The most common thing we hear anymore! No one has "time." Time is an interesting thing. It's finite and can't be replenished. Once it's gone, then it's gone.
It's also one of the most mismanaged things.
Take a look at how you spend your time each day. Are you maximizing it? Are you wasting it?
Challenge yourself for one week. Log how you spend your time every hour (or half hour) of the day. Review at the end of the week and evaluate.
Did you spend two or three hours watching TV every night?
Did you stay up too late each night?
Did you sleep until the last possible minute every morning which resulted in being "rushed" out the door?
Did you hit snooze every morning when the alarm went off?
If you answer yes to any of these, then you may have a bad habit or two.
If you answer no to all of these - then you may need to look at priorities or if you have overextended yourself into burnout - which is a possibility.
Can you wake up thirty minutes earlier each day to "give yourself" a few extra hours in the week?
It's all about how you use your time.
A few time management strategies to try:
- Prioritize
- Have a daily plan - use a planner or a calendar app
- Block out distractions
- Focus
- Set goals
- Set boundaries
- Create routines
Do you struggle with time management or time to fit in positive and healthy habits?
