You're always on the go. How can you manage your time and personal development?

Time management is an illusion We all have 24h/day It's all about energy management 3 daily activities to keep going: 1- Eliminate energy drainers (junk/low fat food, negative thoughts/people, news) 2- Soak up the energy boosters ( diet, exercise, people who believe in you, books, celebrate wins, reflect on lessons, quality moments with loved ones) 3- Manage your emotions - see setbacks as opportunities - it's not about a stumble, it's about the comeback - become the person your goals demand Successful people do things despite the circumstances Unsuccessful people don't do things because of circumstances

If you're always on the go, it's critical to reflect on your life's purpose. Our fast-paced society and ever-evolving technology demand our constant attention, but we should pause and ask ourselves: what is it that we truly desire? Sometimes it's good to take a break from the routine and wander without a destination. By stepping outside of our comfort zone, we can assess where we stand and gain newfound perspective. Seeking the advice of a therapist, life coach, or trusted friend can also help us reflect on our situation and consider new possibilities. Remember, while routines can be beneficial, they can also limit our creativity and joy. Embrace the unknown and discover what truly makes you happy.

We all have 24 hours per day, but the real question is - what do you do with the time you do have available? Sometimes it requires replacement, such as: - replace Netflix with books or podcasts - replace scrolling through social media with quality time with people that matter to you Sometimes waking up just 15 min earlier every morning can make a huge difference. It's already 1h 15min based on 5 days and can help you either get something done or simply read or exercise. You do you!

You're always on the go - do you plan too much, or are all of these things essential? Analyse your current situation and see which things you can let go off. What do you do with your time available? Where can you be more efficient?

For me personal development is a continuous journey that needs continuous nurturing. I highly recommend to block off time on a weekly or monthly basis to invest into your personal development and build a plan and set achievable goals.

Don't set SMART goals. Make them SMARTTSS: Specific: What is the goal? Measurable: How does success look like? Actions: What do you have to do per week? Realistic: You got this vs you’ll never make it. Aim high but achievable. Time-bound: By what day will you have reached the goal? Tools: What tools you need to accomplish this goal? Support: Who will coach you, keep you accountable and tell you what you can do better? Stop: What do you need to stop doing to reach your goal?

Goal Setting is an integral part of creating a Personal Development Plan. As much as it can sound overwhelming, it can be done strategically to manage time, other tasks and priorities. 1. Create Long Term Goals - Yearly Goals (3-5 years) 2. Create Monthly Goals - Break down yearly goals into monthly goals. Make SMART goals. 3. Create Weekly Goals - Time block to break down monthly goals 4. Create Daily goals - Create action items that push you to move the needle in the right direction.

Setting goals is important What's more important is to break each goal down into stupidly simple steps you'd be embarrassed not to take: 1- make your bed (starting your day with an accomplishment) 2- clean up the kitchen after cooking (resilience) 3- walk 10 mins before work (if 30 mins is too much) Become the person your goals demand

I've set a simple '3 goals a day' plan for myself - (I work 9-5 & building a business) 1. 20 min walk - first thing in the morning (conscious thinking) 2. 1 hour focused work - before office (writing) 3. Exercise + 10 min guided meditation (focus) Been practicing this for 10+ days now. - I feel 10% better. - I think better - I look better - I'm more confident - I sleep better And, helps me manage my time better. Small steps. I recommend you guys try a similar strategy.

Your goals should be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timely. As for myself, I am a morning person, so I like to have my morning routine to get started and feel ready for the day - and feel like I have accomplished something already before work starts. I make sure I do some yoga, journalling, go for a walk and have my breakfast, before logging in my computer. During my walk, to optimize my time, I like to either call a friend or listen to a podcast.

Scheduling is where the rubber meets the road when it comes to personal development. Having an undeveloped schedule, or worse, reacting to your daily demands, will thwart even the best of intentions when it comes to your development. Ideally, schedule yourself as follows: 1. Yearly → High level goals 2. Monthly → Break down annual goals into monthly building blocks 3. Yearly → Weekly scheduling The weekly scheduling should be done a week ahead and prioritize your highest return activities such as: → Personal time → Exercise → Specific development activities (e.g., coaching) → Breaks from work Enter all of these critical activities into your calendar a week ahead and make them non-negotiable.

Priorizar, delegar e cessar são palavras chaves na sua produtividade. Mas antes de analisar quais os pontos considerar na sua priorização e planejamento, considerou classificar primeiro o que demanda a sua energia de forma excessiva como por exemplo: o seu tempo dispensado no uso de tela em aplicativos de redes sociais e mensagens. A IA e a tecnologia são de extrema valia para nossa produtividade e até ai tudo certo, agora imagine o quanto de tempo você gasta desnecessariamente no uso destas ferramentas? Usa a seu favor ou contra? Acredito que o sue foco irá ser recuperado e poderá se reorganizar de forma assertiva.

Start by integrating small habits into your daily routine. This could mean listening to a podcast related to your interests during your commute or spending 10 minutes each morning or night journaling your thoughts and feelings. Growth doesn’t happen overnight. It’s the little things you do consistently that add up over time. Also, don’t forget to give yourself grace. Some days will be better than others, and that’s okay. The key is to keep moving forward, making small adjustments as you learn what works best for you. Along with the habits mentioned, try setting aside a few minutes each day to plan your tomorrow. This helps you focus on what's truly important.

12 week planning is the easiest way to track and measure your performance. But you need an accountability buddy so that you don't slide back to your old habits. When you use a planning system and continually measure performance with an accountability buddy, people play at a higher level because they do not want to be humiliated. It's one of the greatest human motivations.

Planificar el trabajo, priorizar tareas, y delegar, son la clave para producir sin estrés y poder dedicar algo de tu tiempo a ti mismo, ya sea por cuidado personal, hobbies o responsabilidad familiar.

Primeiro você precisa saber o que quer atingir. Sabendo a direção, existem ferramentas e aplicativos que nos ajudam a acelerar esse progresso mesmo estando em constante movimento. Minha experiência pessoal é: - Registro minhas tarefas usando o Microsoft ToDo (poderosíssimo e grátis) - LinkedIn Learning e Coursera para cursos em qualquer lugar ( principalmente em viagens faço o download de cursos inteiros e tenho acesso sem a dependência da internet). - Organizo toda minha base de conhecimento usando Notion - Insigth Timer para meditação, onde acompanho todas as minhas Milestones e utilizo o relógio com lembrete para minha prática diária.

My one suggestion that is in our control is doing your best to set reminders to check your personal calendar every night until you have formed a habit to check your calendar. If you’re always on the go, being able to understand what you have coming up in the next few days or for the week will help you build a foundation to better use your time and development. Without knowing what is coming up while you’re on the go, makes it difficult for you to manage your time and develop. Building the habit to check your calendar will keep you structured and aware of what to expect so you can adapt and react in a more confident manner.

With thousands of apps out there, an important consideration is this: What do you hope to achieve by using it: ? ToDoist, Trello or Asana are ideal for bigger, longer projects and more people. Evernote (my favorite) gives you speed; you can quickly locate information you've used before If you're having trouble staying focused, apps like Headspace, Calm along with a few of my favorites (e.g., EnVision and ThinkUp) are great for activating your higher faculties, not just mastering tasks. I love any app for facilitating flow and concentration. I use Flowly for biofeedback, and Deeperum. Both are fairly low cost and I use them daily. (No affiliation, I just like the products!)

You can't read the label inside a bottle If you're struggling and you keep doing what you've been doing so far, you won't get the outcome you want You might be aware but you might miss the blindspots. Having someone who believes in you, been in your shoes and accomplished what you want is an investment for an infinite ROI They'll show you your blind spots and call you out on any BS to stay on track Focus on becoming a person of value, the outcome you want will follow

It can be hard to recognize the changes we have made after working on personal development. Ask for feedback. Ask your significant other, "What have you noticed, for better or worse, since I started on these changes?" Ask your friends, your coworkers. Just get some feedback!

Find yourself an accountability buddy with a goal similar to you. You can keep each other accountable each day of staying on track, exchange tips&tricks and provide feedback when needed.

The key is to love, respect & place a value on yourself. Others will too. We cannot satisfy & can't always make everyone happy & to like us. Who cares!

Indeed, feedback is critical for personal development. We can get feedback from ourselves by daily journaling, for example. And, we can get feedback from apps; something like Habit Bull (ap and many others) which track our daily habits. We can get help from others. Even friends can give feedback. But for serious progress, we generally do best with a coach, either in a 1:1 situation or a small group. Feedback is inextricably linked to #goalachievement, we cannot have one without the other.

Depending on each individual’s personality traits and dynamics this can be very hard as some people have the tendency to 1st being very demanding with themselves and 2nd getting frustrated when things don’t happen as initially planned, that’s why it becomes crucial to keep a flexible mindset in these specific cases and adapt accordingly to what actually works best during that specific period of time. Things evolve and change over time so as long as we understand this, it will be easier to adapt our personal development plan ensuring we remain on track and most importantly, motivated.

The most important step is to analyze what works and what doesn't. Sometimes you really want to follow a schedule but after several days you notice that you just can't stick to it. Reflect on that and instead of forcing yourself, change the schedule to make it easier for you

Time can be relative, if you want to feel less on the go, do things that 'slow down' time: - Spend an hour on your own with no phone - Remove social media scrolling for 24h - Fast for a day Removing these day to day, time consuming actions will make you realise that there is actually more time in a day than you realise. It's simply eaten out by auto pilot actions (scrolling or keeping ourselves busy with people). Doing these will help your refine your relationship with time.

Balancing a busy lifestyle with personal development involves organization and prioritization. Prioritize tasks, use calendars and to-do lists, and schedule specific times for learning and growth. Say no to overcommitting, incorporate daily habits, review plans, and use downtime wisely. Automate or delegate tasks when possible. Maintain good health, seek feedback, and make consistent changes while managing your active life.

Sometimes we feel like we have no time, when actually, we spend our time scrolling mindlessly or doing something that does not fill our cup. Try to identify these moments for yourself - which things you do actually cost you energy instead of giving it to you? Make small changes, even as much as taking 15 minutes a day without your phone, can have a significant impact over time.

The best advice I was given was to make good use of 'committed time'. When travelling ... * read those technical articles that get left in the 'someday' folder * listen to relevant podcasts * block out 'prime time' in your calendar to work on strategic projects so the time doesn't get nabbed for meetings.

Here's 2 things to consider: 1. Focus on energy management over time management. Time is finite. Energy in infinite. There's an infinite amount of energy you can bring to the limited time you have. Question to reflect on: What core habits keep me energised? e.g. working out in the morning 2. Managing personal development can be seen as something you do 1 hour a day. But what if it's something you're always working on? Personal development happens AS you go on the move. Not necessarily something away from the move. e.g if you are working on leadership skills, as you go on the move, practice listening deeply to others. This will ensure it's embedded in your day and not something you forget about in after an e-learning course!
