Turn your Values into Time
To call something a distraction you need to know what it is distracting you from, to differentiate between traction and distraction you have to plan ahead.
When planning your calendar make sure it reflects your values so you can become the person you aspire to be.
A framework which you can use to schedule a balanced life is the three life domains: you, relationships and work. Plan your day to spend time within each domain according to your values.
Scheduling isn't easy, hence why you'll need to revise and refine your schedule regularly. Despite that, you must commit to it once it's set.
