I'm Emily P. Freeman and welcome to the next right thing.

You're listening to episode 267.

This is a podcast about making decisions, but also about making a life.

If you struggle with decision fatigue, chronic hesitation, or if you just need a few minutes

away from the constant stream of information, and the sometimes delightful but also distracting

hum of entertainment, you're in the right place for discerning your next right thing.

Today, I'll offer some encouragement for when your life feels like one big interruption.

Listen in.

Oh, that sacred, interrupted life you're living.

How can we ever escape them?

You know, the answer is we never will.

But can we make peace with them?

I say yes.

A partial peace may be an imperfect peace, probably.

But sometimes maybe even a settled one.

This is more difficult for some of us than others, dealing with interruptions, distractions,

and unplanned plans that become urgent, that take precedence over that thing you had scheduled

to do instead.

It's one thing to learn the fine art of pivoting our schedules to serve those interruptions

when needed to make a change or a turn in order to accommodate what comes up that we didn't

expect.

And that is a difficult thing to be sure.
