The advantages of managing time well are so vast and many. Sometimes it requires setting the alarm a little early or staying up a bit late, but not very often if you are consistent with your time management. Chores are no one's best friend, but if done with energy at the beginning of the day, the rest of the day is free. This is also true for exercise, which I consider a chore. I know others many not consider it a chore, but for me, anything that requires effort that is unpleasant or hard, is a chore. I don't mind working hard on things if I know I can accomplish what needs to be done and then be free for the day.
If you struggle with prioritizing your life into manageable segments here are some strategies:
~Make lists
~Prioritize all chores on list
~Chunk out the work
~Complete hard work first
~Be sure to write down the fun things you want to do
~Be happy with 80% sometimes
~Move things to tomorrow if only if you will feel 'free' in doing so
When I say, 'move things to tomorrow only if you feel 'free' in doing so,' here is what I mean:
Many people put off work until the next day and then it piles up on them. It is an easy pattern to fall into. However, it feels terrible and stresses us out! The freedom that comes with work completion is like no other. It feels surprisingly amazing. If you have some work on your list and you are considering putting it off until tomorrow, think about your insides for a minute. Do you get a little anxiety when you consider putting it off? Are you dreading it terribly? Then I say, do it now and get it off your plate. It is bugging you and stressing you and you can only feel better by doing it now!
Don't be stressed, my friend. Do what needs to be done and then have fun!
Take Good Care Today!
