I don't really have a problem with my time. I am rarely late for appointments and I'm actually pretty good with my time. I get to where I'm supposed to be before or exactly at the time that I'm supposed to be there. What I want is to be able to plan my day.
I want to do soooooo many things! I just don't have enough time to do all of them. I started thinking about how I spend my time on a regular day and realized that even though I accomplish all the things that I have to do everyday, I waste so much time doing things that I don't have to do.
Okay one example is I take at least 10 bathroom breaks just to check my hair or freshen up. That takes a lot of time if you add it all up. 5-6 minutes per break x 10 = an hour!!!
So what I should do is plan my days ahead. That's easier said than done I know but I believe it's worth a try.
People should know what their time is worth. So let's say you get paid 12 bucks an hour, and you waste 2 hours a day, that's $24 dollars a day that you're wasting. Multiply it by 5 (days of the week that you work) and then by 4 (weeks of the month that you work). That's $480 dollars worth of your time!
I'm giving out tips to help people who maybe are thinking of the same thing. KNOW WHAT YOUR TIME IS WORTH! That's the first thing.
Then make use of those wasted hours and do something more productive. Do something that will really benefit you.
I know routine can be boring for some but once you get used to a certain routine, it makes life so much easier. You get to do more things, less stress I believe, and you'll find that you get more time to relax too.
Now the real challenge is how to get myself to plan my days. I need to condition my mind to do this.
Ideas anyone?
You are right, people are loosing their time and time is money, but we are not machines. We need brakes and just sit back and watch to nowhere.
One thing is to manage to work more a day, but other thing is to do your work productively. It was settled that if you work less hours, and get more free time, your work productivity is better. So maybe people should not be paid by hours, but by productivity of their work, even if I know it is not always easy. For example in one company they work 4 days in a week, they have as much money as they were working 5 days, but they do more than people in company with 5 work days.
