How do you do this?

savypat @savypat (20216) • United States 17 Jan 09

Schedule time for yourself, right now. Every day if possible, even if it’s just 10 mins. This is a suggestion given by Zen Habits, It started me thinking it would be nice to know how others do it.

adforme @adforme (2114) 27 Dec 07
