But there are so many other important things in life, beyond just your job.

What if you “scheduled your joy?” as podcast creator Zak Rosen put it.

Do you need to ... go for a run? Stretch after a long day? FaceTime your mom?

Make those items just as important as your work tasks. Put them on your list!

“Call your homie. You said you were going to call them!” said Mullen, an artist and educator from Detroit, with a laugh.
