4 Things You Shouldn’t Do To Have More Time.
One of the biggest complaints that I see on a daily basis is, “I don’t have time to do this or that.” Here’s the problem with most of these claims. Fact is, most people do have the time to do these things. Fact is, that if you don’t have time to do essential things like: spend time with family, cook dinner, workout, then you’re probably doing to much of something else.
Don’t try to Multitask – This is something that a lot of people don’t seem to get. Why businesses put an emphasis on this, I have no idea. You’d think those educated people would have more sense, but I guess not. Truth is, Multitasking doesn’t work. In fact, when you try to multitask, you’re actually cutting down on your Quality Production.
Trust me, I know from experience. If you’re trying to write a blog post for example and you’ve got Facebook open, you’re going to get distracted. Now all of a sudden that 10 minute blog post, turned into a 30 minute blog post. Then by the end of the day, you don’t feel like you’ve got much done. Focus on one thing at a time.
Don’t Sit for Too Long – Instead of spending hours away reading that Novel or watching TV, try cutting back on your hours. Limit TV and Novel reading for one hour. At least for a little while. Do this for a week and you’ll be surprised how much more time you have.
Don’t forget to Cook when you can – Here is another issue that people claim they don’t have time for. Cooking. If you have time to cook three nights a week, then try cooking extra. It doesn’t take that much longer to cook an extra meal or two. Throw in an extra box of Spaghetti, an extra scoop of rice and two cans of beans, an extra box of Macaroni, or even cook a few extra Eggs and put them in a plastic container for Breakfast. Don’t forget the sausage.
It’s a lot easier than people think to cook real food. On top of that, you save a trip to McDonald’s or Burger King, which is bad for your health anyway. You’re even more than likely saving some extra cash by buying in bulk so you can cook those extra meals. Nothing says you can’t have variety and extra at the same time. Mix it up.
Don’t wait until the last Minute – This should be a common sense thing, but it has to be said. Far to often, people will 10 – 15 things to do and wait until the end of the day to go to the Bank. Knowing that most Banks close at 4pm? Does that make sense? I mean, shouldn’t you do the Banking business first? That way while you’re at the Bank, you can make sure you have the required funds for shopping? People need to prioritize their list. Do the time sensitive things first. Pay the Bills, go to the Bank, make that Delivery. Then do your shopping and running around that you need.
There you have it, 4 Things You Shouldn’t Do To Have More Time. I’m sure you can probably come up with some other things, let me know in the comments below. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve spent too long writing and editing this post. I’m off to do something for an hour. It’s time to be more productive and have more time for other things.
I am guilty of doing these things. I also have a tendency to procrastinate when I don't understand or something tends to be too hard. I am working on it; I recognize my weaknesses and will be adamantly working on them.
