I’m the type who likes to obsesses over time efficiency.
Once I discover a way to do something in its most efficient manner, like take the most efficient, time-effective route to work, I lock in.
And I’ll do it the same way day-in and day-out until I find a better way.
Now, because of this, and because I’ve been maximizing the efficiency of my days for two-ish decades now, my days are pretty locked in.
My morning routine is on lock… my afternoon routine is on lock… and my evening routine is on lock…
Which has me leading very “locked in type days” that can start to feel awfully monotonous.
But, generally speaking, the efficiency side of me is more stubborn than the spontaneous, just-do-whatever-the-heck side of me is persuasive.
And it’s at times like this, when I’m feeling the monotonous grind, that I have to remind myself to book something that I can look forward to.
This has been the key for me for years.
If I have something in my calendar that’s going to strip me from the daily grind and immerse me in a new world with new experiences… then spontaneity comes completely naturally to me and I have zero problem doing whatever, whenever, however.
In fact, it’s my time to NOT be time efficient and I relish in the opportunity by going all in.
Being time efficient is a beautiful thing. It’s a sign that you’re effectively managing your life’s most precious resource.
But, as is the case with many things in life, too much of a good thing can make you… dull.
And today’s message is just that: don’t be dull, dear reader.
