I sostantivi italiani più comuni – Tempo e calendario

Every year I like to make a small plan, but without stress. I choose a number of realistic goals and I write them on a sheet of paper. Then I look at the time I really have and I decide what I can do. Every day I do something small, even for a few minutes. Sometimes it is not the amount, but the consistency that matters. This way, the year goes by more easily and I feel calmer.

Today I check the time and I realize that it is already late. It happens to me once in a while, especially when I am very busy. In that moment I stop and breathe, instead of running without thinking. Then I open the calendar and I look at the month to understand what awaits me. In this period I have many things, so I must organize myself. If I calm down, I can choose better.

In April the air changes and you can already feel spring. In May I take more walks and I gladly stay outside. In June I already think about summer and the long days. In September I go back to normal rhythms and I start a new period. In October autumn arrives and I like the softer light. Each month has its own character, and I try to follow it.

This week I have an important meeting and I must prepare well. I check the date twice, because I do not want to make a mistake. I also write down the duration as a measure of time: one hour, not more. If I arrive early, I wait and I reread the notes. If I arrive with a small delay, I apologize and I start right away. In any case I want to be clear and calm.

Usually I work better in the morning and I do the harder things. In the afternoon I do lighter activities and I reply to messages. In the evening I relax, I prepare dinner, and I switch off a bit. At night I try to sleep well, because the body needs rest. Sometimes a moment is enough for me to understand that I have to slow down. Even a minute of break helps, and sometimes it matters more than a second in a hurry.

On the weekend I try not to fill everything, so I have space to breathe. If I can, I organize a short vacation, even just for two days. In summer I take longer vacations, and in winter I prefer to stay near home. Every season gives me a desire for different things: in spring I go out, and in autumn I read more. In winter I appreciate the warmth, and in summer I look for shade. In the end I understand that time is precious, in every season.

When a party arrives, I like to prepare something simple and invite a few people. I set an appointment with friends and I send a clear message. I ask the time and the place, so nobody gets confused. If someone arrives late, I do not get angry: it happens, and it is fine. The important thing is to be together and enjoy the moment. And when the party ends, I still have a nice energy.
