As a business owner, entrepreneur, coach or consultant, it’s important to plan ahead and schedule the activities for your business, but in a fast-paced society, it’s easy for your calendar to be filled quickly with events, activities and tasks.
However, I find that the magic happens by including lots of white space in your calendar. Let me explain….
I learned awhile ago about the importance of white space when it comes to graphic design. If you are designing a flyer, you don’t want every inch of the flyer to be filled with words or graphics, it’s important that the design includes lots of white space.
The white space allows the eye to rest on the important information on the flyer like the title, the content and the images. This can not be accomplished if every inch of the flyer is full.
Much like designing a flyer, the way you design your life and your business needs to include lots of white space. Every inch of your calendar does not need to be filled with business events, activities, or tasks.
Society places a lot of emphasis on being busy, but over the last couple of years of being in business, I’ve learned that being intentional with your schedule and including white space in your calendar is much better than being busy, overbooked and stressed.
