Hello everyone welcome to my weekly audio journal.
This was our first week since freedom day and since I've had some time to reflect on the past week. It was sweetly painful over the past four months of the pandemic lockdown to get more than a year's worth of time with my partner, to get an uninterrupted streak of morning walks and study blocks during my most valuable time of learning. It was sweet because I loved every minute of it. It was painful because I had chosen not to have this before, I had so often chosen the other things. The less important things we throw into that bucket of “work responsibilities”. It is intimidating to contemplate how easily it will be to slip back into the old way of doing things too.
This awkward feeling of coming out of lockdown for me has really got me thinking of moving certain activities into my non-negotiable list. Rather than allowing “work” to sidetrack what is really important to me.
This week I'd like to leave you with, what is your non-negotiable list? And if you already have one, is it time for an update?
Thank you all for listening.
