Time Management Tips – Last Year’s 3 Top Ranked Time Tips

[ad_1]

Time management tips provide contentment as well as effectiveness when you make your wisest time choices. Our readers add these three tips to the seven we published two weeks ago to create their top 10 time tips to bring into this year.

Tip #1: Enhance Your Daily Well-Being Using a Simple Ritual.

Self-care fuels success. By starting each morning with a simple yet powerful intention, you program yourself to achieve. You recognize more opportunities and initiate change as you deepen into self-care. So start keeping good records now!

• First, center yourself and relax. Stretch stiff muscles.
• Next, envision something you’d like to provide for yourself as the day progresses. Don’t limit your thinking – all possibilities are open to you, from attentiveness to zapping perfectionism.
• Write it down. Then create a simple plan to follow through.
• Check in with yourself at the close of your day. Note whether you gave yourself what you intended, and how it felt. Record any lessons into your journal. Use what you learn to build on successes and to learn from setbacks.

Time Tip #2: Deflate Perfectionism with 3 Logical Questions

Perfectionism is sour and self-critical rather than rational. The next time you tell yourself, “But it’s still not perfect,” erase that old message by seeking fresh answers to simple questions, like:

• What does “perfect” mean in this instance?
• How might a neutral onlooker describe the project at present?
• What is a balanced and effective way to complete your project?

Don’t allow unrealistic standards to eat up your day. When your work is satisfactory by objective standards, set it down with an affirmation like, “I move towards excellence, not perfection” and treat yourself to a healthy reward.

Time Tip #3: Liberate Your Time from Old Time Scripts.

This fill-in-the-blank exercise may surprise you. If you feel you are going in circles, perhaps old family scripts are interfering with your progress. So explore your history with an open mind by filling in the blanks.

1. Although my mother/father always dreamed of _____ they never took the time to do it.
2. Many years ado, I promised myself I wouldn’t spend time doing _____ the way my mother/father did.
3. My mother/father made a priority of _____ no matter what.

Consider your responses. What are the new insights? Which of your family’s time choices have you made your own? How do you use them in your daily life?

Create time choices that help you live your most meaningful life. Notice which ones you automatically embrace, and which ones require some stretching. By enriching your time choices through rituals, practical questions and exploring family scripts, you gain in versatility and confidence as you win back your time.
