An appointment is simply a mutual agreement to meet with someone at a specific time.

You set appointments with doctors, dentists, lawyers, accountants, contractors and hair stylists, just to name a few. Usually, appointments that are set actually take place. Even when you do have to cancel an appointment, you usually re-schedule it and place the date and time on your calendar.

There's one person, though, that you might frequently forget to set up an appointment with.

That person is YOU.

The reason that many of us can't seem to find time to enjoy ourselves, read something of interest, exercise or watch a favorite television program is that we don't schedule a definite date and time to do so. You are too important to put the things you love to do on the backburner.

Why not schedule an appointment with yourself and write it on your calendar. When the time comes, keep the appointment, just as you would any other.

You'll find that you'll be able to start doing the things you love to do because you'll have a specific time slot on your calendar prepared to give you that time.
