Enjoy a bit of time all too yourself. Be sure to carve it out and hold that time in your day. Otherwise, you’ll work, sort out kids, parents, friends, do admin, side hustle, charity work and that Board you’re on and forget, or run out of time, for you.
Guard your down time!
You are smart, clever, sensible and capable. But why leave this to chance? Write things down. It takes a minute but you’ll be far better served by a note than your memory.
You think you’ll remember because it’s clear in the moment. However, a few days from now, with fifty other things going on, and you’re likely to forget or confuse the details with other things.
Don’t chance it. Write things down and review those things daily.
Focusing on negative aspects and the 2% of people that cause harm rather than the 98% that are neutral, or lift people up, is crazy.
There is no need to tear people down, call them names, or become hostile. They may have a different life philosophy to you, see things a bit differently to you based on their experiences in life or have a different political preference, but that is ok.
Live and let live. They have come by their views just as you have come by yours. For all but a few radical outliers, we can still get along despite our different perceptions.
And it’s a lot easier to get along if people haven’t called you names, shunned you or left you in fear for your health.
You don’t have to become a cheerleader, but please be decent in your discussions.
