Vol. 116: Making the most of limited time

If there’s one theme I hear about more than any other when it comes to relationships (or any pursuit for that matter) it’s this:

Time is LIMITED. 

Of course, time is limited. We’re strapped with so many day-to-day responsibilities. We’re taking care of dependents, we work, we do household chores, and we figure out what to eat for what feels like the one billionth dinner of our lives. Oh, and we try to find time to be good friends, family members, partners, and practice good self care.

It’s a LOT.

And this time of year, with less daylight and more holidays, the reality of pressed time becomes only more true.

While I wish I had a magic wand that could grant us all more time in the categories we want it in, what I find to be a more realistic approach is to be intentional about using the time we do have in ways that are as impactful as possible. That way, we can aim our limited amounts of time and energy at the actions that have the biggest payoff.

Step one of doing that is understanding what’s WORKING.

That was the inspiration for this week’s questions. I can’t help you figure out what to eat for that one billionth and one dinner (I’m clueless myself), but I bet I can help you and your partner inch a little closer together through conversation. Try it and see?
