You have to be ready to focus and set the time aside to do the things you will never do otherwise.

• Exercise.
• Read.
• See friends.
• Time with family who do not live close by.
• Travel.
• Cook elaborate meals.
• See national parks and historic sites.
• Learn new things: a language, skill, sport, or hobby.
• Try something different.
• Volunteer to make the community around you even better.
• Write thank you notes.
• Date night.

Make a plan and set the time on your calendar, once a day, once a week, each month or at least once a year. In fact, plan all of these things and create the blocks of time needed for them to happen. You will not regret it one little bit.
