The chief reason we\u2019re surprised is that the summer brings new projects that we often don\u2019t count as projects and we have to weave those projects in with the projects we set in motion in the spring.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why don\u2019t we count the new projects that summer brings? Simple\u2014many of us don\u2019t count \u201clife\u201d activities as projects or prioritize \u201clife\u201d activities in the same way we do \u201cwork\u201d projects. There\u2019s an artificial divide between the work we do and the &#8220;life stuff&#8221; we do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But here\u2019s the thing: <\/span><b>regardless of whether something falls into the \u201cwork\u201d or \u201clife\u201d bucket, it\u2019s going to take time, energy, and attention to get done.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> My definition of project in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/startfinishingbook.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start Finishing<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is anything that requires time, energy, and attention to complete. The upshot of looking at things this way is that it helps us see more clearly <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">all<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the stuff we\u2019re carrying and trying to do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, what are some &#8220;life&#8221; projects?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Summer trips are projects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transitioning kids from being at school all day to being at home all day for the summer is a project. (As is transitioning them <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">back<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> into school.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Figuring out how to keep said kids fed every day is a project (that then turns into a new daily routine).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintaining yard care equipment is a project (that then turns into a new weekly routine of taking care of the lawn.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cleaning out the garage is a project.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting the motorcycle and\/or bike ready for the season is a project.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I could go on, but you get the point. All of those are summer-specific projects that fall in our laps after the spring. But when we\u2019re setting plans in spring, we\u2019re often not thinking about them because they\u2019re not in our face in the same way as a kid asking where the milk is (where it always is!) or the weeds that are peeking over the window to the backyard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If it were just that new projects blossom in the summer, it would be one thing. But conjoined with new projects blossoming is that many of us often want to work less in the summer\u2014and, for some of us, the desire to slow down isn\u2019t just emotional, but something primal or spiritual. The long, hot days of summer changes some of us from hard-driving, high-energy, can-do folk into a walking Jimmy Buffet song.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though we find ourselves in this position every year, it can be hard to see the pattern. Part of it is just the pace of life, but the other part is that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.productiveflourishing.com\/you-are-not-a-robot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">we too often think of ourselves as invariant robots rather than the animals we are<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Every other animal adapts to the changing world around it\u2014artificial lights and air conditioning may allow us to alter the environment, but the changes still affect us more than we like to let on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re finding your summer busier and more compressed than you\u2019d like it to be, here are three questions that will help you sink into the season:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What new or recurring seasonal projects emerged that you hadn\u2019t planned for or didn\u2019t fully acknowledge as a project?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Which of the projects you planned in the spring can be put on hold or dropped to make space for this summer\u2019s projects?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are there any shifts to project timelines or your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.productiveflourishing.com\/time-blocking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">daily work schedule<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that would help you keep momentum on your projects while sinking into feeling of summer?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might also check out Samantha Brody\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.soundstrue.com\/store\/overcoming-overwhelm.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Overcoming Overwhelm<\/a>\u2014<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">it\u2019s a fantastic book that explains how overwhelm shows up in our bodies, hearts, and heads and what to do about it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Better to adjust <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">now<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> than spend the summer feeling like you\u2019re behind and unable to enjoy the people, nature, and energy of the season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4486 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/manyvoices.soundstrue.com\/manyvoices\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gilkey-Charlie-\u00a9LeannaRenePhotography-2019.jpg\" alt=\"Charlie Gilkey, Sounds True\" width=\"363\" height=\"242\" data-id=\"4486\"><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Charlie Gilkey is the founder of Productive Flourishing, a company that helps professional creatives, leaders, and changemakers take meaningful action on work that matters.
