How to find more Hours in your day. February 22, 2011

So many of us, including me, say “There is just not enough Hours in the day to get everything done”. You feel anxious or rushed and at times even too difficult to actually enjoy your day.

Finding balance in your life is different for everyone but also very important. I am working on trying to find balance in my life so that I can have more time with my family and still feel like I am geting everything done I need to. I totally enjoy everything I do so by prioritizing and organizing my day, week and even my month in advance I have more control over my life and feel more balanced.

Here are a few tips on how to hopefully find more balance and more hours in your day, and mine too.

1. Make a plan. Sit down and spend some time writing out all the things you do and put them in order of importance. You should do this at least once a month but you can do it more if you need too. At the first of each week sit down and write out all the things you have to do. When you see them in writing you are better able to get everything done.

2. Have a family meeting. Sit down with everyone and discuss where you need help and what everyone else has going on. By including your family you make it important to them and they are more likely to help. Each child can have age appropriate chores to do to help with the balance.

3. Eliminate what is not working. This is the hardest part for me because, as I said, I love everything I do, but you really have to look at your life and see where you need to make changes or delegate or even eliminate. It can be hard at first but once you get into the habit of writing things down, having your family help and making the changes you need to make you will find more time and balance in your life.

I am writing this because I need to find more balance in my life and in doing so more time to spend with my family and friends.

I hope you enjoy this information and it can help you in some way. Let me know. Enjoy your day.
