Julius Caesar could do three things at the same time. You will not surprise our contemporaries with such "talent", because if today you are not multitasking, tomorrow you are hopelessly behind. Hard? Yes. But it is doubly difficult if you are a woman.

An unmarried girl spends time getting married, a married woman shares hours and minutes with her husband, the mother of a family spends time taking care of all members of her family. Undoubtedly, girls are different, but we will try to provide the most universal system for counting and spending time, which will suit the majority and which is easy to adjust for individual use.

So, there is your life, the task is to spend it so that it will not be excruciatingly painful for the years spent aimlessly.

1. The most important thing is to love and value yourself, respect your time, desires and needs

Before compiling an expense book and counting the minutes lived, decide what in this life is worth your time, and what is unlikely. There can be more or less money - we will find out about this during the issuance of salaries. Time is never enough - no one knows when it will run out.

2. All that you do during the day, week, month, rank according to the degree of importance

“Important” is mandatory for performance, “not very important” is desirable to perform, “not important” is performed irregularly, performance / non-performance does not in any way affect the standard of living / mood / relations with family and friends.

Someone may think that the line "personal time" in the column "important" is superfluous. In vain.

So, the category "important" can be attributed

• spending time with people who are important to you;
• personal time;
• time allotted for your key responsibilities, if any.

Someone may think that the line "personal time" in the column "important" is superfluous. In vain. Because if you don’t have at least one or two hours a day for yourself (to reflect, master a new make-up, read an interesting book, just relax), in a month a lack of attention to yourself can lead to stress. It's scary to think what will happen if you forget about yourself for a year! The rest of the lines are unlikely to cause confusion: everyone knows well how important it is to be with those you love. And the responsibilities … It may be worth reallocating them before you start sticking to the plan: it is possible that you are taking on too much. Anything that you sometimes do, but usually neglect, is categorized as “not important”. This is a very dangerous category, because sometimes it is there that there are unfulfilled little whims, which, accumulating, lead a woman to dissatisfaction with herself.

3. Set aside an approximate number of minutes for each daily-weekly-monthly activity

This should be the number rounded down to the lower. So, setting aside about 30 minutes for a grocery trip, you will spend 45. By setting the same 20-minute bar, you will surely meet the desired half-hour period. When setting time limits, make sure that the quality of the work performed does not suffer. Surely the first time you will not be able to select the middle ground. It is important to want to find her.

4. Try not to take work home and "home" to work

Bringing out an unfinished report, blank forms from work, you almost always create a stressful situation for yourself or your family, violate the time management plan, or in the end, take away the time you deserve rest. When you take “home” to work (namely, you solve family issues, waste your work time on personal correspondence, etc.), you form a vicious circle and in the end you will be forced to take work home.

5. Procrastination is the scourge of our time

Everything that can be done today must be done today. That did not happen? Look for the reason! It could be in your "I'll do it tomorrow". If so, eliminate such thoughts.

But it is possible that you have made yourself an impossible plan. Then make up a doable and follow it. We must not ruthlessly save on everything - we must learn to spend time rationally.

6. Stop being lazy! More often than not, it is laziness that prevents us from spending our lives in such a way that we do not regret, but admire.

Stop being lazy and live tomorrow in a reasonable temporal order, not in a relaxing, timeless chaos. Although … if chaos is more to your liking, forget all these recommendations and live the way you like!
