Have you taken a look at your calendar or appointment book lately?

• Are there items on there that you’d rather not see?
• Are there items that you’d like to see on there but you don’t have them scheduled?
• Do you enjoy opening up your calendar or is it a chore to manage?

For the next four weeks only, go through and systematically delete any appointment that you do not appreciate or enjoy. Here are some criteria:

1) Is this appointment meaningful to me?
2) Does this task make my life better?
3) Does this to-do item fit into my grand purpose?

If there are “filler” items on your calendar, NOW is the time to get rid of them!

I use the Google.com calendars on their personalized homepage, and it is a *great* tool for me: I schedule in meditation time, quiet time, and basic household tasks like watering the plants. This way I don’t forget any rote items, and I know I have specific appointments that help me grow and increase my abilities.
