Hello November! Today marks 61 days to the end of the year!
If you saw my time management posts from last week, you know that productivity or even prioritization is not the ultimate goal. The goal is to spend your time like the precious commodity that it is.
If you count up the days in November and December, you have 61 days of opportunity before the New Year. That’s 1,464 hours.
1,464 hours to make count on what is meaningful to you.
Clients often ask me how to make better use of their time. Here’s what I suggest:
Figure out what you want to do most. For example, maybe you want to celebrate Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas and/or Kwanzaa holidays without interruptions. Then back into what you can do now to get yourself there. What do you know will be lingering over your head, ready to jump out at you, if you don’t address it early?
If you can get ahead of the game, without rushing, not only will your work product be better but also your quality of life.
Again, Happy November! Hope your hours are meaningful, however you choose (or need) to spend them.
