Excerpt
At most, you’re left with 8 hours in a day for everything else.
Using these hours wisely, to live a life that’s both ambitious and balanced, means aligning your time with your priorities—whether that’s getting in shape, improving your marriage, or reading more books.
This realistic guide to time management is about making the most of our hours, while avoiding overwhelm and learning to work with the constraints on your time.
Effective time management is less about cramming more tasks onto your to-do list and more about having your days reflect your deeply held values.
We need to investigate where our time goes to solve our time management problems, finding wasted hours and funneling them into worthwhile endeavours—be it socializing or sleeping.
we’re prone to overestimating how much we work and underestimating the time we spend on distractions.
Time management is about making your stated priorities line up with your actual priorities.
Instead we’re overwhelmed with options, feel a lack of focus, and inevitably experience analysis paralysis.
Pay attention to whether those priorities fall into the “work” or “life” buckets, and ensure you always have at least two in the latter—having only work priorities is a blueprint for burnout.
The goal isn’t perfection, but awareness.
The best remedy for reactivity is planning ahead. When we pause and think about our priorities before diving into the deep end of our days, we can approach our hours ahead with intention and focus.
Leave buffer room in your days for unexpected tasks
Instead, think of your daily plan as a compass, guiding you in the right direction and even if you end up a few degrees off due north.
Rather than squandering your time on the tasks you’re mediocre at or that could be completed by someone else, zero in on what you’re excellent at. Outside of those tasks, try to delegate as much as possible.
The conditions that lead to overwork aren’t entirely in your control, but there are things you can do as an individual to avoid the side effects of stress and proactively keep overwhelm and burnout at bay.
By continuously returning to time management principles and implementing strategies for finding focus and ditching distraction, we can fill our minutes, hours, and days with meaningful work and memorable life moments.
