If it’s not on the calendar, it won’t happen. I’ve learned that in busy seasons, self-care doesn’t magically appear—you have to claim the time, or the chaos will take it for you. Save this for the next time you feel like your day is running you.
The speaker introduces an especially busy upcoming couple of weeks tied to work and expresses gratitude for being booked while hinting at the challenge ahead.
The speaker advises blocking out family, solo, and rest time on the calendar — even small moments to be still — emphasizing that these must be intentionally scheduled.
The speaker warns that without scheduling, other priorities will overtake self-care and reminds viewers to make time for themselves even when days feel too short.
The next couple of weeks are my busiest as far as work and career stuff goes. And again, blessed to be booked, but I have to remind myself you also need to be blessed to reset and recharge. So I literally have to schedule that time on my calendar. Family time, solo time, rest and recharge time, even a couple of minutes just to stare at a wall. Put it on your calendar because otherwise the other priorities in your life that don't involve resetting and recharging will clearly make sure that taking care of yourself never becomes a priority.
So save this for the next time you need to remind yourself that even though there's not enough time in the day, there needs to be enough time to take care of yourself.
