“I don’t have time”: Six ways to save time during the week

by

But the truth is (as much as it hurts), that we all have 24 hours available in the day and we can use them as we wish!

“I don’t have time, I never have time, time flies and I stay behind…”. Who hasn’t identified with these verses even once, until now? Who hasn’t looked at the clock with wonder, and hasn’t… chased the time that runs by, along with the obligations, deadlines, and all the “to-do”s that are “floating”, waiting to be done?

Er, probably few, or maybe none! Be that as it may, there are those who do 103801308 things in a day, a week, a month, a year, and make those around them wonder if they have been “gifted” a few extra hours and catch up on everything they want!

But the truth is (as much as it hurts), that we all have 24 hours available in the day and we can use them as we wish! It certainly doesn’t look like it’s simple, but there are some practical tips that can help us, not only to use them, but also to save time, without having this permanent feeling that we’re not getting anything done!

Morning awakening… early

Sure that feeling of snuggling and snuggling under the covers is nice, but it’s time for some math. By simple calculations, if instead of half an hour, we start devoting a maximum of five minutes to this habit every day, then we will have managed to save 175 minutes during the week, or 2 hours and 55 minutes! Unbelievable? Yes!

So, if we just try for a week to get out of bed earlier in the morning, we will… magically have almost 3 more hours in our pocket. At first it may seem brutal to us, but if we establish it as a habit… guess what! We will start catching up!

Shopping therapy online

Since almost all physical stores are now online, and one can find and get what they want, why not use it to their advantage to save a little more time?

Certainly, visiting a store, in the traditional way we all know, the communication and service from the staff, the possibility to try on the clothes you want before buying them, flipping through a book before simply “adding it to the basket”, do not they can be compared to simply scrolling the screen and clicking “order confirmation”.

However, when the week is quite stressful and there are a lot of things that “must be done”, online shopping therapy can really save you!

Smart meal planning

“History, sin” for many, as cooking seems to be a “headache”, and no matter how we do it, not everyone likes cooking! On the other hand, when one wants to follow a healthy lifestyle, but at the same time wants to avoid eating out, the situation seems to be difficult.

One way that can work in our favor in the long journey to saving time is the monthly Fitness Meals, which come to your place. In this way, you can intelligently plan the meals you will consume during the month, saving both time and calories, as they are all calculated!

If, on the other hand, you are also good at cooking and enjoy the process of preparing your food, but you feel that you don’t have time to do as much as you would like, the secret lies in preparing your meals from the weekend.

You can schedule to spend, say, 2 hours cooking two or three main meals, such as chicken, burgers and pulses, and divide up your portions for the week.

Also, in order to have a variety, you can keep some chicken aside, making it the main ingredient for a rich, hearty salad, adding your favorite vegetables, as well as pasta!

Social media, but with a schedule

A painful story perhaps, as how many times have you not caught yourself lost in the screen of your mobile for half an hour, when originally you only wanted for 5 minutes? Probably many, which is why an additional feature has been added to the settings of some applications, where you can determine in advance the time you will stay in them.

Another thing you can do is to close the notifications from the respective applications that “eat up” more of your time, and often distract you, effectively determining the moment you open them to check messages and whatever newer exists.

In this particular case, it’s probably best to avoid the extra math, since the numbers from the results of the time one can get away with social media, might be quite disappointing…

Better organization

An organized, clean, and orderly space certainly offers peace of mind, but… guess what! He can also put in his little stone so that you have a little more time for all those important things you want to catch up on! How;

How nice is it to rush out of the house without scrambling for documents, keys, or even shoes at the last minute? Very! And here comes the issue of well organizing your things and objects in the space, so that you can always immediately find whatever you need, without worrying about your time! From shopping for the supermarket, to the activities and obligations you have during the week, the lists will never betray you!

Whether you prefer a sheet of paper, or an agenda, or a notebook-diary, keep notes with the things you have in mind to do, and keep them reverently, with as few postponements as possible, thus managing to have more time, but and less stress and worry about if and how you’ll catch up!

Last, but not least… the list
