Remove One Commitment at Your Monthly Practice Review
Whenyou plan the next month
Review the commitments competing with your chosen practice. End, reduce or renegotiate one optional commitment that no longer earns its place. Follow through on any notice you owe.
Why it works
Clear’s 2019 review describes learning to prune commitments. Maintaining a practice can require editing what surrounds it.
Start tiny
Circle one commitment to reconsider.
What you’ll notice
Your practice has space in the month you actually live.
When it slips
Everything feels untouchable? Reduce one optional commitment before trying to remove it.
