“If only I had more time to work out! If only I had more time to meal plan! I want to go to sleep at 10:30pm but there’s too much to do. I should go to bed earlier but I’ve had no time to unwind.”
Sound familiar?
Life
Health and well-being affect our ability to do life, do it well, and actually enjoy it, on so many levels. And a lot comes under this heading which all play a crucial role in helping us feel like our best self.
Here’s a breakdown of the included subtopics and how they relate to Time, Energy and Attention Management.
Eating habits/diet: The food you consume significantly impacts your energy levels and cognitive function. Maintaining a healthy diet ensures that you have the energy needed to manage your time and attention effectively.
Fitness/movement: Regular physical activity has been shown to improve mood, reduce stress, and increase overall energy levels. Incorporating exercise into your routine can enhance your life and help you manage time more efficiently by keeping you alert and focused.
Sleep: Quality sleep is essential for cognitive function, memory consolidation, and overall well-being. I’m sure I don’t have to remind you that a lack of sleep can lead to fatigue, decreased concentration, and impaired decision-making. It makes everything feel harder and take twice as long.
Relaxation: Taking breaks and engaging in relaxation techniques lead to better productivity. R&R contribute to improved mental well-being, enabling you to approach tasks with a clearer mind and better ideas.
Cycle awareness: Being aware of your natural energy, productivity cycles, and if menstruating – your menstrual cycle, can help you schedule tasks more effectively. By aligning tasks with these natural rhythms you can optimise time management.
Self-care: Prioritising self-care activities, such as hobbies, socialising, or other activities that bring joy, contribute to your overall well-being. It offers a chance to recharge your energy, making you more focused and efficient in getting things done in the time you have.
Brain awareness & integration: Understanding how your brain works, working with it, not against, it if neurodivergent, and optimising its functions through practices such as mindfulness and continuous learning can positively impact your ability to plan, organise, and manage your time effectively.
YOU
When you prioritise YOU and your well-being, you are better equipped to handle the demands of your schedule, make informed decisions, and approach tasks with the energy and focus needed to succeed.
