Time Management

Making progress in your health journey means making time for you, but somehow that always seems impossible. Where can I find an extra 30 minutes in the day when I already struggle with my schedule? How can I add in a work out, meditation, therapy session, or cook dinner? There just aren’t enough hours in the day. Or so you might believe.

Mastering time management is the unspoken first step in taking care of your whole health. It will give you control over your life and allow you to prioritize your health. Sounds great, right? So how do you do it?

Professor Brad Staats from the Kenan-Flager Business School at UNC-CH shares his top four tips to mastering time management.

1. Prioritize - order your to-do list by importance so you can complete the most important tasks first rather than the easiest tasks just to check the box.
   
2. Ask Questions - this helps increase efficiency so you can use your precious time wisely.
   
3. Reflection - this is overlooked far too often. Reflect on the progress you're making and what’s going well or not so well. Stay in touch with yourself and the process.
   
4. Flex - give yourself space to be flexible. Yes, efficiency is key but don’t let that take away from creativity and constructive struggle.
   

You hold the keys to managing your time. It IS possible to find the time for that run, meal prep, or however you’re caring for your health. Believe in yourself and take back control!
