Further Secrets of Adulthood:
For me, if something isn’t on my schedule, it doesn’t happen. Which is why I have some slightly ridiculous items on my schedule: to kiss my husband every morning and every night; to force myself to wander; and something I talk about in Better Than Before (my forthcoming book on habit-formation), Power Hour.
In fact, the Strategy of Scheduling is one of the most popular and effective strategies of habit-formation. If we put an activity on the calendar, we’re much more likely to do, and in this way, make it into a habit. Even if the activity on your schedule is to make some time…to be unscheduled.
Do you schedule time to be unscheduled? Or do you think that sounds nuts?
