Hi Karen, Here I am–white space on hand and I’m answering your comment. Thanks so much for sharing. I chuckled when I read making dinner in the afternoon! Yes, indeed it can take me all afternoon! I have a dim memory of throwing dinner together in less than 30 minutes when I worked full-time. Dim, very dim!! I have also learned that it’s okay to take something off the plate as the day unfolds. Joe and I bought the mums today, but they will get displayed another day! In the meantime, I enjoy peace of mind the rest of the day!

We sound very similar in managing white space.
I have learned the hard way not to put too many things in my day. Muti-tasking is a thing of the past. I have grown to accept that. I still manage the same things, but they are no longer a priority.
I focus on one or two things in my morning, and making dinner in the afternoon on most days. The rest I leave open for me. Creating white space is now a priority. I use this time to paint, read, write emails or letters, make phone calls, or whatever I feel the need to do.

I accept that things are different now . It’s ok not to accomplish all that I used to in a day. That doesn’t spell failure, it spells peace of mind. I love the term “white space”.

Hope all is well with you Linda. I enjoyed reading this article!

Warm regards,

Karen
