making time

people always make time to do the things they really want to do. - anon i read this somewhere a few years ago and i remember it when i find myself saying i don't have time to exercise or to do this or that. the truth is we choose how we spend our time - whether it be sitting in front of a computer, reading, exercising, sleeping or spending time with loved ones. i am really making a concerted effort to be more aware of how i spend my time - both at work and at home. it's always a challenge and there will never be enough hours in a day to do everything, so i am going to strive to do things that are important to me. these are my priorities: - be more prompt - listen more, speak less - exercise 3-4x a week - spend at least 30 minutes in true conversation with christopher every day - get more sleep - go on date nights at least 2x/month - check in with friends and family at least once a month - sit down at the piano once a week to play - spend one on one time with Finn & Scout
