How to get over “I don’t have enough time” syndrome.
So yes, many of us are very busy. But here’s the thing. Everyone, that’s right, everyone has 168 hours in his or her week.
So that means what? It means that instead of “I don’t have time” what you mean to say is “It’s not a priority.” What IS the priority? I have noticed that for a lot of us things like cleaning, ‘puttering around the house’, shopping and television become priorities because we aren’t paying attention. Do you really need to watch 6 hours of television a day? Do you really need to organize your spice drawer again? Is looking at the Old Navy catalog for the nth time really that important? What if we kicked taking care of ourselves up the priority ladder? I did a time management diary for myself a year ago and I was surprised at where I was spending a lot of my time. I used that information to re-prioritize things.
I rediscovered 2 hours a day that I had lost to things like checking Facebook and watching television I didn’t actually like. And 2 hours: that adds up! 14 hours a week of potential!
