How to Stop Wasting Time

 Hey guys! How are you? 

Today I am going to be talking about how to stop.wasting.time. 

            I know...broad topic. But here's my favorite tips and tricks [soon].

Time is in demand, these days! (well, it's always been in demand, but...) 

Time is one of those things you can never get back again, it's the most often forgotten values in life. Time is beautiful. Time is one ofthe most easily regretted, untraceable things on earth. 

    So, all of that to say: Time is important, don't waste it. 

Here is a few beautiful quotes about lost time to inspire you to keep saving it! 

     "You may delay, but time will not, and lost time is never found again."-Benjamin Franklin

"Time flies over us, but leaves it's shadow behind."-Nathaniel Hawthorne

               

                 "Lost wealth may be replaced by industry, lost knowledge by study, lost health by temperance or medicine, but lost time is gone forever"-Samuel Smiles

Lost time is always lost. So take advantage of the time you have and stop wasting it!

Here are some tips on how to save your time: 

    1) Prioritize your day. This can be time blocking, to do lists, etc. I recommend writing in a daily, weekly, and even monthly planner. 

    2) Monitor the time you spend. How much? and on what? Is it worth it? Important? What can you do to keep yourself from spending precious time on unimportant things. This might mean setting time limits on your phone/computer or setting timers for completing certain things (e.g. doing the laundry.) 

    3) Make a detailed meal plan. It can be exhausting and take a really long time to figure out what groceries you have, what meals you could make, and didn't I already have something with ground turkey earlier this week? 

    4) Set Break timers. Instead of just taking random breaks throughout the day, work for like two hours and then take a 10 minute break to stretch your legs, get a snack, anything. This really prioritizes your time and makes you more efficient. I started doing this recently and it's really helpful. When it's break time I quick tidy my room and refill my water, get a snack and back to school! 

    5) Get a goodnight's sleep. This might not seem as obvious, but trust me! 

    6) Create a distraction free zone. Somewhere where you can focus on your work.

    7) Create goals for your personal, and for your work/school life. This also helps you prioritize!

 

That's all for now, I hope these helped! Enjoy, and if you have any time saving actions you would like to share, feel free to comment below!
