The best advice for those who want to keep pace with all

Our capabilities are actually limited

How did it keep up? No way!

Yes, you read that right, no you can not catch everything. Today, the world convinces us that there are no restrictions. Advertising advised to take everything from life, to extract from the moment of maximum, and believe that the impossible is possible. And in each and every idea has some merit, but all together it becomes a blatant lie!

We are limited by time, physiological needs, genetics, economic and political conditions, and other things. Ignore all this foolish and even dangerous, because the flip side of eternal life and the stress at the maximum - mental disorders, no more, no less.

Therefore, in contrast to the statements of the omnipotence of man's talk today about the two undisputed restrictions.

Time

Recently, a client complained that she did not have time to work, she has to stay at least, and really want to go in time a couple of hours, because at home waiting for her husband and child. Accordingly, the client asks to teach her "proper time management."

We discuss what is the responsibility of what constitutes a normal working day. I recognize that in her responsibilities include: providing training, personnel evaluation, development of a new project on introduction webinars in the network (70 stores), the organization of corporate life. Daily schedule:

• 9: 00-9: 30 - meeting with the management;
• 11: 00-17: 00 - everyday training with the staff (plus preparation before and after 30 minutes).

All stop! This is enough to understand that the problem is not time management, and in that meeting and training occupy 90% of the time! This is a very clear example of the mistakes we often make.

A day - 24 hours, each hour - 60 minutes, every minute - 60 seconds. Everything. The day ended. We can not stretch time!

physiological needs

The first level of human needs by Maslow's hierarchy - physiological (sleep, water, food, air). What this means in the framework of our theme? The energy that we get to spend it later.

Each time our movement is spent a certain energy. Her number we limited. If the energy is not enough, when we do not get enough sleep and are overloaded, our body prefers not to perform the next task, but simply droop (ie "save energy"), for example, traveling aimlessly on social networks.

The main difficulty is that the measured energy level is difficult, the more so that the body of each person operates differently. Someone less than five hours of sleep a day to recover, while others feels good only with the full eight-hour rest. people with rapid metabolism you need to order more calories per day, to feel cheerful.

So there is no universal recipe, but common recommendations:

• move more;
• go to bed at 22:00;
• To do a massage;
• engage in breathing practices;
• to walk outside.

And each of these items need to be checked for myself alone, trying to understand what actually gives you energy and a feeling of satisfaction, and what is not.

How to learn to take into account the limitations

Time

Now that you have a little parrot that our time and energy are limited, I propose to conduct an experiment. Within a week, you need to keep a diary describing the daily activities and an indication that gives and that takes away your energy. For example, in the form:

This will help you understand what the resource of time and energy to have the things that you have planned.

Next, try the following exercise. Take a sheet of paper and write down all the things that you want to convert. Next to each item, specify the time required for its implementation. But not on the principle of "If you strongly want, I'll do it for... minutes / hours", and on the principle of "With the average rate at rest, I'll do it for... minutes / hours."

Calculate how much time you should take to perform all these cases.

Ask yourself the question: Do you have the time? Take a good look at your schedule for the week and remember that in the distribution of cases should be 30% of the free time to unexpected situations.

If you have the time, go to the point of physiological needs and energy.

If you do not have this time, it turns out, you want the impossible. And if you want the impossible and reproach yourself for the fact that it is impossible not to perform, you to yourself is extremely unfair. And you have several options:

1. Continue to torture yourself for something that does not perform the impossible.
2. Accept the fact that you are not omnipotent and do the following:

• arrange business priorities and perform first "always - a matter of life and death", then "it is highly desirable, otherwise there may be serious consequences, "and finally," I would like, but otherwise the consequences will be insignificant ";
• redistribute business. Are you sure that all these problems can only do you? May discuss with the head of a list of your major tasks and the ability to hire an assistant? Or one of your loved ones can take some of the load at home for yourself?

Physiological needs and energy

One of the hallmarks of the current harmonious energy - a sense of vivacity in the morning. This means that you have enough strength to live another day. If you wake up with a good feeling and mood, and you have time in your schedule for the execution of their affairs, then I do not understand why you are reading this article!

Otherwise, pay attention to the fact that during the day gives you energy and that takes. If you do all day twist like a squirrel in a wheel, do unloved work, all farm pull on itself, you do not have a minute free time and at the same time you criticize yourself for something that does not have time to do something else, then I hasten to note: you are not immortal pony. So you are driving themselves into the grave - an urgent need to review the priorities in life.

Once again, look at their records for the previous week, and think:

• What gives you energy? What other activities (an extra hour of sleep, massage, outdoor walk) you can also add the schedule to get more energy?
• That takes the energy and what you can give up? It is time to remember the prioritization and reallocation of duties.
• How can you organize yourself and your loved ones to give energy classes had more and taking away - less?

By answering these questions, follow these steps:

• Make that change action plan and remember everything at once is difficult, so make one or a couple of changes in a week.
• Enlist the support of loved ones and take them with respect: explain why important are these changes and be prepared for the fact that they can resist.
• Reward yourself for even small successes (pleasant shopping only for myself, the words of praise), and do not blame for the failures. Do not have something to do this week - not terrible, do next.

So, my friends, trying to remake all cases, be sure to keep in mind the time constraints and their capabilities, and do not believe the popular trends. You will not be able to catch everything. But this does not mean that you can not manage to master!

The longer I live, the more I understand that the main thing in life - is firmly know what you want, and do not allow you to shoot down confusing to those who think that they know better.
