0:18

your life. 8

0:23

ways to create more time in your

0:25

daily life by Mia of she dreams

0:27

all day dot com. Time

0:30

is on everybody's lips. We are in constant

0:33

demand for time and we just can't seem to get

0:35

enough of it. Yet the matter of the fact

0:37

is that we all get twenty four hours in

0:39

a day. That's it, dreamer. No

0:41

more, no less. So

0:43

how do certain people do it? How do

0:46

the Beyonce and productivity wizards

0:48

of the world seem to get it all done while

0:50

the rest of us struggled to even find ten minutes

0:52

spare for our dreams? The answer

0:54

to the question will hopefully be uncovered in this

0:56

blog post about how to create more time

0:58

in your life. We'll take a deep dive

1:00

into ways to create more time in your life for

1:02

your goals, dreams, and

1:04

the things that light you up. 8

1:07

simple ways to create more time

1:09

in your life. Number

1:11

one, prioritize your passion.

1:14

First things first, you need to prioritize and

1:16

unravel the one thing that sparks

1:18

joy in you and what you really

1:20

want to pursue. You need a goal

1:23

and a dream you can chase. It's

1:25

gonna be really hard to create more time in your life

1:27

if you don't have anything to revolve your life and

1:29

time around. Once you have your passion

1:31

and dream in place, you can start prioritizing.

1:34

If you're clear about your path, you'll get there

1:36

much faster and spend your time with more

1:38

intention. Clarity more

1:41

time. Number two,

1:43

make quick decisions. You

1:45

gotta make those quick decisions dreamer

1:48

wondering and pondering waste so much

1:50

time. The more time you spend saying

1:52

you don't know something, the more time

1:54

completely hits the fan. In order

1:56

to create more time in your life, you need to

1:58

improve your decision making skills.

2:00

Don't worry, this is something you can practice to

2:03

get really good at. This is how

2:05

you make a quick decision when you're presented

2:07

with different options. Number one,

2:09

weigh the pros and cons. Number

2:11

two, set a deadline for deciding.

2:14

Number three, make the decision. Number

2:17

four, don't second guess or question your

2:19

decision. Number five, don't

2:21

look back and own your decision.

2:24

From now on, erase the phrase, I don't know,

2:26

from your vocabulary, and start making

2:28

quick decisions to save time. Number

2:31

three, spend money to create

2:33

more time. There is no getting

2:35

around that spending money frees up time.

2:38

If spending money is possible for you,

2:40

do it. Spending money will speed up

2:42

any task and create so much more time for

2:44

you to spend your energy elsewhere on

2:46

what matters most to you. For

2:48

example, hire a virtual assistant

2:50

to help out with tasks you don't enjoy

2:52

doing. Get a personal assistant,

2:55

a life coach, a personal shopper,

2:57

hire someone to clean the house and take care of

2:59

your garden. Pay a babysitter to watch

3:01

the kids so you can get it on with your goals.

3:04

Remember that cheesy saying time is money,

3:06

friends? Is true. Number

3:09

four, wake up earlier. Wake

3:11

up earlier to create more time in your life.

3:14

You knew this one was coming. Right? Hek, I've

3:16

written an entire ebook on the magic of a good

3:18

morning routine. You know how much I love

3:20

and admire an early rise and so should

3:22

you? Waking up earlier is one of

3:24

the best ways you can create more time in

3:26

your life. Start by waking up thirty

3:28

minutes earlier and notice what a good morning

3:30

routine can do for your productivity. Get

3:33

your MIT most important task

3:35

out of the way first thing. You'll

3:37

feel so much more productive and it'll give you

3:39

momentum so you can sail through the rest

3:41

of your day. Magic getting more things

3:44

done before nine AM than most people do all

3:46

day. Amazing. I

3:48

challenge you to set your alarm to at least

3:50

fifteen minutes earlier tomorrow morning so you can

3:52

start to reap the benefits of waking up

3:54

early and getting a head start on both your

3:56

day and your dreams. Number

3:59

five. Work your mindset. If

4:01

you think you have no time, you'll have no

4:03

time. That's just the way the world works.

4:06

Your mindset plays a huge role when it comes

4:08

to your productivity and how you spend your time.

4:10

It's literally impossible to manage your time

4:12

well without getting your mindset game

4:15

right. If you carry a negative mindset

4:17

or limiting beliefs into your day,

4:19

you will not spend your time wisely and you

4:21

will not have the results you want.

4:23

Make sure you have on the right mindset

4:25

when greeting a day. Number

4:27

six, turn recurring tasks

4:29

into habits. I

4:31

love habits. Habit can make your life

4:33

so much easier and if implemented correctly,

4:35

habits will also help you save so much

4:37

time. Turn your recurring tasks

4:39

and routines into habits.

4:42

Pair them with habits you already do on

4:44

autopilot. For example, brushing

4:46

your teeth right after implementing a new journaling

4:49

habit. When you make your tasks and routines

4:51

habitual, they become second nature

4:53

to you. You'll do them without blinking

4:55

and thinking. This will make you more suited

4:57

to manage your time better. Number

5:00

seven, plan your way to

5:02

more time. Planning ahead

5:04

reads more time, space, and energy

5:06

in your life. I highly recommend you

5:08

take some time and plan your day during your

5:10

evening routine. Put the

5:12

results you expect to get in a given

5:14

time frame on your calendar. Are

5:16

these results no matter what? If

5:18

you do this, you'll produce so much more in

5:20

less time and you will not wander aimlessly.

5:23

Make it a habit to always plan your way

5:25

to more time. Always

5:27

honor your plans. Show it for

5:29

yourself on a consistent basis. If

5:31

you show up, you are less likely to wander

5:33

off, take breaks, and procrastinate.

5:36

Man, you'll have more time because you're laser

5:38

focused on the results you want in your

5:40

life. Number eight,

5:42

add constraints to your life. Add

5:45

constraints and rules to your life to limit

5:47

decision making and create more time.

5:49

You'll have more clarity, be more focused,

5:51

increase your productivity, and more

5:53

importantly, you will have more time on your

5:55

hands. Some examples of constraints you

5:57

can have in your life, only wear

5:59

neutrals, only work towards

6:01

one goal at a time, only eat

6:03

certain foods, like no meat,

6:05

dairy, or sugar. Only spend

6:07

money on necessities. Only

6:09

watch Netflix before or after

6:11

a certain time during the day. Only

6:14

check your phone and email during a certain time

6:16

of the day. Only focus on one

6:18

thing in your business at a time.

6:20

Only learn from one teacher at a

6:22

time. And only take one online course

6:24

at a time before

6:26

you go. As you probably know,

6:28

there is no real way of creating more time,

6:31

but these are time management hacks that will

6:33

definitely free up more time, making it

6:35

feel like you magically receive the gift of

6:37

more time. Take a look at your

6:39

life and see where you need to up level your

6:41

time management skills and implement some

6:43

of the tips in this article to create

6:45

more time in your life. We

6:47

only get twenty four hours in a day.

6:49

Make the most out of it by making the

6:51

decision of how you'll spend your time.

6:54

This is how you create more time.

7:00

You just listened to the post titled eight

7:02

ways to create more time in your life

7:04

by Mia of she dreams all day

7:06

dot com. Take it EMEA,

7:09

another list type post. So again,

7:11

like yesterday, trying not to feel overwhelmed

7:13

and instead You can pick maybe

7:15

just one or two things to

7:17

work on or think through that resonated with

7:19

you. Personally, I find

7:22

Adding constraints to my life more

7:24

difficult because I have

7:26

the personality type where if I

7:28

break a rule that it's basically done

7:30

forever. Some might as well get rid of it.

7:33

And in life, rules get broken. It's

7:35

bound to happen. So for me, it

7:37

feels a bit too rigid Something

7:39

I'm working on, but at least I'm aware enough to

7:41

know that something like that probably

7:43

wouldn't work best for me. But

7:45

on the other hand, I do like

7:47

trying to turn recurring tasks

7:49

into habits by pairing them up

7:51

with something that's already built

7:53

into my day and is an established

7:55

habit already. So for example,

7:58

before I shower, I do some

8:00

kind of physical activity that could be

8:03

stretching, walking, or

8:05

more of a formal workout. By pairing

8:07

it up, it's harder for me to forget

8:09

to do it and it's what

8:11

I think of when the idea of a shower

8:13

starts to pop into my head. But

8:15

as usual, what works for one might

8:17

not work for another in vice versa,

8:19

so try what resonates with

8:21

you. Thank you for being here. Very

8:24

grateful that you're you're learning along with

8:26

me. Have a great rest of your day,

8:28

and don't go anywhere because I have a bonus episode

8:30

for you coming right up, so stay tuned for

8:32

that. Where you're optimal life? 8
