Schedule Time for Play

Intentionally making room for play in your calendar reinforces its value in your life. Treat play as a non-negotiable appointment, just like work or exercise, to ensure it becomes a consistent part of your routine. Block out time for activities you enjoy, whether it’s creative hobbies, games, or outdoor adventures.
Research shows that regularly scheduling play boosts happiness, productivity, and even cognitive flexibility (The New York Times). Prioritizing playtime helps you recharge, nurture your creativity, and maintain a balanced, joyful approach to everyday living.
