Don't Waste Your Time

There are 168 hours in a week. Have you ever sat and wrote out what you do with your life? Could you be devoting more time to a goal? We sleep about 56 hours per night, that's roughly 33% of our time. If you have a typical 40 hour 9 to 5, that will take up 24% of your time. After that, you have about 111 hours per week left. How do you spend them? How can you better maximize your time? If you have any goals, could you afford to devote more time to them? Instead of listening to the radio or watching tv while you work, couldn't you listen to an audiobook on a subject you're interested in? Instead of crashing in the bed as soon as you get home, could you clear out that junk drawer you've been meaning to get to for months? Couldn't you listen to positive affirmations while you sleep with your SleepPhones? If you like to socialize with friends, could you also be networking when you're bar hopping?

I make a conscious effort to not waste my time. I am super organized and visual so of course I had to make a spreadsheet of how I spent my time on an average week. Once I saw on paper what I was doing with time, I made changes. I am so much more productive and so many of my dreams have been fulfilled. If you feel like your life is going around in circles, try this and make a commitment to devote more time to your dreams and goals.
