Welcome to Everyday Happiness where we create lasting happiness, in 2-ish 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®. 

INTENTIONAL MARGINS® is finding the buffer of space and time to create harmony between our to-dos and our priorities. 

Do you ever feel like you are running on that hamster wheel of to-dos and afraid to jump off for fear that everything will crumble?  You’re overwhelmed and can’t see the vision and all you want is some clarity.  Yeah, me too!  Or at least that was me, before I started getting super consistent with my Margins.  The space and time in the day, that wasn’t a crisis or a “have to”.

Now, you might be thinking, I don’t have any margin, I go non-stop all day.

But let’s unpack this.  If you look at your calendar you might have some commute time to work or running kids to and from school, activities, all the things.  You might have an appointment or an important conference call or meeting.  Perhaps, you have a job, like my sister, who is a nurse, and she’s working 9-5+ hours and there is no break.  She’s basically on, all day. 

Whatever that looks like for you.  I encourage you to take a traditional week and put all of that in your calendar.  Then, add your sleep times.  If you're an overachiever, put in the calendar the dinner making and cleaning up time too.

Tomorrow we’ll talk about what’s left on that calendar.  In the meantime, if you want to grab a template to help you think this through, I’ve created a daily page PDF that is a tool to bring your priorities into focus and your tasks into alignment with your abundantly busy day.
