Reading really does force us to solo task, Dana, and it’s a good way to incorporate mental margin. Like you, I’m finding that I am showing up five minutes late to things, and I, too, detest it. Today was a good case in point. Broke the 15 minute rule and got caught in traffic. Sigh. 🙂

It occurred to me as I was reading the mental margins that when I’m reading a book, my brain is solely focused on one task. It may be the only time that happens, and perhaps that’s why I love reading so much!

I love the 15 minutes early idea – I detest being late, and I find it happens more than it used to.

I hear you about the mental margin, Tamara. My sleep correlates directly with my mental and emotional state. The good thing is that we are aware of what triggers us, so we can take the necessary steps to regain that margin.

Juliet you are so right! We need not one thing more. I too have a bunch of Real Simple magazines from 2014 that I am conning myself into believing that I will read. Sigh. I have to take my own advice and create some magazine margin!

And I remember reading once about how kids today eat a large percentage more sugar than years ago.
And that clothing sizing is different. It’s very strange!
I think in my life what causes the margins is mental health. That would cause me to eat less and sleep less. Or eat as much as usual, but not good things.

I’m in the process of collecting magazines that I accumulated since 2013 that I have yet to read. Will be placing in tables in waiting areas at my job. The subscriptions have stopped! Will be looking at other areas in my life where I can create margin. We need not one thing more!

Hey Eva!!! Thanks so much. Now that I am not in the regular 9-5 world of work I have to do a big clean up re: clothes. It’s a year now since I left the old job and I know I won’t wear half of what I used to, so my clothes margin needs work. I did a big book cleanse in the fall, so that is better. My weakness is toiletries. Pray for me! LOL

Glad it was beneficial to you, Chris! Believe me, I’m incorporating some of the suggestions too. We all have work to do in this important area of margin. Hugs, Ali

Gosh, I have some serious work to do. Scrolling back up to re-read it again and prepare myself for change!

Sharing- Oh we all need this encouragement and insight so badly!

I meant to comment when I saw it come up on instagram. I know I have to work on that physical margin. We have a LOT of books around here that we need to get rid of. Clothes too. Definitely sharing this…
