In this BIT: You don’t need more time, you need more focus. Check out expert advice on how to organize your life through better time management.
Time management can be hard with our busy lives but it can make all the difference. On Hack Your Happiness, so many of our guests have come back to the same truth: the way you manage your time isn’t just about a planner or a productivity app. Here’s what they’ve taught us.
Before you touch your to-do list, there’s something more important. Across episode after episode, our guests returned to the same surprising starting point: your body.
Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett, Neuroscientist: “Get enough sleep. Get off your screens two to three hours before you need to go to sleep. Take care of your body.”
Dr. Tracey Marks, Psychiatrist: “If you’re sleeping enough, you really just have a lot more to work with. All the things you need to do managing yourself, staying focused becomes much more manageable.”
No productivity hack can compensate for a depleted body. Sleep is the strategy.
One of the most consistent themes across our podcast: break it down. The big, intimidating thing becomes manageable the moment you stop looking at all of it at once. Again, you don’t need more time – you need more clarity!
Marissa Meyer, Bestselling Author: “I try to break down my long-term goals into a series of small steps, and not think about the big scary thing.”
Alina Morse, Founder, Zolli Candy: “Building routines that are manageable every single day allows you to celebrate small wins and that fuels me for the rest of the day.”
Focus on what’s directly in front of you, not the enormity of the whole.
Perfectionism is one of the greatest enemies of good time management. Our guests didn’t just acknowledge this, they gave us the words to reframe it.
Molly Seidel, Olympic Marathoner: “If we’re highly disciplined in one area, it’s okay if in other areas of life things aren’t quite as tight and exacting. That idea of perfect discipline can actually be demoralising.”
Angela Duckworth, Author of Grit: “If a good friend says, ‘Can you take a little bit of time away?’ and if I can’t do it I think it’s a warning sign.”
You don’t have to be perfect everywhere to be exceptional somewhere. Give yourself grace.
We hope that these time management hacks help you organize your life and feel more focused. Every one of these insights came from a real conversation on the podcast. There’s so much more where this came from! Tune in and hear it for yourself: click here
