How To Make The Most Of Each Day (Sponsored Post)

I fully believe that we need to make the most out of each day because we only have a limited time here on this Earth with the ones we love. Figuring out what is important to you and then making sure you prioritize those things can be extremely tricky, especially in this time where everyone expects you to work endlessly, without time for yourself. We are in a “go, go, go” mentality and it can be hard to break free from that, but I promise you, if you get the chance to break free, you will be happier than ever.

For me, there are many things that are important, but a huge part of my life that I try to prioritize and make the most of is family time. Here are a few ways that I try to prioritize what is important to me and make the most of each day:

Start On A Positive Note

Time really does fly by and in order to make the most of each day, I want to focus on happiness and positivity. When you wake up on ‘the wrong side of the bed,’ it throws your entire day for a loop and makes it really hard to focus on the things that you should be focusing on. Being in a bad mood and putting others in a bad mood is definitely not making the most out of each day and if this sounds like you, just know that you can do better.

It’s extremely easy to get pulled into other people’s negativity, but stay strong and separate yourself away from that and only focus on the positive. A few great tips to help you start each day on a positive note is by starting the day slow, writing down your intentions and happy thoughts, and sipping on a cup of tea while doing something that you love (even if it’s only for 10 minutes!).

Set Your Schedule

We all have to work – it’s just a normal part of life and honestly, to make the most out of each day, you really do need money to make that happen (even if your perfect day is just sitting at home, eating dinner around the table with your family). So, go into work with a positive attitude, ready to knock things out. Setting your schedule allows you to get a full picture view of everything you have to knock out and it also means that you are able to set aside time for things that you need to do like taking the kids to the doctor, or setting aside 10 minutes to do some yoga to help you relax. Set a schedule to get work done when you need to, but also to set aside time to do the things that you cherish the most.

Have A Back Up Plan

Always have a back up plan. When you have an idea of how something is going to go and it ends up not working out for you, be ready for that so that you do not get upset, or overwhelmed. When your kids get sick, know how to navigate that situation, while not getting behind in work. There are very few times where everything goes according to plan, so be ready for the slip ups along the way.

Don’t Waste Time If It’s Not Your Expertise

Wasting time trying to do things that you do not know how to do is not only a huge waste of time, but it also has the potential to do more damage than good, if you are just trying to wing it as you go. For example, electric work is one of those things that you just have to hire out and not waste time on yourself, if you do not know the correct steps and more importantly, safety practices in electrical work. If you try to wing an electrical project, you have the potential to not only waste a lot of time, but also hurt yourself and/or your home.

Be Intentional

Last but not least, be intentional with your time. I think I’ve covered this already, but I just want to take the time to spell it out for you once more. If your time is better used doing something else, do that instead. So, like I mentioned above with the electrical services, if you do not know how to do something, leave it for the professionals to take care of. This will save you time, stress, and a lot of worrying in the long run.

Being intentional is also about knowing how you spent your time and fixing it going forward, if you need to. If you had every intention of spending the morning with your family, but things got crazy at work and you ended up going to work instead on a weekend, figure out how you can plan better next time so that you can not only take care of your work related tasks, but also do what you set out to do, which was spend time with your family. It really is a balancing act, but you’ve got this!
