โIโve not got time to do thatโ
When people have said to me they donโt have time I know itโs not an excuse and the reasons will be genuine (Work, Family, kids etc)
I know this because the problem is never how much time they haveโฆ itโs how they prioritise their time.
Now thatโs not to say going to the gym or going for a run should be prioritised over your kids or work (as tempting as it might be)
Itโs how you prioritise your free timeโฆ
For example; if your someone who scrolls on their phone every morning for 15 minutes (more like 30) if you stopped doing that youโd save minimum 1 hour 45 minutes a weekโฆ
Or If you watch one episode of your favourite show every night before bed (which is probably two episodes) you could save anywhere from 7-14 hours a weekโฆ
Now these are just two small examples and this isnโt to say things need to be sacrificed and given up, itโs to say that in most cases itโs not about having no time itโs about finding the time.
Below are some of my favourite ways to find more time โฌ๏ธ
1๏ธโฃ - Plan
Organise and plan each day in advance, what time youโll wake up, how long youโll exercise for, what youโre eating and when, what time youโll go to bed etc
โFail to prepare, prepare to failโ
2๏ธโฃ - Routine
When possible, do the same things everyday, eat, work, exercise, sleep all at the same time to create rhythm for your mind and body.
3๏ธโฃ - Multitask
Combine things together to save time elsewhere.
Example 1 = Walk whilst on your lunch break to save time in the evening.
Example 2 = Cook using a slow cooker (meals prepped whilst having free time to complete other tasks)
Ultimately how you choose to spend your free time comes down you.. but next time you sit down to scroll aimlessly on your phone for an hour reading nonsense like this on instagram, ask yourself; could I be doing something more productive?
