Currently it is quite a challenge to carry out all the activities I have to do. Sometimes I feel that the days go by very fast and to tell the truth, in more than one opposition I have failed to do something I had planned. However, I have learned that everything has its time, we just have to be quite disciplined so that no activity is left undone.
One of the things I have set myself in order to successfully complete the work I have scheduled is to be realistic when creating my itinerary. There are many things I would love to do, but taking into account that time is very valuable, it is necessary to establish priorities and, based on these, draw up the agenda. It is necessary to reduce the time we invest in some activities in order to balance them and do as much as we can.
A few years ago I realized that my life was chaotic, and when I wrote down my activities in an agenda I realized that I was demanding too much of myself. I was working in two schools, helping out at a non-profit volunteer work, running a small business selling body creams and taking care of the house. When I saw my life on a schedule I realized I had no time for myself. The truth is that I was very tired and always wanted to sleep.
At that time I decided to reduce the time I spent at work, so I retired from one of the schools, this represented a decrease in my income but it allowed me to reorganize my schedule. I continued with the small business, the work in a school and of course my participation as a volunteer in a non-profit educational activity. However, I was still very tired.
Upon doing an honest self-examination, I realized that I was not taking the necessary time to rest at night. It turns out that I was going to bed late to watch TV, I thought that since TV was relaxing, that was my well-deserved time to distract myself a bit. True, I was distracted by watching movies, however, this took time away from me since I was staying up too long, so I took action and started going to bed earlier. I must admit that it was not easy to create this habit, in fact, sometimes I relapse, but in most cases it has been a good technique.
Nowadays I lead a quieter life, several years ago I retired from the school I had stayed at and started working on my own. It is a great advantage to work this way, however, it requires a lot of discipline to do things on time and not end up being victims of our own negligence. I make an effort to do things on time, that is, I try to stick to a realistic schedule, I reduced the time I spend watching TV, I go to bed early and better yet, I have decided to take one day at a time to save myself the anxieties generated by thinking about tomorrow.
Friends, it is not easy to fit everything in, but the effort is well worth it. It is a matter of good organization and discipline.
