Dreams are cheap. Calendar space is expensive. Put the dream on the calendar.

REFLECTION

WHAT THIS MEANS

Wanting something costs nothing, which is why it is possible to want the same thing for three years without moving. Hours are the scarce resource, and they are already spoken for by school, work, practice and the phone. A plan that never takes a block out of the week is not a plan, it is a mood. Nothing changes until something else gets displaced.

Open your calendar and give the thing one named slot this week, with a start time. Tuesday at seven, forty minutes. Protect it the way you would protect a shift, and if it gets missed, move it rather than deleting it.
