Time is a gift all of us receive equally. Each day starts and ends in a 24-hour cycle. We all live within the same cycle of time.

If that is so then why do we sometimes feel that we have wasted precious time, while other times we feel very productive? This could be due to our perception of time – and what it does to us.

As with all gifts, the gift of time can be badly misused if we are not careful. So what can we do?

Wake Up Early – Really Early

Start with 6am, but aim for 5am ultimately. It may feel painfully early at first, but you will get so much done before 9am. By 10am you will feel that you have achieved more than half a day’s worth, while others are just jump-starting their day.

Work In Time Blocks

Tell yourself what you want to achieve that day, and then break it down to 60-minute blocks: 50 minutes of uninterrupted work and a 10-minute break. Set a timer to remind yourself to take a break after 50 minutes.

Schedule “White Space” In Your Diary

This is time for you to do nothing but be with yourself. Take notice of what you feel and think about when you are by your lonesome. Although it may feel uncomfortable at first, great sources of inspiration lies within you. Get used to you!
