Protect your “me time”
from Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman
How to Apply This
-
Choose one thing you’d like to do during your “me” time.
It could be a creative project like finally starting your illustration work or writing your novel. -
Block your “me time” off your calendar.
The rule of personal finance, “pay yourself first,” applies here. After all, you cannot really find time for your most valuable activities after dealing with all your other commitments, hoping there will be something left at the end. So, schedule your “me time” in the first hour of each day and don’t let other activities interfere. -
Neglect other commitments.
Choosing to work on the project that matters most to you means neglecting all other commitments that matter less. Be willing to accept the consequences of your choices.
