I Hear You

My life cannot implement in action the demands of all the people to whom my heart responds.

'Quietly powerful and a great help. Glorious' Emma Thompson 'Women need solitude in order to find again the true essence of themselves.' First published in 1955 and an instant bestseller, Gift from the Sea is a classic, wise book for women about how to flourish in life, how to balance life, work, motherhood; about finding space to think and breathe. Holidaying by the sea, and taking inspiration from the shells she finds on the seashore, Anne Morrow Lindbergh meditates on youth and age, love and marriage, peace, solitude and contentment. Her insights - into aspects of the modern world that threaten to overwhelm us, the complications of technology, the ever multiplying commitments that take us from our families - are as relevant today as they ever were, perhaps even more so. By recording her thoughts during a brief escape from everyday demands, Anne Morrow Lindbergh helps readers find a space for contemplation and creativity within their own lives.

How did it get so late so soon?It’s night before it’s afternoon.December is here before it’s June.My goodness how time has flewn.How did it get so late so soon?

We tend to overvalue money and undervalue time. This makes us constantly fail to realize the tradeoffs we make between the two.

Understand the value of time

Start here. Which do you value more – time or money? There is no wrong answer, and your response can change over time.But research shows that people who value time are happier, healthier, and more productive.

Which do you value?

Six traps make us "time poor" with too many things to do and not enough time to do them:<ol><li>Technology and the interruptions that fragment our time</li><li>Money/work focus "I'll work hard now for leisure later" (spoiler: later never comes)</li><li>Undervaluing time</li><li>Busyness as status</li><li>Aversion to idleness</li><li>Saying "yes" because we believe there will be more time later</li></ol>

Traps that steal our time

<ol><li>Address why - Do not do things simply to kill time.</li><li>Allow slack time - Leave time for spontaneity.</li><li>Know your calendar mindset - Is it time to move on to the next event or do events shape the schedule?</li><li>Create intentions - Make action statements like “I will use my commute to listen to audiobooks.”</li><li>Rewards & punishments - Reward if things go well. Penalize if they don't.</li><li>Engineer defaults - Automatically dismiss distractions like email and notifications.</li><li>Fight urgency - Schedule or delegate tasks that are not urgent and important.</li><li>Make leisure leisurely - Appreciate time you gained even if it cost you.</li></ol>

Strategies to prioritize your time

Try these ideas to buy more time:<ul><li>Outsource tasks</li><li>Do less comparison shopping</li><li>Don't waste time for savings (e.g. driving 10 miles to save 10¢ on gas).</li></ul>

Tips to save time

Active leisure involves things like volunteering, socializing, and exercising. Passive leisure includes activities like watching TV, napping, or online shopping.Active leisure promotes greater happiness than passive leisure. Spend your leisure time being active!
