Do you constantly feel like you are running out of time? Because you are so busy, you end up missing out on all the things that make you happy. We use the word βIβm busyβ as an excuse to not pursue our dreams, to not spend time with loved ones, to not find happiness. Well stop! Being βbusyβ is a choice.
Here are a couple ways you can un-busy yourself, so you can make room for what you love.
#1. Set aside βme timeβ daily Routine
Make time for yourself and schedule it in. Set aside time to eat lunch, find solitude in the morning, go to yoga, take brakes etc. Prioritizing yourself and giving yourself room to breathe and relax will help you maintain a healthy mental state.
#2. Own less
This is something I am personally working on, as I use to love to shop! Owning a lot of βthingsβ only takes up more time. It takes more time out of your day to organize, clean, and maintain everything. The less you own, the more time you will have for fun experiences and adventures.
#3. Prioritize
Make a list of what truly matters in your life, and make room for it. If your personal relationship is suffering because of lack of quality time, then you need to set aside time to fix it. Being too busy is just misplaced priorities.
#4. Learn how to say βnoβ
Learning to say βnoβ to less important commitments in your life can free up more time for things that should be a priority.
This post is dedicated to @xaero1. Don't work too hard! :)

Hi @karensuestudios yes at my previous job I used to feel like I was running out of time.
Fortunately I had a plan and a goal and once the goal was met I stopped working and now I feel like I have an abundant supply of time!

https://steemit.com/health/@victorialuxx/a-zen-return-to-the-office-is-possible
the thing is, everyone take the phone to the washroom, or before sleeping checking the emails and other things. thats a big thing to much, didnt you think too ?
yes I agree
your smile is so sweet
aww thank you! :)
on # 2 my wife has taught me that you can only have room for new things if you let go of the old, making exploring a real treasure now
ahhh. I like that! It makes sense too... There is only so much time in the day. It's like my closet. I should throw out clothes when I buy new ones... HAHAH but its so hard!
Great message!
thank you!
Awesome,!
I've been doing (2) a lot recently, already!

OoO Doctor??? I like the sound of that! My parents always wanted me to be a doctor, but instead I decided I wanted to be an artist πππ (ya know cuz their asian, and I'm a rebel) Gotta live rife on da edge!
Yeah, you got it... lol I thought 1 was enough π
Yes, doctor in psychology - I think you are probably fully qualified for it since you work in social media / marketing! π
Hehehe... tell my all your problems Jon Snow! I'll fix you! πΊ
Also... what are you still doing awake? Did you not sleep again? π±Did you already forget rule number one "me time" πππ

2 Thoughts:
Warren Buffet said, "Successful people say ,"No", to almost everything"
I suck at saying no, but I'm getting better.
Be really "busy" is a form of procrastination. It's a way we can trick ourselves into not having to do the things that are really important.
I really liked your post. I'm always looking for more info on this exact topic. Slow down and smell the freakin roses! Yayaya
Cheers. Have a nice day.
Ahh I had no idea warren buffet thought like that! Thanks for the fun fact.
Hahah cheers to slowing down and smelling the roses πΉ
Good hearing from you! π
The optimism... much wow.
Hahah wow! much thanks!
Excellent post, and very true.
I ( by a life choice of 'un busy' ing my self) went from a stressed out headless chicken, to today.
Today is going online, painting some models I have just built, for a war gaming project.
War gaming is very time consuming, but immensely rewarding ( if you like military history and playing games , that is!)
I will spend a few hours on the balcony, with my girlfriend, eating freshly prepared food.
Since un-busying myself,life is sweeter, the sun is brighter, colors are vivid.
And sleep is fantastic !
Haha thanks for the awesome comment! Sleep is fantastic! Glad you are enjoying life :) keep it up.
Definitely owning less is one of those things that can save up a lot of time, as you are not spending all of your time looking after all of your crap. :)
Hahha yes... or having a hard time finding what you need π
priorities!:)
That's right! Just have to learn how to organize! π
So true... Even when Im not busyI always think about what I need to do next!!! π² In my intro post I put a few of my favorite life inspiring quotes, u might like as well ! These are definately things we need to remind ourselves everyday since life's too short !! Lets just enjoy our precious time hereπ thank you for reminding that and sharing! Upvoted!
aww thanks! :) I'll have to check it out.
Oh i definitely own less nowadays.
I just have :
That's all folks! ;)
Great topic @karensuestudios
Thanks for sharing

I definitely need to do the first one! I forget about "Me" time haha!
I love that picture of you! You are so gorgeous hehe :)
awww Yes you do! Now you have no distractions :) Go treat yourself, you deserve it!
Thank you! :)
We must always make time to do something to better our health because without good health, being busy won't be an option.
True! Being alive and well is more important than anything else!
Definitely can relate.
Refocusing my site's direction and my own at the moment - concentrating way more on Steemit, writing, art and music.
No more distracting "next big thing" entrepreneurial endeavors. My blinders are on haha.
Literally just began regularly visualizing things at intervals throughout each day. Big results so far. :)
Awesome post!
Thank you! Love that! When you make goals in small chunks they don't seem impossible anymore. π
Totally reminded me of this guy's speech:
Focus on the actions and not the goals. :)
Thanks for sharing this! I woke up and watched this video, and now I'm feeling motivated to just focus on my behaviors! thanks for this awesome video :)
Oh cool :) Glad you liked it.
