Lately, I’ve started to question: why should I continue to work towards a routine? The reason I have come up with is that there are certain habits I need to maintain for my health and well-being, and a routine is a source of systemic support for that habit.

This may seem daunting, overwhelming or impossible, but it’s important to remember that these are all things you want to do. These are the things that are letting you live your core values, savor your life, connect with your loved ones - so motivation will not be the issue, it’s pure time management.

We have established that your time is finite and that you need to be clear on your values and get to your own icing point. As you figure that out for yourself, it’s important to recognize that this is also true and necessary for everyone around you (although most of them will not be ready to do that work). In fact…

Time management is my superpower. It is the thing I do best and I haven’t met anyone who does it better than me (yet). So I figured if I boast about it on my blog here and share all the thoughts, philosophies and practices that contribute to my success, I could a) gloat about something I’m great at and b) potentially help you, the reader, improve your own time management skills.
