I have made a list here of all the things to look at deleting from your life that are wasting time - and hope that you can claim back some time to do the more exciting things on your TO DO list!!!
Things to delete to make time for you:-
- People who bring you down, who you don't feel uplifted by after speaking to.
- Tasks that you do but are not necessary (if noone notices, are they worth doing?)
- Tasks that are not getting your one step closer to your goals
- Tasks that you could delegate to others (a professional or a willing helper!)
- Lengthy meetings or conversations - set a specific agenda and say what time you have free
- Waiting in queues - plan your day as much as possible so things are done in quiet times (do you really have to drive in rush hour?, can you shop late or early rather than at lunch time when its busier?)
- Making time for going to the bank - Move to online banking
- Paying bills as they come in - pay by direct debit instead
- Junk mail and sales calls
- Answering the phone to unknown callers - if they need you they will leave a message - why interrupt your train of thought when it may not be important
- Checking email and social media sites regularly - set a specific time to do this once a day
- Being reactive about errands - be proactive instead and try and group errands so you only go to specific places once a week rather than several trips
- Food shopping on foot - online is much quicker (and saves temptation of buying items you don't need)
- Wasted time on TV - work out how much time watching a soap opera takes out of each week - what could you be doing instead!
- Things you feel you should do rather than things that you want to do
- saying YES too much - overgiving will suck your time away - learn to say NO as well.
