Saw and decided to share.........
Do you feel like you race in circles all day,
but see few results from your actions at the
end of the day?
Do you find yourself repeating over and over,
"I would really love to go to the gym but, I
just don’t have time" or, "I’d be so happy if I
could finish this or that project I started so
long ago but, I just don’t know how to fit it
into my schedule?"
Breathe a sigh of relief because and use
these simple tips to create the time you need
to finish up those little projects you've
postponed for a long time.
1. Grab a journal, a blank piece of
paper, or open up a blank
document in your computer and
write at the top of the page “My
five top life priorities.” Then
choose the main five areas that
are important in your life, or
choose from the following areas:
Health (emotional, physical,
mental, spiritual) family, children,
friends, community, mate,
finances, aging parent,
volunteering, work, religion, fun,
hobbies
2. Next, I want you to choose the
five top activities you do during
the day. For example, if you have
16 hours of waking time then
choose those activities that take
most of your time during the day:
Working, watching TV, grooming
and personal hygiene, personal
calls and emails, social media
(Facebook, Twitter and the like),
Internet, commuting, fun, children/
grandchildren, health related
visits, church, community
3. The last step is to evaluate
whether your daily activities
support your life priorities and
decide if you need to make
adjustments.
Now that you have a clear idea of your
priorities and daily activities, you will be able
to make a better use of your time by
following these tips:
Make sure that you are spending time
on things that matter the most to
you so at the end of the day you
have no regrets.
Create a weekly schedule with the
projects you must complete before the
week ends.
Every night, take a few minutes to
write a to-do list for the following
day.
Choose three must-do activities that
will help you accomplish every project.
Schedule personal time to get
refreshed and reenergized.
Review how much you accomplished and
what needs to be rolled over the
next day's to-do list.
Always acknowledge how far you've
come and reward yourself for your
achievements!
