Lately I have been thinking a lot about time. More specifically, how to manage it.
I am not gonna lie, time management is not my strong suit. I spend way too much time behind the computer/iPad/iPhone & way too little time getting out and enjoying life. It’s not cool, but it’s the truth, & the last thing I want is to be 50 years old w/ regrets about how I used my time.
Being a blogger, time management is a neverending struggle. You work for yourself, so structure goes right out the window. That can be a major problem as many people thrive off of structure/can’t function without it. Personally, I don’t do well with structure… at least not in the traditional 9-5 sense.
I love working my own hours and am very lucky I get to do so, but it also definitely has it’s downsides. You often times wake up too late, get to your desk too late, the day goes by too fast, you missed the prime time light hours so you didn’t get to photograph your #OOTD, the grocery store trip didn’t happen so dinner is a fail, & you end up not going to sleep till the wee hours because you slept in too late and aren’t tired.
Rinse, repeat.
It’s a nasty lil’ time-wasting cycle that I’ve unfortunately gotten sucked into & now it’s time to break that b*tch once and for all. I’m officially taking a vow to you guys (hold me to it!!) to actively train myself to better balance my life and manage my time. I plan to start waking up earlier, taking daily walks, going to bed at more reasonable times, separating my life from my work, & just start enjoying the small stuff.
The above quote pretty much sums it all up… I’m going to guard my time, be generous with it, but also be intentional with it.
Any tips on time management for the self-employed?? Please, do tell!!
