How to Microdose Your 'Me Time'
When you're overloaded with work/parenting/caring/domestic admin/stuff to faff around with on your phone, it's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that every second is accounted for.
- Spending time doing whatever you want will help you get everything else done; that it's not selfish, but actually practical.
- Set aside 20 minutes each morning for yourself.
Try to do nothing. It is rewarding, to just do nothing for a short while at least.

Doing Nothing Is Okay
- Take a break if it’s something you enjoy.
- Work is not the only thing we do in life - taking a break gives us our humanity.
- Don't worry whether you’re wasting time or using it well, just enjoy it.
- Set your alarm half an hour before your kids wake so you can sit and read or listen to music without interrupting them.

Make A Plan And Stick To It
- If you don’t schedule those 20 minutes, it will take effort and willpower to try to make it happen, and finding that time will become a hassle.
- To make it work, you’ll need to schedule your entire day.
- Do not wait until the alarm goes off to decide what to do.
- Prepare what you'll need the night before.
- A schedule is a visual representation of how much time you have every day.

If You Are Struggling, Work Out What Is Stopping You
- Take five minutes and ask yourself why you struggle to make time for yourself.
- Is it because you don't set healthy boundaries or are afraid of being alone with your thoughts?
- Taking care of mental health can improve time management and improve your mental health, a two-way street.
- Prioritize your needs, whether it's a run, white space or sitting down with a blank sheet of paper to write down your ideas and be creative.

Treat Time Like Cash, Not Credit
- When you have cash in your hand, you can count it, it's quantifiable. But you can't see or feel time, or put a real value on it.
- Because time is invisible, we have a hard time accounting for it. We always think there's going to be more time in the future, but there isn't.
- If it's something that you enjoy, it is time well spent

Solitude: Be In Aloneness
- Solitude is a lovely word. It means being alone but not lonely.
- Simple things like listening to music or looking at art can be just as important as meditation.
- Some people find solitude very rewarding and enjoyable, while others are not looking for it.
- Don't be alone, just be in a positive aloneness for a while and see how a blossoming happens.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.
“
Ashley Anthony
This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
