Make the time.

I hate that sentence.

It assumes a lot about agency, not to mention the reader’s mental and physical abilities. The core of it is necessary to hear, though. It would be better stated as, “You must fight for enough time to devote to the things that matter.”

No one will give that time to you. It’s too valuable to them.

Last weekend, I took my son up to Door County. I knew my wife would be out of town and it was a perfect opportunity for a boys-only road trip.

I don’t know about you, but I need more of this.
