I start my days early. I rarely sleep later than 6:00 and I am often in my office by 4:00.
Even with the early start, my days are full so I schedule each carefully.
Most of my clients are located more than 15 miles from my home office so I go to them. The variety of each day is pleasant.
My five years of radio experience made me an expert in managing time. The goal in radio is to make things happen at an exact second. The goal of my schedule is to arrive at an exact minute.
Of course, the day never goes as I plan.
One person cancels. Another requests an urgent meeting. A third shows up late. A traffic jam prevents me from arriving on time.
Someone else misses our appointment and doesn’t answer his cell phone, wasting an hour of time during my busy season.
I’ve learned that the “Conspiracy for Me” has other plans.
The cancellation opens a time slot for the urgent request that has greater opportunity for me. The traffic jam causes me to arrive at the same time of my late arriving client. The person who stands me up gives me time to write this blog post while slowly eating a delicious meal in a wonderful setting.
