Tips for Time Management and Healthy Living
Time is never a factor in life
that seems to be in many people’s favor. There might be seasons where time is
abundant, and other seasons where there does not seem to be enough hours in a
day. With a crunch on time it can lead us to comprise on things of priority,
like our health. Here are a few simple tips that can kill two birds with one
stone and help the tasks of a day feel doable.
Evaluate How You Are Spending Your Time
For the week, pay special attention to how you spend time either by mental note or keeping a daily log.
This can help evaluate your strengths and weaknesses. Ask these questions:
What am I doing well?
What can I do better?
What are unhealthy and unproductive tendencies?
What can I do better?
What are unhealthy and unproductive tendencies?
Answering these questions with
evidence to how you spent the week will help to pinpoint the needed areas of
adjustment.
Make a To Do List
Now I know this sounds tedious,
but writing everything down in one place will relieve stress. Make a to do list
for the day and leave it up to the paper to remember each task. After the list
is made, take these steps:
Organize it by priority
Delete any unnecessary tasks
Be reasonable about what you can accomplish
Try to pair tasks together (talk on the phone
while completing a mindless task)
This will help you have more of a
grip on your day and minimize last minute rushes.
Time to Yourself
Often taking time off or taking a
10-minute break can seem like a setback when in reality it can do the opposite.
If our bodies are run into the ground each day it can result in sickness or a
decrease in productivity. Here are some ideas in taking a break:
Take a walk
Do stretches in the middle of the day
Make time for a hobby
Give your body enough sleep
All of these factors can relate
back to health. When our health is put on the back burner, we end up becoming
less motivated and lack in time management. These are small ways we can
implement into our daily schedule for a healthier more organized lifestyle.
