Being a project manager for more than 10 years, I have made planning engraved in my bones. Even for sabbatical time, I have made a thorough plan to ensure that I will use the time “wisely” and not “waste” it. The plan is hour to hour and no difference from my daily schedule when I worked in office. I thought that being a freelancer, I would have more control over my time.
🕐Earlier this week, I had an appointment with one of my most respected mentors. I had been really looking forward to this conversation. He is very wise, senior and of course busy. We usually communicate via Teams, and although we had exchanged WhatsApp contacts, we had never actually used it. The day before, I even joked, “I don’t have Teams on my personal phone, so let’s just meet at 10 AM—old school style. See you there!”
