Build White Space
Leave gaps in your schedule. Unplanned time isn’t laziness — it’s oxygen for creativity. That’s where ideas simmer and burnout stays at bay. If your day’s too tight, there’s no room to think — or breathe.
Progress, Not Perfection
You don’t need to “master productivity.” Some days will flow, others will flop. Time management is about direction, not discipline. You’re not trying to be a robot — you’re trying to make your human brain work with you.
Summary
Because the best routine is the one that gives you structure and freedom — enough order to move forward, enough space to feel alive.
