The power of ‘maybe later’

I’m on a year away from full-time work at the moment. I was thinking about the value of free time today, and came up with a little reminder:

“My time is my own:
I will give time and space for reflection before allowing new commitments into my life.  I’ll ask: Is this what I want in my life? How does it fit with the big picture? Am I doing the right thing in the right way at the right time?”

I hope to use this to keep my time my own in the future.
