Wanting More Time for Your Meaningful Work
The rest of our life fills up all the space – how can we find enough time to focus on what’s really important? This is a common problem for anyone who wants to launch a new venture, volunteer, create art, write a book, build an audience, build a brand, etc.
Create structure in your life
It can feel overwhelming when there is a huge pile of stuff and seemingly not enough time
- If you have a space for all the stuff, you can relax knowing it will be taken care of, creating structured and intentional space for meaningful work.
Bring Some Zen to Disruptions
Relax, breathe, and accept the interruption as just a natural part of the chaos of life.
- See the gift in the interruption. Find the gratitude for having this person in your life. Then simply return to the meaningful task, with your whole self.
Replenish Yourself
Recharge your batteries, give yourself nurturing and nourishment, replenish yourself so that you can return with full life force
- Get more sleep: shut down earlier and let yourself relax into deep, nourishing sleep
- Go for a walk or run: enjoy the quiet beauty of nature
- Take a hot bath: relax and enjoy yourself
- Drink some tea while doing nothing else: take some space
Create Even More Space
Create more time by bundling emails and messages into a certain hour each day
- Get out of commitments
- Ask for postponements
- Cut out distractions
- Be creative
- It pays off in space in a week or two
Bring Freedom, Joy & Lit-upness to Every Activity
We can bring joy and freedom to any activity, including our routine work.
- What would it be like to do the activity you normally experience as suffocating… with a sense of freedom and joy? What if you could do the dull routine activities with vitality?
Really Pour Yourself Into It
When you’re in the focus block – pour yourself into it. Give it your full being. Don’t half ass it.
- Create structure and structure to make meaningful work happen
- Don’t be afraid to do it on your own.
