for that.
Onward.
