Rick Torrison tells the story of Amy, a client who managed her calendar perfectly but felt disconnected from her passion. The real work isn't checking boxes—it's designing your day so your daily activities actually align with your deeper purpose.
How will today align with my deeper purpose? If what you're doing today doesn't connect to your bigger why, you're actually not leading. You're drifting. I had a conversation with another client. We're going to call her Amy. Amy lived and died from her calendar, and she was really good at it. She could check off boxes with the best. The challenge, she realized after going through this process, was that while she could get things done, check the box, she felt like she was drifting from her passion and having little impact that third minute. It's designed to ground you. It helps you design your day, not just to survive it. You need to remind yourself of your purpose and passion, and then you need to declare it over your calendar. Look for ways to connect your purpose to your plans.
