When it comes to planning our schedule, where do we begin? The common approach is to make a to-do list. We write down all the things we want to do and hope we’ll find the time throughout the day to do them. Anyone who has tried keeping such a list knows many tasks tend to get pushed one day to the next, and the next. In order to become indistractable, we must plan our schedules around values. We should ask ourselves, “how would the person I want to become spend their time?” When we don’t make time for our values, we unintentionally spend too much time in one area of our life at the expense of others. If we chronically neglect our values, we become someone we’re not proud of—our life feels out of balance and diminished. Ironically, this ugly feeling makes us more likely to seek distractions to escape our dissatisfaction without actually solving the problem. The outbreak of COVID-19 has given us all plenty of time to consider the things we value. Maybe it’s spending more time with our loved ones. Maybe it’s spending more time in prayer or meditation. Whatever it may be, we can all emerge out of this with a renewed understanding of our values. #Indistractable #Scheduling #Values #COVID19 …see more
