My weekly schedule has it’s own little routine. I generally have the same clients, meetings, and things to accomplish along with some time allotted for projects. And yet, sometimes I struggle to get it all done, while other weeks flow with ease. Why is that?
I have noticed an interesting pattern. There have been times when my energy was low and I told my friend (who is also the person I share my daily wins with) that I was going to slow down, give myself a break and just putter through the day.
What happened was always surprising.
I would feel relaxed, peaceful, centered and still get more done than on the days when I hit the ground running.
When I slowed down, I accomplished more. It felt good, too.
Now, the trick is to remember and embrace this art of puttering through my days. And, share what I have learned with you so that you can try a slow down puttering day too.
Ha ha! Maybe you/re right. Loved the video!

Thanks. Yep, the music brought back happy memories and I actually did feel groovy while listening to it.
Love the song! This is so true. I find that when I accept my energy level and not fight it – I am more productive and happy.
It’s amazing how acceptance always guides us in the right direction. Thanks for sharing.
Perfect and diving timing for me today….. low energy….. feeling the pressure of what ‘should’ I do next! Now I am feeling sleepy and grounded! And now the day will unfold! With grace and ease!
Yes. Grace and ease are the way to go.
Having been brought up by parents with a strong work ethic, It’s tough for me to just putter through the day. What makes it even harder is that I enjoy my work. Even so, however, I know that taking a break to putter, lolligag or saunter are times of renewal.
By the way, there’s a day for that! Check out this post I shared urging us all to celebrate World Sauntering Day
I will definitely plan on celebrating World Sauntering Day. It sounds wonderful!
