There are moments in life that we absolutely cannot find the time to progress at one thing or another.
There are moments where we fail to realize that by tweaking one small thing in our day to day will make a world of a difference.
There are moments where we let others dictate how our day, week, month or year for that matter will go.
We also have moments where we feel like we are on a hamster wheel but someone else is spinning it and therefore keeping us running.
Other times, the writing is on the wall clear as day for what needs to be done, but we keep painting over it hoping the problem will just go away or simply solve itself.
Between family, me time, the business, friends, collogues, children, spouses and so on, we just can’t seem to get a handle on our lives. When we do get a handle on things, it’s not for long.
In order for us to improve our lives, time must be managed. We cannot improve what we are not willing to face.
Time management is not just about a schedule or minutes and hours. It is unique to everyone. It is about not only how you manage your time, but how you manage yourself.
Managing yourself is the best thing you can do. Sure, it’s easy to point the blame at other things and people in your life. However, the reality is, it is you who’s responsible for your time, effort, boundaries, outcomes, overwhelm and stress.
Speaking of boundaries, humans are so bad at this. Why? Some boundaries may hurt someone feelings or offend them. Others may upset people and make you feel like you are the bad guy for setting them.
Boundaries must be set in order for your life to flow on a level that pleases you. Not saying that life will be easy once boundaries are set, but life will be more enjoyable because it will have structure.
Setting boundaries with your time allows room for more of what you like and love. For example: Have a day for your family and leave out the gadgets. Social media and email will be fine for a day. Some of those who will try to reach you may be a little irritated when they really want to speak to you, but they will soon accept it because they have no choice.
This may be hard to do for some, but if you really are on a journey to improve your life and interactions, you must set boundaries with yourself and your time.
Discipline in this area of your life is what will help you grow and thrive more than ever before.
You can do this!
