9 times out of 10 I regret making plans😅
I rarely give attention to the social life aspect of my life. Mostly because I’m an introvert, but also because it’s hard for me to slow down from whatever work I have going on.
When it’s weeks away, I genuinely feel excited about the plans. But as it gets closer and closer, I feel overwhelmed by my schedule. An older version of me would just cancel, but I’m trying to live a more balanced life.
If you are trying to do the same, here are two tips that might help:
1. Check your schedule: If you have too much going on that you don’t have time to see friends/family, you probably have too much going on. Don’t commit to so many things that you have to sacrifice your social life long-term.
2. Remind yourself of how excited you were when you first made the plans.
Almost always, I have to push myself to follow through with plans, but I’m happy once I’m there.
What has helped you stick to your plans?
