DID YOU KNOW?
Setting boundaries can help improve your well-being. Here are some tips:
1. Track how you spend your time. Track your time and know where you’re spending it. The simple exercise of noting what you’re doing each hour can have a huge impact.
2. Wake up 15 minutes earlier than you normally do. That equals an extra 75 minutes in your work week.
3. Make a distinction between vital, optional tasks and activities. Structure other tasks around those that are vital. Schedule your day by doing the important tasks first. This is when you are freshest and energetic.
4. Schedule Internet use. People can lose their sense of time when they are online. Schedule time and stick to it. In addition, consider logging out of email and social media accounts when focusing on tasks.
5. Keep your expectations in check. Are you trying to go to the gym, get the kids ready for school, do laundry, and walk the dog all before 9:00 a.m.? Set yourself up for success by being realistic with your time management.
6. Change your mindset. Actively change how you are thinking every time you catch yourself thinking negatively to build up your confidence over time.
7. Keep your surroundings clean and organised. By keeping things in order you’ll keep information organised in your head and minimize the possibility of losing items and having to spend time looking for them.
