With life, family, friends, work, rest, fun and everything else going on how do you find time to workout, prep your food, rest and get everything else done?
Here are some tips I use when trying to keep my hectic life organized:
How to create a highly effective schedule
1 Consider getting a gmail account and creating a
Google calendar or using your phone with all your emails/calendars synced. This way, you can access it from anywhere, and it will serve
you very well during your busiest times. Whatever you decide for calendars,
be sure to have ONE central calendar to track your events and time.
The calendar should include all of your tasks
for the day, hour by hour (or in smaller increments i.e. 15 minutes)
3 Make a list of categories that need to be on
your calendar. Assign a color to each category. Here are some suggestions:
·
Work
·
Family commitments
·
Household commitments (i.e. cutting the lawn,
cooking, cleaning . . .)
·
Workouts & other recreation/sports
commitments
·
Driving time
·
Fun things
·
Time to get organized for the coming day or week
·
Time for basic needs (sleeping, eating,
showering . . .)
4 Put the commitments into your calendar. If they
do not all fit, realize that you may have to be creative and work on
prioritizing. For example eating breakfast and cooking lunch may have to
co-exist. Eating lunch and catching up with your friends is a great way to accomplish multiple things at once.
5 If you need help setting up your calendar,
fitting in your commitments, or finding time to study, ask for help. If you find that your schedule is not working,
re-evaluate it and revise it.
My Thursday Plan:
-Protein/water, apple
-celery/peanut butter
-salad bar
-Olive oil mayo egg salad with pickles, celery and tuna
-turkey chili for Thursday night Football
I don't think a workout will be on my agenda which is fine because Friday, Saturday and Sunday I will get great ones in.
Good night and have a great Thursday!
