THE SIGNIFICANCE OF TIME
Lets break down specific amounts of time during the overall day to distinguish the significance of time.
8 hours of our day represents around 33% of the day.
1 hour is a little over 4% of our day,
30 minutes is a little over 2% of our day,
and 15 minutes is basically 1% of our day.
What percent of your day is dedicated to tasks that drain your time?
When you think of the amount of time we spend on frivolous tasks or unimportant dawdling…
(I hate to admit social media for myself)
Then there is plenty of time to be saved in our day.
It’s as simple as this:
Prioritize the investment of your time toward the outcomes you want to obtain in life.
Don’t let simple mundane things be prioritized over the amount of time you could have for the new disciplines that you WANT in your life.
In other words:
Prioritize discipline.
Hopefully a light bulb has gone off and you want to refocus your effort toward finding more time in your life. Here is how I would do it.
Write a list of responsibilities and a reasonable amount of time to complete them. Once you have the most important things down then fill in the remaining hours of the day with a daily discipline you want to work on for the next two weeks.
(For example my current daily discipline is to read at least a chapter of a book each night.)
By the end of two weeks ask yourself two questions:
Did I take the time to reprioritize my daily life and follow through with the plan?
Was it worth it?
By the end of reading this blog post it probably took you, more or less, 3 minutes or 0.0021% of your overall day.
That is all it took to hopefully produce the richest outcomes of what life long disciplines can have on your health.
