The life you wanted

adamming.substack.com

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.

If you liked this one, here are two more like it:

  1. “You think sequentially”

  2. Make the most of it

Great sentiment Adam. We're all so busy trying to get to this 'perfect' life we miss the fact that each day is really all we have. Thanks for the reminder.
