Why making time for yourself is important
The society we are living at the present often looked upon of as being selfish or unproductive. Well it of course has reasons because you have a job to do, family to take care, kids to look after, social activities to involve with, and so on those keep you busy and if you are not doing that you may lose the balance of life. Yes balance of life most of the time make us un-balanced and that is why we need to have time for ourselves. The truth is that without self-care, you are not giving a fighting chance to give your best to each aspect of your life.
Ways to make time for yourself
"Me Time" actually makes us more productive, helps to minimize stress, and strengthens our relationships. And everyone needs to have more time to spend with themselves to remove the noise from their mind and get rid of all disturbances. Simplifying your life can create extra time in your day and make you more comfortable with your living.
1. Do work timely
Whatever task you are involved with just do them timely that was already scheduled. This is the simplest thing you can do but most of us make it difficult. If something is scheduled and you know it, just do not procrastinate and start everything on time. If you procrastinate you will end up eating your time for nothing and stress out for everything.
2. Learn to delegate
There are things some people or organization can do for you. It can be simple but important task, however, they can do it conveniently for you and you can save a lot of time. At the beginning it maybe hard for you to delegate tasks and some job you might need to pay some amount of money. But you will find the way soon how convenient it is to buy someones time for your task and save your time for yourself.
3. Just say no
I have been always positive with saying no and encouraging my audience to do this more without hurting people. When you do not find any value or you are packed with your schedule it is always better to say no and keep going with your goal. Just cut the activities that is chaotic, do not bring any value, and stress you out mentally and physically. Saying no is the most effective method of gaining time and energy.
4. Prioritize your tasks
First thing first and prioritize your tasks and do them accordingly. Maintain a clear and organized schedule that will keep your mind at ease and do everything comfortably. Do not mess up with your schedule and just say no to anything on your way that may interrupt or delegate tasks by its importance.
5. Relax fully
Most people find it hard and when they relax they spend hours to make them comfortable. Relax fully but never let your body and mind in complete rest for long period of time than the usual. Just make sure you get enough time to do that with a satisfaction.
6. Shop online
We all need to shop and if you do it online than the window shopping, I bet, you will be able to save your time and energy. You can virtually anything and everything and more importantly they are available 24/7. By managing your time you just can buy anything online and save your precious time for the important things that you need to physically move.
7. Find value
Before doing anything find value and if you find no value, just don't do. Discover your passion and what you really like to do, what makes you a real you. You are more than just a person and think before any actions that what kind of value it may bring in your life.
8. Do things in advance
There are a lot of things you can do in advance without waiting for the D-day. Suppose you want to travel far away or closer and if you wait for the day and buy or book stuff, you may need to pay more or won't be able to travel at all. Buy tickets and book your hotels in advance so that you can save the time for the day you are traveling.
9. Go for internet banking
Technology made us comfortable with everything including banking. You do not need to go to the bank anymore unless you must need to go. Pay bills, buy things through internet banking and it takes only a minute to set them up.
10. Reflect and reconnect
You must need to reflect of your hobbies and passions and reconnect them with your activities. Sometimes we lose the momentum and it can push us back, however, if you reflect your actions and reconnect them to the reality you will be able to find the true you and find your passion again.
