What would you do with an extra hour?

Time is precious.

Too much to do, too little time.

If there were only more hours in a day.

Have you heard that enough in your lifetime?

This weekend, those of us in the Northeast United States experience Daylight Savings Time. While we usually loathe the idea of losing an hour in the spring, we're typically happier about the idea of gaining an hour in the fall. Today, I invite you to lean into the possibility that turning back the clock will allow. Even if you don't change the clock, I encourage you to consider this question: what would you do with an extra hour?

(As with all things, there are exceptions to the rule, and there are many opinions about Daylight Savings Time. For the sake of time [get it!?] let's leave those aside for now and focus on what's positive.)

An hour may not sound like a life-changing amount of time. It's not enough time to tackle a big project or go deep into planning. However, it is enough time to tackle smaller projects and clear the mental or physical clutter that's been taking up space and distracting you. It's enough time to help you feel productive and make progress toward your goals.

Today, I invite you to think about the goals you'd like to achieve. Pick one that matters most to you. Then, consider how you might break it up into smaller projects. Think about what you could realistically accomplish in an hour.

It doesn't always feel like time is on our side. This Daylight Savings Time, see if you can make the most of the extra hour and recruit it for your team.

Self-reflection:

What goals are you working toward?

Why are they important to you?

Where are you getting stuck or stalled?

What would you do with an extra hour?

    At first glance, this is kind of a silly question. Of course, today is different from yesterday.
