It’s so great to be surrounded by the things I am passionate about every day. Life is SO much better and truly fulfilling when you are able to say you are spending time on what you love with all your heart.</span></span></div> <b id="docs-internal-guid-98afadc9-5a28-ae00-2731-4c4a890e946d" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 4pt; margin-top: 4pt;"> <span style="color: #444444;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I have an exercise for you to try so you can figure out if you are spending time on the things you love, too! Here it is:</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span></span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 4pt; margin-top: 4pt; text-align: center;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444;">Spending Time Calculating Exercise</span></span></div> <ol style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 4pt;"> <span style="color: #444444;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Keep track of how you spend your time for a week in hours. This sounds a little excessive, but it will really put how you are spending your time into perspective and is totally worth it. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span></span></div> </li> <li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="color: #444444;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Categorize and add everything up at the end of the week, including who you spent your time with. For example: </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span></span></div> <blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"> <span style="color: #444444;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Reading : 2 hours (alone)</span></span></blockquote> <blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"> <span style="color: #444444;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Working Out: 6 hours (alone)</span></span></blockquote> <blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"> <span style="color: #444444;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Eating: 10 hours (7 hours with family members, 2 hours with friends, 1 hour alone)</span></span></blockquote> <span style="color: #444444;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></span></li> <li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 4pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444;">The results may surprise you. Ask yourself if these were the results you were looking for or expecting. If not, think about the things and people you love and consider how you can incorporate them into your daily life more often. It will make such a difference!</span></span></div> </li> </ol> <div> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 4pt; margin-top: 4pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444;">If you are spending the majority of your time doing the things you love with the people you love, awesome! If not, it might be time re-think some of the weekly commitments you make. Doing things you aren’t passionate about can wear you out more and reduce your excitement for life. I believe we have been created to live to the fullest, so take charge and start spending time on the things that help you live a fulfilling life. </span></span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 4pt; margin-top: 4pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 4pt; margin-top: 4pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444;">I want to hear about your results!

It’s All Yours - Learning How to Manage Time

" /></a></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #999999;">Balancing all the aspects of life to manage time can be challenging. But the cool thing is, your time is all yours! If you just thought to yourself “no it’s not” or “but…” then this blog post is for you! Now, I understand there are some things that happen that you can’t control, but you still get a choice in the time you spend responding to those things. I hope you that you can understand the power you have to manage time by using these simple tips:</span></span></div> <b id="docs-internal-guid-5e2ce6eb-0b44-8547-8fdd-d225b00b2162" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <ul style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #999999;">Use a Planner: It is essential to use a planner to manage time. You will be far less likely to forget about a commitment or accidentally double book. It’s also good to make sure you have a little extra time that is unassigned to prevent getting worn out.</span></span></div> </li> </ul> <b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <ul style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #999999;">Make Lists: Sometimes, a list is all you need to manage time more efficiently. Make sure to prioritize the tasks on your list from most urgent to least urgent. It’s great to track what you have done to get that sense of accomplishment - so cross things off when they are completed! Don’t forget to spend some time looking over and adjusting your tasks every morning so your mind is refreshed and inspired by your goals. If your goals don’t inspire you, maybe it’s time change them.</span></span></div> </li> </ul> <b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <ul style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #999999;">Give Yourself Time Limits and Buffers: Manage time by making little goals throughout the day, like getting half of your list done by 2pm, or a time goal for a particular task. Make sure to give yourself a little cushion of time in between tasks to account for snack breaks, driving, coffee breaks or other daily activities that may take a little extra time.</span></span></div> </li> </ul> <b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <ul style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #999999;">Take Breaks: It is important to be able to take little breaks during the day to avoid stress and wearing out. It’s best to manage time by making sure you can actually enjoy it!</span></span></div> </li> </ul> <b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <ul style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #999999;">Stay Healthy: The healthier you are, the better you feel. Being motivated to get your tasks done is much easier when you have slept enough, properly exercised and have eaten healthy foods. This will take a little extra time but it is totally worth it!</span></span></div> </li> </ul> <b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <ul style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #999999;">Learn to say no: Sometimes, you just have to say no. Don’t be afraid to no in order to manage time better for your life. I can’t stress this enough - to manage time for yourself, say no when you have to!</span></span></div> </li> </ul> <b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <ul style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #999999;">Leave Time for Fun: Don’t forget to have fun! Plan a day at the pool with the family, or devote an evening to taking a bath and reading a good book. It’s difficult to manage time when none of it is spent specifically on you, so indulge!</span></span></div> </li> </ul> <b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #999999;">I will leave you with some wise and thoughtful words about time:</span></span></div> <b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #999999;">“Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson and Albert Einstein.” H.
