How to make time for everything without getting stressed

P.S These are simple practices, but it needs to be deliberately practiced and intented (Plus written down) if you actually want to make time for everything.

You might feel it’s a lot of work, but it’s also a lot of fun. When you make time for this, you are actually making time to work on yourself.

Even as you make time to read this article in full, you are making time to work on yourself.

So without further delay, lets start.

1. Shift your mindset

First things First- What I want you to do first is first shift your mindset.

And here are some mindset shifts I want you to have before you start trying to make time for everything.

• If you keep waiting to find time for the things you want to do, you will always be waiting for the rest of your life.If you keep waiting when your ‘other tasks’ will finish so you can read, exercise or have that ‘me-time’, you will never have it.

  You have to deliberately create and make time for it, and schedule it!!

• Done is better than perfect. Something done is better than nothing done, so be kind when you can’t do it all.
• Even 10 minutes of making time is worth it/
• Patience is a virtue to cultivate.

2.Make a list of what you want to make time for

Next, if you want to make time for everything, you have to first get clear on what you mean by ‘everything’.

What is it that you wish to do in your day?

For me when I was just starting out, I would be highly optimistic thinking I would do it all, and write a long list of things I wanted to do in my day.

But the truth is, you can only do so much in your 24 hours, and there will always be many things that come up unexpectedly in your day. And you also need to make time for yourself.

Nevertheless you may make a list of everything you want to do in your ideal day.

If you want to include new habits you want to make time for, include it in your list, but only start with one new habit at a time and follow the next step.

3. Make a quarterly, Monthly and weekly plan

Like I said, there is only so much you can do in your day, but if you simply do a little bit of planning, there are many things you will be able to do in your months and in your weeks.

Here, a quarterly, monthly and a weekly plan comes in handy.

Quarterly Plan

3 months is a perfect amount of time to focus on one thing at a time, or at most 3 things at a time.

At the start of the year I always divide my year into 4 quarters and set down 1-3 things I want to focus on in each quarter.

I have come to know that a LOT can happen in 3 months with just a simple focus and planning.

You can do the same. If there are many good habits you want to start this year, focus on just 1-2 habits or areas of focus for that one quarter.

Say to yourself, that no matter how many times you fall (which is obvious that you will) get back at it again for that quarter.

When you’ve finally learned to make time for it, you can then move on to another in the next quarter.
