When our government talks about balancing the national budget, they are always talking about taking the existing budget (with all that has been accumulated over the years) and cutting things out of it. When we look at our busy schedules and try to find room for something else, we always take the entirety of our existing schedule (with all that has been accumulated over the years) and try to cut something out of it.
Here’s a revolutionary idea. (Well, maybe not so revolutionary. But, it seems like this idea has never occurred to the minds of many.) Rather than taking what is already there and trimming it back, what about starting from scratch? What about starting with a blank sheet of paper and building a budget, a schedule, a priority list from the ground up?
With a blank sheet, what really needs to be in your life? What should make the top three priorities in your life? What needs to be on your calendar each day? – DS
