My Life Changed After Making Time For These 5 Things
There’s one thing that I’m always nervous about when I open a certain application on my laptop or phone. It’s the one that makes people the most uncomfortable, surprised, and confused. It’s the app that makes me appear the most neurotic, Type-A, and intense — my calendar. Ever since my sophomore year of high school, I’ve been a pretty strenuous scheduler. I haven’t always done it well, but since I’ve figured out how to use it best, it helps me automate my timetable, make time for what I want to do most, and keep track of everything going on in my life. Honestly, it’s kind of magical, allowing me to do project after project, event after event, and job after job without losing track of what I have up next. However, having a calendar so meticulously kept up often confuses people.
And I think that comes down to one simple idea that people don’t realize at first glance — I create my own calendar. What looks like a stringent regime thrust upon me is actually something I’ve intentionally chosen. The calendar has been carefully crafted, not something someone else has imposed on me. If I want to make a change, that’s my prerogative, and can do so easily within the confines of the flexible Google Calendar app. It also allows me to make time for things that are important to me, and things I might not get to, or remember to do otherwise.
