How committing to a predictable (piano recital) routine benefits you
Yesterday, the kids went back to school, ushering in yet another academic year filled with permission slips to sign, volunteer slots to fill, snacks to remember to buy and rain gear (sure to be outgrown) to be pulled from the back of the closet. Yes, it’s fun and exciting to reminisce about the smell of sharp pencils, new notebooks and the particular challenge of selecting a Picture Day outfit – but for most of us, the start of the school year also spells the unspoken shift back into serious adulting. What could once be vaguely postponed for “after the summer” or “once we’re back from camping” now really deserves attention: the tricky email you kept pushing deeper into your inbox, the Thanksgiving and Christmas plans you weren’t quite ready to commit to, the life goals you were planning to achieve by next January … With only four months left in the calendar year, now is the time to look reality squarely in the face and get cracking. Feeling anxious with me yet?
