Time to gain a whole new perspective
Start by looking at how your activities align with your vision and goals. For example, you can view that boring job as the job that provides for your family. Alternatively, you might view the chore of exercise as a way of staying healthy for those who love and rely on you.
Keep the following things in mind when recreating the structure of your life:
Focus on enjoying more activities that are in accord with your purpose.
Schedule each of your priorities and say no to things that do not align with your purpose.
When planning your schedule, take note of those activities that get you from where you are now to where you want to be.
The goal is in not making work the center of your universe. Step off the "work speedway" even temporarily and regain a sense of balance. Separate what is important to you in your personal life. Those are your priorities at this stage.
Try this for one month: Develop a personal agenda that includes "your time" for family, friends, health, and your passions. Allot various times of the day and week for certain activities, and stick to it as best you can manage. If you find that a work activity has to cut into your time, make an adjustment, but do not make this part of your new habit or routine.
Organize a Bit at a Time
Avoid shopping on the busiest days and the busiest times and your errands will speed along much faster and you will not be so frustrated.
Getting Organized Learning How To Focus
Make a point to sit and relax each day and plan.
Do not do chores at the expense of sleep time. You become aware that someone else will end up having to go through your stuff after you are gone. There is nothing more tiring than having to clear the way from the day before when you want to start anew.
