Rework and revamp!

Rework and revamp!

Consider the hours between getting home from work and going to bed. How are you currently using those hours? Is it the best use of your time or could those hours be used more effectively? Rework your time by saying no to low-value tasks and yes to high-value tasks.?

For years,?I would get home from work, turn on the TV and watch while cooking and eating dinner, then lie around still glued to the box, fade fast, fall asleep and later peel myself off the lounge and drag myself to bed. Although I was?with?others during this nightly ritual, I wasn’t?connecting?with anyone.?

After realising I was wasting four hours each night on TV and missing out on quality activities, I decided to turn the TV off for good. The four hours I saved every day has amounted to 1,460 hours a year and given me back a total of 14,600 hours over the first ten years! The time I reworked enabled me to include high-value tasks in my life, such as exercise, hobbies, reading and learning, connecting with my family, romance, as well as fun with friends. High-value activities contribute to better relationships, family life, friendships, health, personal development and wealth.?

What low-value tasks are you willing to turn off, say no to, delete or delegate? Saying no to low-value tasks allows us to say yes to high-value tasks. The first step is to decide which is which. The second is to act on those decisions and be disciplined about it.?

British statesman Lord Chesterfield once said, “Take care of the minutes and the hours will take care of themselves.”?

Before saying, “I don’t have time”?—??choose to rework your time. That way, the only thing you won’t have time for is low-value tasks!


P.S. What would Joy do?

Take care of your minutes.

P.P.S. And get?in touch?—?I’d love to have a?conversation about how I can help you put all this into action so you have an incredibly?rewarding life!?
