Wisdom follow-up

What happens when I don't block my time to ensure I accomplish everything I want to? For the first time in ten months, I didn't write and publish a blog post "on time." Does it matter? It seems like it does, but maybe it doesn't.

What did I do instead of writing a blog?

- I took a vacation for a week without doing any form of work. 

- I went paddleboarding with my kids a few times.

- I spent time with my kids and old friends at the pool.

- I took the dog for walks.

- I didn't rush.

- I watched Survivor with my daughter.

Do they sound productive? No. Do these things sound important? Maybe not. But they are. These are the things I wanted to do. And I did them when I wanted to. I didn't put them off or plan them for the future. Five years from now, when my daughter is getting ready for college, I believe I'll look back and smile at the times we shared at the pool, on the paddleboard, and even watching Survivor. That's what matters.
