A change of plan ….. |
Last week was a reasonably busy week at the Fraser HR office with several meetings planned and scheduled for the week. Sometimes running a small business can put my time management skills to the test, trying to spin the various plates by attending client meetings, preparing people plans for companies, maintaining the marketing message and connecting with new people and places through the various networking events I attend. When one such meeting had to be rescheduled I was somewhat disappointed, however what I did not anticipate was how much I would enjoy the ‘change of plan’ experience. Wednesday’s cancelled lunchtime meeting resulted in one such ‘change of plan’ – firstly a pub lunch, donning the walking boots and a short hike to the bluebell woods outside Marlow. The sun was out, the sky was blue and the hundreds of bluebells provided an amazing view! Once again it was good to take time out – away from the office and hear myself think - minus the telephone, the email and the other office distractions. When was the last time you had a ‘change of plan’ experience? What did you do with the extra time? How did you fill it – with something new or something different? Did you simply allow it to drift away unnoticed whilst you experienced the inner peace and tranquillity within? What did you gain by ‘taking time out’? What did you lose, if anything? Notice anything you never noticed before? Met up with someone you haven’t seen for ages because you have been too busy to call? If you do have a cancelled appointment or meeting this week – enjoy your ‘change of plan’ experience. |
