Scheduling for Serendipity along the way

At the end of the day, I want to be spent. Empty tank. If I still have the juice to do something, I will write, outline, or read (either a book or on Medium).

My emotional and physical tank is hovering around the big “E” by the end of my day. I’m spent. And I sleep great. I wake up refreshed with a full tank.

Die Empty Daily

This is a big mantra for me. Every day. Die Empty Daily. Towards the late afternoon, I start thinking about whether I’ve exhausted my energy and resources for the day.

I make sure my to-do list is done. My list has anywhere from one to three items — on purpose. Meetings and calls have been completed — and again, three scheduled maximum.

Schedule for Serendipity

Most of you know I’m an early riser. Pre-dawn early. It gives me time and focus to complete the most important work, or at least seeded.

Scheduling Serendipity allows me to say yes to more of the impromptu conversations. Having worked with senior citizens, they would often come to me with questions. Impromptu.

If it’s important to them, it’s important to me. They get enough “no” answers from their doctors and family. My love for them is too great.

So, I Schedule for Serendipity. As luck would have it, “Yes, ma’am,” or “Yes, sir,” I have time for you. It’s an essential piece of my Die Empty Daily mantra.

I’m Too Busy

Not one of my mantras. If you hear me say this, I’m lying, or you should ask to see my identification.

There are three reasons I wake up and get my day started so early:

To Schedule for Serendipity, in other words, leave plenty of margin in my day for interruptions, impromptu, and other improv moments

So that I can, with confidence, Die Empty Daily. I gave the day my all. My reward is sound sleep. And if I’m fortunate, I’ll have a tomorrow. Fresh and ready to live fully the next day.

I’ll never have to say I’m too Busy. I’ll say, “No,” but I won’t say to anyone that my paperwork or whatever is more important than you. It won’t come out of my mouth. Ever.
