Your calendar is one of the clearest mirrors of your life.
It shows where your energy goes, what gets your attention, and what you’ve silently declared “non-negotiable.”
But here’s the tension many of us feel:
We say we value health, rest, family, creativity, or leadership… yet our schedule paints a totally different picture. That gap creates stress, burnout, and a constant sense of being out of sync.
A simple principle changed the game for me: Schedule your personal priorities first.
Not as a reward for finishing the week—but as the foundation the week is built on.
When you anchor your calendar in the things that make you who you are, the rest of life organizes around your values rather than erasing them.
Reflective Question: What part of your life deserves a recurring spot on your calendar? Want to talk about it? Reach out.
