As Summer keeps getting closer, I can’t help but think about what I want to fill my time with. Having not locked down plans for the Summer, I am thinking about where I’d like to work as well as how I would like to grow as an individual. This will be the one time each year where we don’t have commitments to school, organizations, homework, etc. But it is just so easy to waste the summer away on this or that.

With so much time, we should make the most of it in order to continue learning, growing, and experiencing.

I would like to encourage you to maintain your planner over the summer filled with to-do items, dinners with old friends, and weekend trips.

Here are my 4 ideas to help fill your planner.

1. Hold yourself accountable to reading 1 self-development book and 1 fun read per month.
2. Every other week, have lunch with an old friend from college or high school that you wish you stayed connected with.
3. Find a unique workout class to attend once per week. Try yoga, kickboxing, spin, or trap fit, or barre.
4. Plan 2 weekend trips over the summer to have some much-need R & R.

This is your time. Plan out how you’d like to spend your summer, and hold yourself accountable! 3 months can go by very fast, so don’t let the precious time slip away!

Keep moving Fourward,

Ash
