Why White Space is Too Important to Ignore

calendar spaceAllow white-space in your calendar. I know that sounds blasphemous but really nothing substantial happens in a vacuum. Nothing new can be created unless there is room to allow for forward movement. Too much of anything, even good things are still too much.

Creating blocks of time in your calendar where absolutely nothing is planned contributes to a feeling of peace, the feeling that you have enough time. If you wait for everything to get done before you allow time for creativity, brainstorming and planning for the future, you’ll rarely, if ever, find it.

Instead, your schedule will quickly be filled up by the details of everyday demands as well as with the requests of others. It seems everyone wants and gets a piece of your time. Everyone, that is, except you.

Do yourself and your business a favor, leave some white space on your calendar. You may be surprised at how productive this time might be.
