The last thing we want to hear is we should have a daily schedule. We feel our entire lives are booked. Most of the scheduling is not our doing. We need to take power back by managing our daily agenda. We need to be the creators of our daily schedules. Yes, the majority of our weekdays will include a full-time job. That is no excuse to ignore the other 80 hours. Let’s give ourselves 8 hours of sleep each weekday. That leaves us with 40 hours to schedule what we need to do. Not what we want to do at the time which is nothing productive way too often. We’ll still have two days for that. We’ll need to identify the required tasks and knock out the fluff later. Having a daily schedule does not mean your entire day needs to be full, but the benefit of knowing when your free time occurs can be the difference between completing crucial tasks and forgetting those same tasks.
We tend to complain about not having enough time to do what we want. The truth is we have ample time. We have enough time to do what we want to do twice. The issue is our time management sucks. We feel we have all the time in the world until we have no time left. Our mindset regarding time is flawed. We know how to tell time but struggle with how to use that information. Let’s say we want to create a plan for something we’d like to do in the immediate future. Instead of setting aside an hour each day for the week after we decide we want to do it, we sit on the couch for 2 hours each night. We may sit on our phones or roam the internet instead of watching TV. Why? It is not that we don’t want what we just stated we’d like to accomplish. It is because it’s not on our schedule. Consciously postponing our desires is harder than unconsciously doing so. Placing your desires into your daily schedule makes you have to choose to leave them undone.
Once we add our desires to our daily schedules, we’ll have a supreme piece of information. We’ll know how serious we are about our wish. If we can purposefully decline to work towards an aspiration we believe we want, there is no reason to leave it as a goal. It isn’t as important to us as we thought it was. Tasks we desire to accomplish will be completed at an astonishing rate. We’ll see that the issue was not time but the use of it. The problem most of us have is not giving our desire the attention it deserves. If our jobs or others’ issues make our daily agenda, we need to see to it goals that can free us of those jobs and give more time to help others makes it.
In closing, it is time to infuse important assignments into our lives. We wake up each day with more time than ideas to use it. How much would we accomplish if we filled in some of our open calendars with tasks that can get us into a better position in life? That is an answer all who are reading this should seek. It is understandable we shun scheduling our free time because we feel we deserve unplanned, unscripted time. The sacrifice of trading wasted time for production is a trade that we should make every day. Keep your weekends open at the start. It will give you the feeling of freedom you need, but soon after experiencing the immense progress, the weekends will include vital tasks, also. Remember the trade you should make every day. Respect yourself and your desires. The time is there. We need to learn how to use it.
Food for thought. You do the dishes!
