We were given the gift or time during #Lockdown. Don’t let it evade you again
Follow these 10 steps and own it
Change The Way You Talk About YOUR TIME
Don’t say ‘I don’t have time,’ what they really mean is ‘It’s not a priority’”
Manage your time the way you want and own it
Make Your Downtime A Priority Just Like You Make Your Work A Priority
Put the same emphasis on your time as you do on work assignments
Use Your Calendar To Schedule Your Own Personal Activities
That means making time for you as well as appointments or assignment deadlines
Limit meetings
Choose 5 tasks for the day and just work out how and when you will achieve them
Focus
You don’t have to be a super hero. Just do one task at a time, stay in flow, don’t surf the net and don’t let you inbox rule your day by responding to emails as they arrive. Lets not also forget that putting off tough tasks, just makes thenm harder
Forget Perfectionism
“At its root, perfectionism isn’t really about a deep love of being meticulous. It’s about fear. Fear of making a mistake. Fear of disappointing others. Fear of failure. Fear of success.” Michael Law
Getting it done is good enough.
When It Comes To Taking Time Off, Done Is Better Than Perfect
There will never be the perfect time to go for that hike or take a few days off. So stop looking for the perfect time, and instead just choose a reasonable one.
Become A Morning Person, It Will Change Your Life
Just try it and you will see.
Break Bad Habits in Bed
No screens in bed, avoid sugar hits before sleeping and stop hitting the snooze button
If your work is flexible or freelance, untether yourself
Don’t be afraid to do a little work on your holiday if it means you can take a getaway you otherwise wouldn’t.
Multitasking is a Myth
It seems like a great way to get a lot done at once but research has shown that our brains are not nearly as good at handling multiple tasks as we like to think they are. We get more done by focussing on one thing at a time.
