Have you ever felt like you just didn’t have enough time in the day to get everything done? Of course you have! We ALL feel this way at times. On this week’s podcast show, Leah and Jen share with you some tips on how to manage your time so that you can make the most of your life and get the things done that YOU want to do.

No matter how you slice it, there are never going to be more than 24 hours in a day. So, begin charting y our day out by writing down what it is that you need to do and what it is that you want to do. This way you have a map of the items that you can now create a scheduled time for.

Next, create blocks of time for each of the items and then put it into your calendar or day timer, and treat it as a scheduled event. Include everything from exercising, meeting with friends, going to the grocery store. Once it is in your calendar, treat it the same way you would as a doctor’s appointment or a business meeting.

Another critical factor for effective time management is Trashing Tolerations. Get rid of all the outstanding items that are zapping your time and energy. Once you get rid of those items, you will have more time to do what you want to do.

Finally, start planning your day the night before. Remember when you were a kid and at night your mom made you lay out the clothes you were going to wear the next day? This was an easy way to save you time the next morning. Well, it also works for adults when planning their time. This way, when you wake up in the morning, you will have a general idea of the things you need to do and you won’t be overwhelmed by it all.

Remember, your time it precious. It is something you never get back. So make the investment in managing your time and making the most of it.
