If your calendar leaves you struggling to breathe, it’s time to be more selective. Overscheduling can turn weeks and months into one big blur, said Laura Vanderkam, a time management expert.
“One of the reasons people feel they don’t have time for adventures in their lives is that their schedules are booked up with things that they don’t wish to do, various commitments they’ve taken on,” Vanderkam said. “They don’t have space for the fun stuff because their calendar is full of not-fun stuff.”
When somebody asks you to volunteer, attend an event or otherwise contribute your time, it’s very hard to say no. So Vanderkam suggests asking one key question before committing. Follow the link to see what it is. |

Even when we know people’s names, why do we go for days without using them? By using someone’s name, you help them feel seen and acknowledged — and that’s an act of kindness. According to kindness.org’s research in collaboration with the University of Oxford, doing a kind act increases happiness, well-being, trust and compassion. And it can have the same powerful effect on those who receive the act. Try it, and put a smile on both your faces. |
