5 Ways To Get The Most Out Of Your Time.

I'm back!  Unfortunatly I didn't come through the last two months with posts, I'm going to make it up though by going to a biweekly post.  Consistancy is something a majority of the world lacks in, and I don't want this blog to be part of the majority; oppositely, a blog that you can count on to be consistent AND valuable.

Over the past few months I haven't not had anything to say, had a lot to say actually.  March my main pondering was seasons.  Winter was finally ending, though the next month I was snowed on in Missouri, and I was entering a new season by starting another year of life.  I had many thoughts on the subject, a lot of notes, and study time in preperation to write.  But when I went to write I just had no flow of words, hence the reason for no post that month.

Then, April I had the privilege of spending the month in Missouri where I sat under much great teaching, during which I scribbled notes frivolously planning to have much material to go back over and eventualy blog about.  Then, an unfortunate mishap occured and the notebook I used all month was lost..

Anyway, here we are in the month of May!  As always it's hard to beleive how quickly time flies.  With the hands on the clock seeming to go faster and the days slipping by, it is my hope that we are making the most out of the seconds, minutes, and hours.  In no way am I an expert, but I want to share 5 ways to get the most out of your time. 

 1.  Keep A Day Planner.  Did I mention none of these methods are prophetic?  They're clearly not, but they are simple, applicable, and will help you manage time.  With each of these ways there's no harm in getting overly specific.  For example: in your day planner you can write "Get up at X o'clock.  Get dressed.  Eat a bowl of Capitan Crunch".  By being so specific, you make the most of the minutes.  You can also allot a set amount of time to each objective.

2.  Make Lists.  When you have some free time you wont waste it by having a list of things to refer to.  It can be a to-do list, those are always good when actually refered back to, or it can be a list of things you want to do.  It's frustrating when you get excited about free time, then when it comes you have nothing to do and you're bored again.

3.  Get Up Early (earlier).  The excuse, "I'm not a morning person", would be true for everyone if no one got up early!  Start getting up early and make yourself a morning person; only you can change yourself.  The wisest pepole I look up to get up early.  Most seniors I know, many of who are those wise people, get up early.  It's not easy, I'm not there, but there is something about early mornings that are always benificial.

4.  A Productive Mindset.  None of the first three suggestions will be of much, if any, help without a productive mindset.  Productive's simpliest meaning is:  producing.  If we aren't producing anything we aren't being productive.  Think productive!  It starts with think; produce the thought and you're already well on your way.

5.  1-4.  By combining the four the things you can accomplish are endless!

If you actually take any of this advice, then let me know how it goes.  I'd be overjoyed to hear it helps make you more successful.

Thank YOU for reading!
