Do you find that your days just disappear?
You wake up, do the million things you want and need to do and before you know it, your tucking yourself into bed. Sound familiar?
With curiosity getting the better of me, I’m currently having a few self-experiments, to see where all my precious minutes are going.
With each discovery I’ve found a little trick to gain back a grasp on time, become more present and lead a productive life. These actionable steps will help you to understand what I mean.
Try them for yourself and see!
THE INTERNET will drag you in and not let you go for hours! Don’t get me wrong it’s amazing for many things, but finding yourself scrolling through unnecessary pages, is where we can gain back some time.
ACTIONABLE STEP…
Next time your in a queue waiting for the cashier to serve you, try NOT to pick up your phone, scan the room and become aware of what’s going on around you. You’ll be amazed at how often you aimlessly scroll. Boom! You’ve just gained 5 minutes back of your life!
LIVING IN THE FUTURE massively takes us away from living in the moment and gives a sense of loosing time.
The next time you feel like time is moving too quickly, give this a go. I’ve been doing this at total random times and it almost feels like time pauses or even stops sometimes! I even ‘zone in’ whilst I’m walking somewhere. You don’t always have to be still!
It takes a few practices to get the hang of it but it’s worth it. This is probably my favourite step of them all!
ACTIONABLE STEP…
Through this tiny moment you’ll feel grounded, focused and back on track. Success!
SUPERMARKETS can completely distract us from what we originally went in for, always throwing big red sale signs in front of our faces, leading us to browse pointless s**t!
ACTIONABLE STEPS…
I’ve recently been using Paprika Recipe Manager, which enables you to input all your ingredients and it adds it all up for you. Check it out!
Is your KITCHEN TIME taking over your life a little too much?
ACTIONABLE STEPS…
WAKING UP EARLY, now this is a little tricky for some! Everyone’s bodies are different so we all have slightly different sleeping requirements to optimise our bodies, minds and even digestive system, so we can make the most of our time the next day.
Over sleeping can usually leave us feeling even more tired and eats into our days.
ACTIONABLE STEP…
Our bodies have an inner clock that is synced to environmental factors around us. The suns light releases a hormone in our bodies called Cortisol, which naturally wakes us up. Let the light do it for you!
Before you know it you’ll be a glowing, efficient, early bird superhuman!
These have worked a treat for me and to be honest I notice more than ever now! Like watching how impatient people hate queues, how much uglier but healthier farmers market food is and how much easier it is to get out of bed in the morning!
Let me know how they work for you =)
Onwards and upwards,
Laura
