Time Management Is Everything in Life - Here's Why

     Time is a limited commodity pertaining to anything and everything we do.  Theoretically, we have 24 hours per day to do anything we want.  Realistically, A person’s usual schedule involves 5-8 hours of sleep, 8 hours of work, and 8 hours of doing whatever they want to do.  Usually, we enjoy taking a break from our everyday tasks by relaxing during this 8 hour period.  It is important to recharge after a long day’s work.  However, people become accustomed to their routines so much so that making a change can seem harder than it actually is.  Instead of relaxing and doing whatever they want, the person is having to step out of their comfort zone and allocate time to a new task.  Because time is such a precious resource, using it on tasks that do not provide immediate happiness can cause stress, anger, and a lack of motivation to continue.  However, thinking long term, using our time to work towards something beneficial is how we achieve, prosper, and create a schedule involving less time working and more time relaxing.
     People share similar mindsets of wanting something but being unwilling to put in the time to get it.  It involves allocating time from relaxation into something which could involve hard work, unpleasantness, and exhaustion.  The fact of the matter is, however, if you want to achieve something, then you have to put in the time, even if it can cause unpleasantness.  We are instinctually wired to maximize pleasure and minimize pain, but we are also intelligent enough to know pain can lead to pleasure.  Most of us know this but are still hesitant to make the change due to their comfortability with their current routine.
     In the end, it all comes down to time management.  We need to ask ourselves what the best use of our time is and whether or not we are happy with our time allocation.  If the answer is no, then it is time for a change.  Stop talking and start acting.  Take an hour out of your relaxation time to work on making a change.  This will ease you into the new routine, allowing you to adapt and get used to the change.  Eventually, it will become the new norm.  Personally, this blog was created and maintained with the same mindset.  I eased into the change of writing every week until it became habitual.  I now make time to write it every week without even thinking about relaxation.  To me, it is just something I have to do and enjoy doing.  Think of something you would like to accomplish and do just that, ease and adapt.  You will thank yourself later.  Make time to live the life you want.

How Communication Can Repair & Strengthen Relationships

      Communication is the key to success in all aspects of life.  We often assume people know how we are feeling, but this is not the case.  Nobody truly understands how you are feeling unless you tell them.  To quote Eleanor Roosevelt, “You wouldn’t worry so much about what others think of you if you realize how seldom they do.”  The Importance of Communication      Without communication, we tend to overthink, overreact, and become emotional.   We lack answers so we make them up in our heads.   Small problems become big problems real quick, and we may lash out at the other person.   If you don’t know what’s going on in the other person’s head, how can you expect to understand their way of thinking?        When we communicate, we learn from the other person’s perspective.   Instead of using our own perception to justify something, we learn the real reason behind someone’s actions, ...

Life Advice Blog #21 - Relaxation

     Relaxation is just as important as working hard.  People tend to work themselves to the bone in order to achieve their goals.  Everyone needs to do this once in a while.  However, constantly working this way can lead to fatigue, ultimately leading to the person giving up on what they set out to do.  This is why there has to be a balance between hard work and relaxation.  Working hard all of the time will lead to failure due to fatigue.  Constantly relaxing leads to laziness, meaning nothing will be accomplished.  By balancing hard work and relaxation, a person is able to accomplish their goals while also maintaining the motivation to do so.      Nobody should think that relaxing is a waist of time.  Relaxing is the best way to regain the strength and motivation to work hard.  Without relaxation, success would be much more difficult to obtain, because people would lose the motivation to push forward....

Finding Your Creativity - 5 Methods

     Creativity is an invaluable resource and the backbone to human progression.   Every advancement made throughout human history was the result of someone’s creative and intellectual mind.   Planes, trains, and automobiles are great examples.   However, creativity is not used solely for the progression of mankind.   Creativity can also be used in an individual’s everyday life to make life easier and more enjoyable.   People use their creativity to solve problems, make their daily routine more efficient and less time consuming, as well as for entertainment purposes.   If you have ever made up a story in your head while bored you know what I am talking about, or if you played with action figures, inanimate objects, or roleplaying games.      As kids, we seem to have a limitless supply of creativity.   Much of that has to do with our curiosity, innocence, and lack of responsibility.   However, some ‘grow up’ a...
