The life you wanted

Time Tetris with M.U.S.C.L.E

Planning a day is like playing Tetris.

You have some funny shaped blocks of time that you want to fit into a row.

I was tempted today to get started on the first thing in front of me, but I stopped myself.

Instead I looked at my available tasks. And my available time. And started arranging them neatly.

I have an acronym to help me fit in the kinds of things I want to fit into each day.

An acronym helps you remember a long list.

M.U.S.C.L.E

M = Maintain

U = Understand

S = Seek

C = Create

L = Love

E = Engage

A life is made of days. You can only act today. And if you fill each day with the things that matter to you, you would have created the life that you wanted.
