Use your time consciously.

Are you consciously using your time, or are you just frittering it away??

Maybe through analysis paralysis.

Maybe you're the king or queen of procrastination.

I hear lots of people say, “I’ve been busy all day, but I don't know what I got done. I don't really have anything to show for it.”

It’s not uncommon for us to spend an entire day where we sleep for eight hours, then we get up, have a shower, wash our hair, clean our teeth, do all the things that we need to do in the morning, maybe exercise, get dressed, have breakfast, that's another three hours gone.

That's 50% of your day. You only have 50% left to be productive.

But productivity isn't always what it's cracked up to be.?

Lots of people go to work. Working for the man or woman, right? Doing the work in order to have one day off or two days off a week to enjoy. We work for weeks every year to have two off for a holiday?

And at the end of five years, 10 years, we turn around and go, have I actually achieved what I hope to achieve?

Have I actually made an impact or a difference in the world??

And isn't that after all, the measure of our life's success, the impact we have on others, that matter to us?

There are people who live for a hundred years and do not make the impact that someone might make in 10 years, and that's because of how they've consciously used their time.?

Are you conscious of how you use your time and travel through life?

Are you conscious about progressing and moving forward?

The things that matter most to you??

Because otherwise, you get to the end of the day, it's the evening, we make dinner, and we think, “I’m too tired to do anything else.” We begin the cycle again the next morning, and pretty soon that's a week, a month, a year, 10 years, and we're still talking about that big goal, that dream, that thing we want to do.?

Don't waste your time.

The trouble is for most of us, we think we've got more time than we do. Time is running out for all of us

Instead of chasing it, use it. Pay attention.?

Be intentional, be present, be more conscious of how you're using your time and moving through this amazing time of your life.

Go forth and be conscious.

If you want a smoother, more successful experience as a leader, you've got to start with yourself. Move away from exhaustion and overwhelm and towards your ideal lifestyle and career, with small shifts that enhance your mindset and upgrade your life.
