Schedule Those You Love.
One of the items on my regular Saturday to-do list is ‘date my wife.’ Nearly everyone who notices that my wife is one among many things to be crossed out thinks this is the height of unromance. What does my wife think? She loves it.
Why would she love being a to-do item? Because to-do’s represent commitments. If there isn’t any dedicated time on your calendar for those you love or care about, what does that say about the priority they really hold in your life?
While my wife and I spend time together during the week, it isn’t always quality time. We may be in the same room but working on different projects or talking about household business. Therefore, it’s nice to know that at the end of the week we have time dedicated solely to each other where we don’t let work interfere.
Take a look around in your personal life, decide who is important, and schedule them in.
