We all know that time is of the essence and we are taught we should use it wisely. The truth is time is something we will never get back so why waste it? Free your time and the rest will follow!
Take these steps to savor your precious time:
- Determine your greatest distractions. A distraction can be anything or combination of things that prevent us from giving our full attention. Usually we are distracted by ourselves and probably the most prevalent of them all….TECHNOLOGY. Take time to unplug, detach, and decompress. This is essentially about time management and living your life……Do you really care what The Real Housewives are doing?
- Priorities. What are your daily, weekly and monthly items on your “to do” list? Do you even have a list? If not, consider creating one. Write these out and plug them into a time slot within your calendar. Whether it is daily weekly or monthly assign your priority a day and time.
- Events. Are there events that you attend? Your child’s sporting activities, school presentations, birthday parties or professional sporting events etc. Slot these onto the calendar.
- Spare time. Do you have any? Once it’s all said and done is there any time left in your day, week or month for you. If not please refer to #1, distractions. Assign a time to disconnect from all technology. This will allow you free time to read, write or even just relax.
Remember that time waits for no one and time is also money. Be very particular on what you do with your time and who you spend it with.
By carefully organizing your days it will seem as though none of your time has been wasted.
