Welcome to Everyday Happiness where we create lasting happiness, in about 2 minutes a day,  through my signature method of Intentional Margins® (creating harmony between your to-dos and your priorities), happiness science, and musings about life. 

I'm your host Katie Jefcoat and today we are talking about my concept INTENTIONAL MARGINS®.  

Yesterday, you looked at your calendar and wrote down all the have-tos.  The commute, the meetings, the kids activities, the dentist, all the things you have to do. 

The rest is your margin.  And the big question is how do we make the absolute most of our time so that we create a fulfilling life in our Intentional Margins®.  What I’ve found, is that when we aren’t intentional, we look back, over the day and wonder, what did I do that was in MY priorities. I felt so busy all day.   

Days become weeks, weeks to months, months to years and pretty soon we’re checking the todo list, but we’re on auto-pilot. 

INTENTIONAL MARGINS® is a filter to identify what matters most, your priorities, and figure out how to make time for them.  So that, you can look back at the week, and have a win, recognizing that you did live in your priorities and you are in fact creating a fulfilling life.   

For a lot of us, it’s just about awareness.  When we, for a split second, turn off auto-pilot. 

Now, if you think that’s not you - you don’t actually have a moment for your priorities, I invite you to think about how much margin you might have.  Those pockets of time. And what are some priorities that you would like to focus on during that time?  It could be 15 minutes here and there or an hour or two in the evening.
