I don’t have time for all this is a common phrase. Be it a school going kid or a working professional or a housewife. Everyone says this when something important remains undone. Not having time has become synonymous to being too occupied doing other important tasks which might not necessarily be useful.
Successful people have all the time in the world to become successful, and rest of the people do not have time. How’s that so?
One day is made up of 24 hours. Yet not everyone finds time. The same 24 hours are utilised productively by a few and others first have one thing to say, ‘time passed so fast’, I just didn’t realise, I don’t get time and so on. Whenever we look at people who have achieved and accomplished things in life, it’s because they do not live a fast life but rather they live a meaningful life.
Signs that you’re living too fast
- You have not read anything lately
- Your list of jobs is always pending
- You look for instant pleasure
- You have nothing to look forward to
- You always feel fatigued
- You do not appreciate the aesthetic beauty of nature
If you really want to live your life one should realise the importance of allocating time for important tasks productively and spend each minute in a meaningful way rather than hasting around and doing shoddy job. One must realise how crucial it is to manage time. It is time to relook at certain things to if things are not happening on time and you are leading a life in which you always find yourself hustling and not feeling content at the end of the day.
We come across people who live a life which is designed by them. They do not dance to the tunes of last-moment work.
Clarity exists in every pattern of their action. Moreover the balance is perfectly maintained between work and personal life.
How can one find time for hobby and relish it at the same time be great at professional work. Not just one hobby but multiple hobbies whilst excelling in career. Also lead a happy family and social life.
Yes such individuals do exist. Even you must have come across one. We call the successful, winners, great and so on. They also have just 24 hours in a day too. Neither more nor less.
Causes that make you feel you are living too fast.
- Lifestyle – 9 am to 5 pm is any typical working individual’s devoted for profession. It is true that there is limited liberty to think or work for own personal benefit during those hours. Also working for these hours should not make you feel accomplished for slogging. Are you otherwise keeping well? Do you focus on your health? Do you prioritise eating healthy and skipping junk? Do you always reach late to work? Do you follow any exercise routine? Does your house look tidy? You might have achieved well at work but you cannot ignore other areas of your life that define your true identity.
- No time management – well one can’t manage time literally you have to manage your activities and allot time to it. so that productive activity gets good attention. Make your actions worthwhile for actions define you. If you display laziness or enthusiasm towards something it becomes your personality. If you prefer dwelling into social media rather than working on your important project then you are definitely not managing your time well. Whatever you give time it grows in your life. The more time you feed to the activity the more it grows in your life. So feed the right one and kill the wasteful activities. Have clarity on your priorities along with timelines.
- Time spent with family – your family is your foundation. That’s where you belong. How well do you keep yourself involved with your family and keep them happy is the biggest challenge? What you need to do is to be flexible with family time. You can switch off your phones and other social media when you are with family. Listen to their opinions. Spend time with your parents, they too need your attention.
In conclusion, it’s not about the time you have but how well you spend your time. follow the 4D Principle here.
Do: If Its Urgent and Important
Delay: If Its Important but not Urgent
Delegate: It Its Urgent but not Important
Dump: If Its Neither Important Not Urgent
It’s the same time available with everyone. It is on you; how do you make it usable
