Declutter Your Schedule, Part 2

In my last post I shared two tips for creating space in your busy day. Here are the next two.

1. Don't overload your schedule.

 

Many of us think we're Bionic and capable of charging through the world's longest to-do list. Rather, take a step back, sniff the roses and re-assess. Do you really need to do it all? Give yourself a reasonable amount of time for work, to do the things all responsible adults must do and then give yourself time to play. Without guilt.

 

2. If you add something, you must subtract something.

 

If you make this a rule it could revolutionize your life. Just like budgeting your income, you need to realise there is only so much time to spend.

 

I recommend reviewing your schedule at least yearly. However, if you're like me, quarterly is not too often. I suspect you'll be pleased with the results of decluttering your schedule on a regular basis

 

Practice awareness and see what shifts in your life.
