The Best Life Management Tips

• I do think I’m obsessed with planning but without it, I would not be able to fit so much into my day. Planning and learning to plan well has been something I have spent a lot of time learning and developing. Each time I tweak something it is because I have learnt something new to help me in my journey.
• I have a limited amount of attention for anything I am doing. There is no way that I can even hope to complete a major task in one go, I have to break it down or there is little hope it will ever get finished. This is the same with tasks around the home or whilst I work, the maximum focus is just 15 minutes and I know this is bad but it is the way my brain works. My way round this is to have timed tasks, dusting is ten minutes max and I set my timer for 15 minutes so I know when my next break is due.
• Use your time wisely, knowing how long you need to travel for the school pick up is important, you know when you need to leave your home. Planning your schedule and using the time in a manner that is beneficial to you is important.
• Procrastination is not a pretty word and while it is difficult to imagine it taking over your life, you can learn habits to not tackle tasks, to make excuses and it is difficult to get back on the right track. Finding out why it is happening is a good idea, I find that it tries to sneak in when I am afraid or overwhelmed. I have to sit there and address these feelings otherwise I just can’t find the motivation I need to move forward.
• Sleep is important, without it, you will find some parts of your life difficult to manage. I have a tendency to work late into the evening, which is when my brain is active, but it doesn’t work well if I get up early. I am training myself to get the right amount of sleep.
• Time to relax and to exercise is important, your mind and body both need this time to step back and to process things that happen in your life. For me I need to exercise my body as my job is very limited physically, yet my husband has a very physical job and he still needs to relax and unwind but he needs to use his mind to unwind. It depends on what you do as to the amount and type of relaxing that is important to you.
• Multi-tasking results in numerous tasks partly finished and no time or energy to clean up the resulting chaos. No matter what people tell you, the most important thing to remember is multi-tasking doesn’t save time and often you end up doing things wrong. It is better to have the full focus for the task in-hand and complete it before moving on to the next item.
• Deadlines keep you focused, you don’t want to continually move your deadlines, flexibility is good but sticking to a plan and getting things done will make you feel so much better about where you are going in life.
• Seasons change and so do we, if something stops working, then don’t keep expecting it to come back to life, move on and find a new way of tackling tasks. Step back and see what isn’t working and make plans to adjust how you get the desired results.
• Things happen, that is a part of life, have space in your day where you can absorb these distractions and life events is important to include in your daily planning. There is nothing worse than sitting up all night trying to catch up with work after a family emergency.
• Always look back to see what has worked in the past. This is a great indicator of what the future holds. You can plan your tasks better knowing the best action from experience, rather than just ploughing forward without taking into consideration past experiences.
• Don’t brush things off that you are not able to do, think of them as experiences and tasks that you have yet to learn. You might need expert help in the beginning but with time you will grow in strength and confidence in those areas too.
• Reward yourself for progress, this is the most important aspect that you need to take seriously. It is with rewards for a job well-done that adds those good feelings to your memory, that you can look back on and help get you through your current struggles.
