If you are attempting to rest well, is it the right time to have a double espresso a few hours before bed? Or do you tend to the lawn in the dark? We do so much daily that commands and gets our appropriate attention and rightful decisions.
Except when it comes to ourselves.
We give our most valuable time to others. First, with the early morning texts, the news, and social media. It’s our attention they want, and they have it. Then, we start our day with a flurry of meetings, and any space we have for ourselves to do our work, take a break, go for a short recovery walk, or have some alone time, we sacrifice it to appease others.
Just why?
What if we switched this all up? Start with you. Put your priorities first and early. Get them done, and you will have won the day by early morning. Now, anything from here is for others. Not only will you gain success, but you will also be able to give more to others, knowing what you need to accomplish is already done.
Try it. It is your schedule. Own it.
If you want to give to others, take care of yourself first.
