It seems that people are now busier than ever — despite all of our modern conveniences and gadgets. These four ideas will help you to use time even better than you do now.
Time Management Idea #1: Hold Space for Solutions
The funny thing about time is, that the more you angst over there not being enough of it, the busier and more disorganized you will become. The Law of Attraction teaches us that when we focus on finding solutions with a light heart — instead of dwelling on the problem — our path is made clearer.
Time Management Idea #2: Take Yourself Off Auto-Pilot
No one likes to talk about it, but the truth is that, the older we get, the more important it becomes to take care of ourselves. But how do we make time for extra self-care protocols — freshly-prepared meals, exercise, meditation, quality time with our friends and family — when we already feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day? In order to find the answer that will work best for you, you’ll need to take yourself off “auto-pilot” for a while, and look at your day — and how you spend your own time from minute to minute — objectively.
Time Management Idea #3: Seek Individualized Answers
In our peculiar, hustle-and-bustle culture, so many of us feel time-constrained and yet no one solution is perfect for every person. Each person’s situation is unique, and each time-management solution must be tailored to fit. Sometimes we need to think differently in order to find creative answers for taking care of ourselves and getting things done!
Time Management Idea #4: Track Your Physical Energy
In order to learn ways to use your time even more efficiently and increase your personal and professional productivity, you’ll need to begin to pay very close attention to your physical energy:
- Notice throughout the day, when you’re energy is higher, and when it is lower.
- What foods increase your energy… and which foods seem to drain you?
- Is your energy naturally higher in the morning, or the evening?
- Do you get energized by being around people, or do you recharge your batteries by spending time in solitude?

If I had an extra hour of free time I think I would try to find time to paint. I have been missing it terribly but have a hard time fitting it in. My creative process is a big part of my self care and I know I am suffering without it.
Great stuff my friend. The key is application. Considering the fare tonight at Partners Trust Beverly Hills is Tacos and Tequila as a bonding vehicle for the troops, perhaps next time we have a fresh juice bar.
If you were given an extra hour of free time each day, what would you do with it? And when would you take it?
