Make room for what matters most—with intention and grace.

We live in a world that praises hustle and glorifies busy.
But deep down, we all crave something more: peace, presence, and purpose.

That’s why creating margin isn’t just a productivity hack—it’s a way of life. It’s how we make space to hear from God, care for ourselves, and show up fully for what truly matters.

If you’ve been feeling stretched too thin or like you’re living in survival mode, these five simple shifts can help you begin creating margin—right where you are.

1. Audit Your Commitments

Start by taking inventory:
➤ What’s on your plate right now?
➤ Which commitments feel life-giving—and which ones feel draining?

Be honest. Not everything “good” is good for you in this season. Ask God to show you what needs to stay and what can be laid down. Saying no to the wrong things makes room for the right things.

2. Build in White Space on Your Calendar

Margin doesn’t happen by accident—it happens when we plan for it.

Try this:
Block out at least 30 minutes a day on your calendar that isn’t pre-assigned. Use that time to breathe, pray, read, take a walk, or simply be.

Even small windows of unstructured time can restore your soul and help you reset.

3. Simplify Your Routines

From meal planning to morning habits, simpler is better.

Ask:
➤ Where am I overcomplicating things?
➤ How can I reduce decision fatigue?

Whether it’s creating themed dinner nights or automating your errands, simplifying the “everyday stuff” frees up energy for what matters most. (Need help with this? Check out our Weekly Meal Plan Guide!)

4. Protect Your Evenings

Your evening routine sets the tone for your next day. Creating margin before bed helps your mind and body unwind.

Try these small shifts:

• Set a consistent bedtime
• Power down electronics at least 1 hour before sleep
• Reflect on 3 things you’re grateful for (our iBloom Gratitude Journal is perfect for this!)
• Release the day to God and rest well

Margin starts with rest—and rest is holy.

5. Ask: What Can Only I Do?

This simple question creates powerful clarity. You don’t have to do everything—but you are called to do the things only you can do.

Delegate where possible.
Delay what isn’t urgent.
Delete what’s no longer aligned.

Then pour your energy into your God-given priorities: your calling, your family, your health, your faith.
