Why Having Structure in Your Day is so Important and How to do it


Listen Later

In this episode, Jeannette talks about why having structure in your life is important. How it can help you to get through times like the ones we are living through now.

 

Jeannette explains how she has followed her mentor´s advice to manage her time and become far more successful and productive as a result. She shares the method she used. An approach that is flexible enough for anyone to implement and use to get rid of that stressful feeling that there are not enough hours in the day.

 

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • You cannot extend time, but you can manage how you use that time.
  • Everyone has a 24hr day. Yet some people get more done than others.
  • Look, in detail at what you are doing with your time and ask yourself - Should you be doing it? Does it add value to your life?
  • Be sure to take action, after your review.
  • Use the start, stop, continue model, which Jeannette explains in the podcast, to rework how you spend your day.
  • Don´t be afraid to delegate.
  • Be ruthless when clearing out your diary.
  • Make sure that you are spending time on your priorities rather than other people´s priorities.
  • Compartmentalising your diary keeps you organised, while still providing some flexibility.
  • Don´t forget to include time to strategise and work on your long-term goals.
  • Create the right environment and routines to manage your time. Little things like turning off notifications while working make a huge difference.
  • Starting your day in the right way will help throughout the rest of the day.
  • Stick with it. Usually, it takes 21 to 30 days to turn a positive change into a long-term habit.
  • Stop trying to manage your time - instead, manage your life.

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘You can't really manage time because it is what it is. But you can manage your life.’

‘Take a good hard look at how you're spending your time. Who you're spending time with and what you're spending time on.’

‘Stick with it. It takes 21 days on average to stop an old habit and create a new habit.’
