Hi, I’m Pascale Gibon. Welcome to episode 265 of The Everyday Life Balance Show. Thank you for listening.
Our topic in this episode is time management.
I am sure you will agree that time is precious. Here are some of the affirmations we use related to time itself:
"Time flies" "Time is short" "We can’t get time back!" "There is not enough time in the day." "Where has the time gone?" "I wasted so much time" "That was a waste of time" "Let’s spend valuable time together" "I value my time" Do you tell yourself sometimes: "Oh, that was a waste of my time!" How did you feel? Disappointed, and anxious because you know that time is precious.
On reflection, all of the affirmations I have just shared about time create a strong inner feeling that we need to give much consideration to how we spend our time.
How you spend your precious time is key to a qualitative and successful life.
A qualitative life concerning time is one where you feel that you spend your time well and enjoy memorable, productive and fun moments.
I am an advocate of living purposefully. When you live a more meaningful life, you become mindful and use your time efficiently.
In addition, living with purpose includes alignment with your highest ideals, what you value the most and what brings you the greatest joy.
I believe that time is well spent when you align with your highest ideals. It requires some soul searching and the awareness of your highest values.
Let me give you a couple of examples of misalignment:
If you value spending time with your family, however, 90% of your time is spent working, there is a misalignment, and you might feel discontent and resentful.
The second example is: if you value feeling energised and fit and do not seem to make time to exercise, you are out of integrity and feel demotivated, deflated and tired. The reason is that when you feel energised, you have a stronger desire to get things done.
Do you feel misaligned with your highest ideals?
Do you feel overwhelmed and stressed out because there is not enough time in the day or week to meet your personal needs? If so, I would say that making new and supportive choices matters.
Here is the process that will help you:
There are three controllable ways to create change in your life and thus refocus on your activity management:
Stop doing what doesn’t work Keep doing what works Try something new How can you apply this process to your life?
Remember that our objective is to align the way you spend your time with what matters to you the most.
Should the lack of time become a constraint in your life, what do you need to do to be in integrity with your highest ideals? In other words, what do you need to:
Stop doing Keep doing Introduce This process will help you identify what you need to do less of, more of or/and introduce so that you spend your time in a way that feels valuable and purposeful.
I hope you enjoyed this episode.
Remember, as always, now is your time to transform your life one step at a time.
Here is your action step once more:
To spend your time in a way that is very valuable to you and purposeful, what do you need to:
Stop doing Keep doing Introduce I look forward to connecting with you next Monday.
Have a fantastic week, take care and lots of love.
