Is there something you’ve been meaning to get to?

There’s a corner of my garden that I’ve been meaning to sort out for months.

It’s not a big job. It would probably take me an afternoon. But somehow it kept getting bumped — there was always something more urgent, something that had to happen first, and that corner just sat there quietly waiting.

Sound familiar?

I think most of us have something like that. Maybe it’s a sewing project that’s been folded up in a bag since last winter. A pile of photos you keep meaning to sort. A room that needs a good clear-out. A creative idea you haven’t let yourself sit down with yet. A bit of the garden that deserves more attention than it’s getting.

It’s not that you don’t care about it. You do — that’s the thing. You think about it. You mean to get to it. Life just keeps filling up.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, and I’ve been wondering whether setting aside a specific, regular time might be the answer. Not a class, not a programme, not a commitment — just a window in the week that belongs to the thing you’ve been putting off. A bit of time that’s genuinely yours.

I’m thinking about creating exactly that — a regular, informal session where people can show up and just do their thing, whatever that looks like for them. No agenda. No pressure. Just a bit of time set aside.

But before I do anything, I’d love to know — is this something you’d actually use?

Do you have something waiting for you? A project, a hobby, a task that keeps getting bumped?

Leave a comment below, or send me an email, I’m genuinely curious — and your answer will help me shape what this looks like.
