Have you ever felt like twenty-four hours in a day is not enough? We used to feel that way all the time. It always seems like we have so much to do, but not enough time to do it. It’s like we blink and the day is over, leaving us wondering where all the time went.
But the thing is, we actually have more time than we think! We need to sleep, that’s a given, but after that, we have sixteen whole hours to make the most of. That’s a lot of time if we use it wisely.
Well, we’ve found that starting with a good morning routine sets the tone for the day. We try waking up a bit earlier than usual, stretching or doing some yoga, having a good breakfast, and mentally preparing for the day ahead. It may sound like a lot, but trust us, it’s worth it.
We’ve also found that prioritizing tasks helps us to make the most of our day. Instead of tackling a bunch of small tasks, focus on the bigger ones that need to be done. Not only will it make you feel accomplished, but it will also leave you with more free time to do the things you actually love to do.
Another tip is to schedule your day. For us, it doesn’t mean we need to stick to a strict routine, but having a general idea of what we need to accomplish and when, helps us stay on track. And let’s be real, we all love crossing things off a to-do list.
Finally, we take breaks when needed. We know it’s tempting to power through and get everything done, but it’s important to give yourself some downtime too. Take a walk, read a book, listen to a podcast, call a friend or, yes you guessed it, write in your journal. Whatever it is that helps us relax, we make sure to make time for it.
We know it’s easier said than done, but these small changes in our daily routine have helped us make the most of our day. And remember, everyone’s day looks different. So don’t compare yourself to others and don’t stress if things don’t always go as planned.
So let’s take advantage of the sixteen hours we have each day and make the most of it. See how we’re prioritizing sleep? That’s how important it is. Enjoy your day!
