Not Tracking or Budgeting Your TimeĪ litany of productivity experts agrees that tracking and budgeting your time is vital to taking control of your day. If you still think you can multitask, here’s why you should think about it again. You might think that you are getting more done and saving time by multitasking, but studies show we’re not the brilliant multitaskers we think we are. This suggests that time management is best conquered by having an adequate night’s sleep. ![]() Making the most of your 24 hours might not seem conducive to getting a full eight hours, but many famous prolific achievers such as Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, and Thomas Mann all had full and healthy sleep. Getting plenty of sleep also ensures you’ll be in a much more positive mood in the morning, increasing your chances of getting more work done. Studies have found that people who get an average of seven to eight hours of sleep are more productive, happier, and work at a higher quality than those who get less than seven hours of sleep a night. Getting a good night’s sleep is a simple yet brilliant way of improving your time management skills. One prime reason you find yourself constantly occupied with insufficient time to rest is that you do not get adequate sleep at night. If you don’t rise early in the day, you are most likely to complain that there is not enough time to accomplish everything you want to do. Analyze the lives of the most successful men and women, and you will find that almost every one of them starts their day early. Numerous studies have correlated waking up early with success. Waking up early gives you an advantage over people who sleep in. The modern world we live in runs largely on a 9-to-5 schedule. Reasons Why There Is Not Enough Time In The Day 1. Let’s explore the reasons why you feel a lack of time and the potential solutions that can help you clear your schedule in a day. It is not healthy if you barely have time to do simple tasks like cooking a meal or completing your daily to-do list. Most people today feel that way and constantly lament the lack of time. There’s a big difference between saying you can’t do something and saying you can’t quite do it yet.Do you feel like you’re overwhelmingly busy? Like there is not enough time in the day, and your schedule is ever growing? So, no, you may not be a skilled photographer or a top-notch writer or a masterful networker right at this moment-but, rest assured, that doesn’t mean you can’t get there. But if you commit to trying hard enough and long enough, you’ll get better.” “It’s true that you’re not good enough yet,” Godin says, “None of us are. Some things require a little more elbow grease and dedication than others. My list of personal examples goes on and on.Īs Godin reminds us, it’s not the fact that you’re not good enough or skilled enough or savvy enough to do that intimidating thing-it’s that you just can’t do it yet. ![]() But, I did just that only a few months later. When a friend asked if I’d run a 5K with her, I told her that I wasn’t capable of running three miles. However, it wasn’t long before I had built my own online writing portfolio. When I started freelancing, I beat myself over the head with the fact that I knew nothing about creating a website. I’ve done that very thing more times than I can count. ![]() If there’s something we don’t have a lot of experience with or there’s a skill that’s not currently in our repertoire, we’re all pretty quick to write ourselves off-as if it’s not a thing we were meant to do, simply because we aren’t inherently good at it. Here’s the thing: It’s easy to limit ourselves. It’s amazing how much that one three-letter word can shift your mindset, isn’t it? That’s exactly why entrepreneur and author, Seth Godin, dedicated an entire blog post to this encouraging trick. I’m not a good enough public speaker to pitch myself for keynotes… yet. I can’t become an engineer because I don’t know how to code… yet. Got it? Alright, now take that sentence and add the word “yet” to the end of it. Think of the last time you asserted that you just weren’t good at something. ![]()
