Science Says Healthy Scheduling Habits Make People Happier
Keep reading for FREE
Over-scheduling doesn’t work
it leads us to starve for more time to do everything we need to do. As a consequence, we begin to:
- Hate the things that we used to enjoy.
- Miss out on quality time with the most important people in our life.
- Reduce the number of opportunities that may come our way.
- Suffer from stress-related health issues.
- Miss out on the little things in life.
- Not be able to take a break and catch our breath.

Scheduling fewer tasks
People who schedule fewer tasks get more done. It forces you to prioritize what’s most important.
Also, scheduling back-to-back items in your calendar doesn’t account for the unexpected. Emergencies will always pop up and if your calendar is packed too tightly, you won’t have the flexibility to handle a crisis without completely trashing your calendar for the foreseeable future.

Say “yes” to less
Instead of accepting every invite or request for help, be more selective so that you’re not spreading yourself too thin.
The easiest way to do this is by only saying “yes” to the things that excite you or that serve a purpose.

Add buffers
Schedule free time between tasks and meetings so that you can take a break.
It also avoids hard stops because of time restrictions. Providing yourself with a little wiggle room also prevents you from running late to meetings, like if you got stuck in traffic.

Become more present
Mindfulness is all about focusing on what’s going on at this very second.
But, this could be anything that encourages you to think in the now, such as reading, exercising, doing a simple task like organizing your workspace, or calling a friend.

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!
