How to Have More Time

 

Have you ever wished you had more hours in your day? If there were just a few more hours you could get so much more accomplished. Since that isn't possible, why not try to find ways to save some of the time you already have? Here are some ways to carve out more time in your day:

• Streamline Your Life

If you want more time, try streamlining your life, meaning start combining the things you can do at the same time. This makes you day run more efficiently and uses your time the most effectively.

• Delegate Tasks

The number of tasks they have to complete each day overwhelms many people, when the real problem is their inability to delegate some of the work to other people. Lighten your load by letting someone else with more free time do some of the work. Stop micromanaging once you've delegated the tasks as well. Delegate and then let go.

• Saying Yes and No Effectively

Learning to say "no" tactfully and without feeling guilty afterwards is necessary if you want to have more time. That's not so say that you should say "no" to everything, you should just start saying "yes" more selectively. This simple act is not only time-saving, it is also empowering and will make others have more respect for your time.

• Try Tracking Your Activities

Want to know exactly where you are wasting time and how much time you're wasting? Start tracking your activities! This will help you eliminate behaviors that are completely a waste of time.
