FULL CALENDAR, EMPTY LIFE
Sometimes there is nothing more valuable than an empty calendar.
Sometimes the key isn’t filling the calendar.
It’s leaving it empty.
Often a full calendar indicates an empty life.
At the end of the day, anti-time management is about owning your choices.
The fight for choice is a tale as old as time.
Freedom of choice is freedom of time. Hasn’t it always been that way?
Hasn’t freedom largely been about your ability to choose how you spend your time and disallowing others from taking it from you?
How you spend your time is more important than how much you have.
Is your life doomed to endless task switching?
A calendar won’t help you with that problem.
Neither will the most recent time-management techniques handed down.
without achieving your desired results,
...maybe you’re not paying attention to the larger environment or the larger game being played around you.
Your level of work-life flexibility is N O T measured in how many hours a week you can work from home.
Work-life flexibility is the fusing of three capacities: availability, ability, and autonomy.
You can quickly identify your level of work-life flexibility by asking yourself how seamless it is to create the availability, ability, or autonomy you need to do something.
For example, ask yourself these work-life flexibility questions about time, means, and choice:
?? 1. How available am I, at will, to dive deep into a new project, go on extended vacations, hang out without stress, write a book, stop working, etc., etc., etc.?
Pick anything you’ve been wanting to do but haven’t yet and ask yourself why.
?? 2. How able (capable) are you to do the thing you want, if you wanted to, right now?
?? 3. How much autonomy, choice, free will, or say do you have to make this decision?
Work-life flexibility is more than freedom of time.
Work-life flexibility is actively choosing how to spend your time for greater work-life wellness.
Making your professional work support your personal wellness is a choice.
Where flexibility in work and life is found in being available, able, and autonomous, in flexibility in work and life is found in being unavailable, unable, and disempowered.
The next time you say no to something you want to do at work or in life, ask yourself how flexible you’re being.
In what ways can you be productive without sacrificing your values?
Flexibility isn’t your boss’s gift to give.
You must create flexibility yourself—even if you are your own boss.
So, how do you get true work-life flexibility?
How do you experience that freeing feeling of mental work-life wellness?
Good things happen not by managing time but by prioritizing attention.
The key to unlocking your autonomy and having the flexibility to act on your interests is attention prioritization.
