OUGHT TO BE EASY-ER

Monday July 29, 2019
 
 
Making time is easy – takes pencil, calendar. We fit, then re-fit.

Worthy projects/worthwhile connections survive.

Important things slide through proverbial floor cracks. You’ve heard their sounds, often in your own voice:
 
Let’s get lunch some time.
Call me for coffee.
You know, we should get together – it’s been too long.
There is something I’ve been meaning to talk to you about
What happens next?

Nothing.

Making time for people ought to be as easy. Pencil, calendar. Rescheduling shouldn’t be difficult, but seems to be.

We need make time – in our head, in someone else’s head and on the calendar. Without three in alignment what can work?

Is it really that simple?

Of course – or it ought to be.

Bigger better question is whether we are allocating time with people we ought to be spending it with?
