Embracing Flexibility in Your Schedule
A topic that comes up in so many of our coaching calls, is scheduling and flexibility. This often comes up at the beginning of the year, as we have new classes, new jobs, new responsibilities, and new obligations to ourselves and to other people. So, when we have new things that we want to do and get involved in, how do we fit all that in?
Navigating Life’s Rhythms Through Flex Scheduling
When it comes to scheduling anything from school, family time, social time, time to study, work, how do we do it all? It is easy to want a routine, but life is flexible, so we need to find some flexible time. Embracing flexibility in your life to your advantage is going to change how you do and see everything and every opportunity, and that is why we use flex scheduling.
- Flex scheduling requires the process of identifying non-negotiables and integrating flexibility into the schedule to accommodate different activities.
- It is important to use flex time productively, doing activities such as exercise, socializing, or engaging in meaningful experiences rather than passive pursuits like scrolling or binge-watching.
- Be present and mindful in every activity, whether it’s studying, working, or leisure time. I encourage intentional engagement with chosen activities.
- Life is inherently flexible, schedules may change due to evolving circumstances and unexpected events. Embrace life’s ebbs and flows, and adapt your routine accordingly.
- Find comfort in the flexibility of life rather than seeking rigid routines. It is important to adapt to different life seasons and use flexibility to your advantage.
