Now that I've paused, I want to rethink things. Time to face the 'not urgent but important' tasks.
Since starting my membership in October,
I've been feeling a mix of wanting to push forward with everything and the frustration of things not going as planned.
I'm not particularly busy,
but for some reason, my mind feels unsettled.
When days like that continue,
I find myself stopping and wondering,
'What should I do and how?'
But this morning, it suddenly occurred to me: 'Ah, there are things I want to do precisely because it's now.'
Rehearsals for the 2026 productions begin next month.
Thankfully, I'm involved in more projects than this year, and it will be non-stop until the end of August.
As the performances approach,
my feelings and time tend to focus entirely on that, and other things inevitably get pushed to the back burner.
That is precisely why this current period is,
what they call in 'The 7 Habits'...
"not urgent but important things."
a precious time to calmly work on those tasks.
And perhaps (or rather, definitely),
what I need right now is
to organize my home and life.
It's not that I should prioritize housework because 'I'm married' or 'I'm a homemaker,'
but rather that 'creating an environment where I can spend my time comfortably'
helps me organize my thoughts,
and I believe it leads to being able to face my family better.
It's easy to prioritize the tasks and work right in front of me, but securing time to face the state of my home is also about facing myself.
I don't have to aim for perfection,
and if I can't find the time, I can outsource it.
The accumulation of small tidying and organizing tasks
brings more peace of mind than I imagined.
Gradually organizing the environment I'm in right now.
That, too, is one of those 'important but often postponed' things.
That's why I want to spend this month cherishing that kind of time.
What are the 'not urgent but important' things for you?
