The calendar and clock are phenomenal inventions that enable us to coordinate and communicate effectively.

Thanks to both of these creations, we’re able to schedule precise time slots with many individuals for activities far into the future.

Unfortunately, neither the calendar nor clock are capable of forecasting our state of mind, energy levels, or emotional bandwidth.

Rather than treating the calendar as a sacrament, we might want to downgrade it to a strong recommendation that we consistently re-evaluate.

Flexibility for the present should be a commitment made in the past.
