The things you are doing every day

Try your new life for one week to see in practice what works for you, and then make appropriate changes.
It might take you a couple of weeks to clear the clutter from your life, testing what activities should go, stay, be delegated, or better organized.

Run a test week

Think about your life. What is really important to you? How would you like to live your life?Write down the things that are truly important to you, the things that ten years from now will make you proud.Keep the list between 3 - 5 items.

Take a break

<ul><li>Some “urgent” activities will just need to go. Maybe you can wait until later after all to check your picture on Facebook.</li><li>Some “urgent” activities will need to be delegated. Your assistant, if you have one, could actually pay that bill. </li><li>Some others will be better organized. You could actually make a batch of lunches every Sunday and Wednesday.</li></ul>

Cut down on the urgent stuff

<ul><li>Put in your schedule activities that match your priorities. Make sure they are feasible. For example, if you feel you still don’t have enough time to go to the gym for an hour, then don’t put that in your schedule.</li><li>Start by doing something that is in the vicinity of where you are but in the direction of where you want to go. For example, if 20-30 minutes of daily exercise is your plan for a better health, but you are currently at point zero, then start with 5 minutes.</li></ul>

Add the important stuff

"It's not enough to be busy; so are the ants. The question is: what are we busy about?" ~Henry David Thoreau About a month ago I decided to add more at-home exercise to my schedule.
