We all have the exact same 24 Hours per day, a person whose runing around desperately to complete various tasks alloted to him and also a person whose just sitting relaxing on a bench in a garden. But to most us it seems insufficient.We often cram as much into our day as we can and juggle more than one task at a time.
Don't we always say :
- I JUST DON’T HAVE ENOUGH TIME!
- SPARE ME , DONT HAVE TIME FOR THIS!
- CANT FIT IN A WORKOUT SCHEDULE, WILL TRY NEXT WEEK/MONTH/YEAR.
- DONT HAVE TIME FOR HOBBIES.
If there was an extra hour every day, what would you do with it?
My List would include :-
- Cooking hot and healthy meals thrice a day,
- Working out for four days a week,
- Start Reading a new book and complete a chapter at least a day,
- Spend more time with my family,
- Learn a new musical instrument
- Take that photography tutorial and
- Visit a wild life sanctuary.
And more things that I have missed just because too much emphasis was placed on my office work, family and various other activities were neglected for several years.We sacrifice self care, passion projects, and time with loved ones in the hopes of just keeping our head above water with our work, and what we find ourselves with is burn out, resentment, and a life that’s nowhere near as dreamy as we want it to be.
Don't you feel we should get out of this vicious circle ?
Thats when I decided, enough is enough and asked myself " If there was an extra hour every day, what would you do with it?"
Dont worry thats a separate issue , where will it come from?
So here my question to you guys? List out things you would like to do " If there was an extra hour every day, what would you do with it?"
If you had an extra hour each day, what would you do with it? How would you spend it? You have to be honest and list out the things you would like to do.
Once you have the list ready , then I want you guys take a look into your daily commitments and see where can that one hour come from.
"where's there's a will there's a way"
Yes, if you decide then you can take out time for whatever you like. Maybe you need to put systems in place to help you streamline daily tasks, maybe it’s time to start saying no to the things that no longer serve you, or maybe you just need to be more productive so you waste less time throughout the day.
Its a win win situation, this exercise will allow you to so whatever you love and be be more efficient at work.
" Sometimes we just have to give up something that isn’t serving us, to make space for the thing that will"
When we tell ourselves we’re too busy, we’re holding ourselves back from finding the time in our schedule that’s just ready and waiting to be utilised. Maybe you’re a side hustler and you want that extra hour to work on your business, or maybe you’re a freelancer who wants more time for self care and less time for getting lost in the hustle; whatever it is, give yourself permission to prioritise what it is you need right now.
