Summering Your Schedule

The June Gloom in San Diego has dissipated. Which means summer’s officially here. If you're someone who thrives on structure, momentum, and a to-do list that somehow grows overnight, 1) totally okay, 2) you're not alone, and 3) this is your gentle reminder that urgency culture doesn’t always take a break in June, July, and August.

But, you can in your own way. And, if you're none of the above, obviously you can as well. Not that anyone truly needs permission, ha! What if this summer, instead of going harder than ever ALL the time, you experimented with a little more calm in your work-life flow?

Try this. . .

☀️ If permitted, work from anywhere on occasion - maybe your backyard, a coffee shop, the beach (a favorite at our house).

☀️ Swap one meeting a week for a walk-and-think session.

☀️ Use your kids' sports as a pause point. Disconnect and enjoy.

☀️ Let “done for today” be good enough even if the list isn’t finished.

☀️ Clean out your inbox. Not necessarily an activity specific to summer, but it's not the worst idea before a vacation.
