August 21st - You're not "other people"
Aug 21, 2025
“When I was in school I did this and this AND this…”
Blah, blah, blah…
It’s easy to look at classmates, friends, or peers and feel like you should be doing everything they do, or doing it faster or better.
Or maybe you’re getting the age old “used to work a full time job and come home and cook for six kids” story, implying other people did way more than you’re doing, and they turned out just fine. (But did they?)
Your life, your energy, and your priorities are unique to YOU.
-
You don’t have to take on the same responsibilities, in either type or number.
-
It’s 100% okay to focus on what truly matters to you.
-
It’s even absolutely fine to have tons of free time, and not fill your day chocked full of projects.
In fact, one could argue this is the point of time management: do what you need to more efficiently so you can get on to enjoying life.
(It’s me, I argue this is the point.)
It can still be a challenge to confront these ideas. How can you manage the thought you should be doing more?
