I honestly don’t know why people don’t talk about it more and how stressful it is – every time. Maybe we block it out once it’s done? It’s staggering to think about how we somehow get through it time after time, even those of us (like me!) who are careful planners and list makers. I know I’m not the only one running on fumes on a travel day, having only gotten a few hours of sleep after all the packing and preparation.

You run your calendar. Your calendar does not run you. It sounds simple enough in theory. But, we all know what happens as the week becomes a runaway train, and somehow the weekend, which is supposed to be for you to relax and recharge is filled before it’s even begun.
