Take time for life
Escape the daily
hustle and bustle and make space for things that are important. It
makes sense to divide your days well and listening to your inner clock is
significant.
Here are a few tips that should help you escape the stressful daily grind
Rising career, an expensive car and thousands of emails, is this the success we seek and desire? Does life get better the more we work? No, because we need hours of enjoying ourselves, skin and hair.
"No", learn to say
To create space for yourself, saying "no" is the best method, so you can take care of important things. Saying no is also meant in a figurative sense and not only in a literal sense. This means in plain language, avoiding appointments as much as possible, refusing tasks and not even taking in information. If you think no, then you also say no!
Do without the car more often
Doctors advise people who are under a lot of stress and tend to get hectic to take a fifteen-minute walk every day. Being aware of your surroundings, walking comfortably and taking a deep breath is good for you. In this way, simple activities become a piece of your own time, an additional break. Unfortunately, however, very few people are able to do this, because studies show that the speed at which we normally walk has increased by ten percent in the last ten years.
Organise your life
Get rid of ballast, whether mental or material. Get your thoughts and tasks in order, declutter your brain, because getting bogged down is a time robber. Make sure you don't load yourself with too many roles ; no one can be a caring daughter, ten-time friend, manager, mother, carer and housewife all at the same time. Most load too many tasks on their shoulders, resulting in overload.
Be attentive
Listen to the music of nature, look at the plants at the edge of the path,
feel the wind, specifically perceive the here and now. Those who are mindful of themselves and the environment enjoy their free time and live more consciously. The moment is important because it is the measure of life.
Use your strengths and banish perfectionism
What are you particularly good at, what skills and knowledge do you have? Test it and take on mostly tasks where you can use your strengths. There is little point in doing things that overtax us from the beginning and cause us a lot of trouble. This eats up a lot of time in our professional and private lives.
We will never do everything right , it doesn't work. Don't make too many demands on yourself. Someone who always wants to be perfect will never finish and come to rest. He is constantly stressed.
What is urgent - is not always important
Learn to distinguish the important from the urgent. Urgent may be the full e-mail programme, the need to communicate of the colleague or even the weeds in front of the house. In all likelihood, however, these are not important, but rather the visit to the cinema with your partner or dinner with the family.
Often we take care of something quickly but leave important things in the drawer. It is advisable to make fixed appointments for important things at and then stick to them.
If you know exactly what you want and don't get bogged down by trivialities , you will save valuable time for nice things.
Living with your inner clock
Many people get up between 6 and 8 in the morning. We are particularly efficient between 10 a.m. and 12 noon. The body then takes a break from around 12 to 3 pm. For recreational sports, the time between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. is a good time. Most people's deep sleep is between 11 pm and 1 am. But this is the average, not everyone works like this. You have to know your own inner clock and respect it. If you organise your day accordingly, you will get more out of your free time.
Find the right pace
Probably every person has something like an "internal cruise control". For actions that we do over and over again, the consumption of time is always the same. Note how long it takes you to iron , how long it takes you to prepare breakfast and how long it takes you to check the mail . Then plan the day at your own pace and you won't exhaust your energy.

Learn to hand in and plan sensibly
Use the skills of others too. Why paint the flat yourself if you are not at all suited for it? Maybe a friend can do it better? If your colleague is better at sorting files, then let him do it. Help with tasks in which you are strong.
As a general rule, you should only allocate 50 per cent of your time per day. The rest is left for everyday stuff and as a time buffer
