The July 2007 issue of “Reader’s Digest” had a wonderful article on “Find More Time: 23 great ideas for getting it all done – and getting the most out of life.” In the article, author Camille Noe Pagan profiled three time-crunched individuals and had productivity pros make suggestions on how to improve their lives.
Some good suggestions included:
1) If your commute is horrible, try leaving a few minutes earlier or later to see if you can miss the rush.
2) Start the day with a few moments of peace to focus you for your day. (The article suggested spending the time in silence. I would suggest prayer.)
3) Check email only a few times a day.
4) Be willing to accept less than perfection in most things. Consider an 80/20 rule. Only 20% of things need to be done perfectly. The rest can be “good enough.”
And my favorite:
5) Get a reality check: Appreciate all you really do get done in your life.
