This is the perfect time of year to assess where we need to “prune” our lives. In my new Book “7 Whispers from My Heart to Yours” (available on Amazon November 23, 2024), I include a tool you can use specifically for this season in your life.
Let’s carve out just 10 min this weekend to work through this tool and determine where we can prune.
Reflection Table:
- Questions to reflect upon:
- What area, relationships, or in my life is in need of review?
- How effective am I in this current commitment?
- Do I have time + energy to continue
- How much time does this commitment need?
- Is people-pleasing playing a role?
- We can all fall trap in over-committing to please others.
- How would I use this time instead?
- This is probably the most important question. At one point when I was filling in this box, I could’ve listed more than one item! I realized in that moment there clearly were more important commitments to myself I had been stalling while not evaluating this one.
- Decision
- Typing out the decision helps to externally process the decision.
| Commitment | My current effectiveness to this commitment 1-5 | Time Allocation (hours/month) | How would you use that time instead? | Decision |
| XXX Volunteering | 2 | 6 hrs | Increase time guest lecturing | End commitment |
| xxx Event | 1 | 3 hrs | Family fall tradition | Turn down invitation |
| Non-essential home projects | 2 | 7-8 hrs | Increased holiday plans with friends and family | Pause starting Projects until after holidays |
| Low priority project | 1 | 4-5 | Increased time to for High priority project | Extend project date to 2024 |
| Speaking commitment | 5 | 4-5 hrs | There’s nothing I’d rather do! | Make time to work on speech |
In Peace,
