Find the Time to Follow Your Dreams

By Josh Meyerson

aging time clock Almost everyone has dreams and aspirations in life that they would love to pursue and explore, if only they had the time. However, if you don’t make it a priority in your life to find that time, you might never have a chance to find out how successful your dreams and aspirations could become. Although it can be difficult for busy people to carve out even a little bit of time, if you make it a priority to spend just thirty minutes each day in pursuit of your dreams, it can make a big difference in your life.

Finding an extra thirty minutes in your day might be as easy as simply cutting out one television show. If you talk to truly successful people, they will often tell you that they don’t watch any television at all, because they feel it simply wastes time that could be spent on other pursuits. Although you might not want to give up television altogether, deleting thirty minutes of television watching per day could be all you need to realize your dreams.

Getting up just thirty minutes earlier can be a great way of getting a jump on the day. Plus, if you get up before the rest of your family does, you will have some quiet time to yourself to spend on your personal pursuits.

Outsourcing some of your tasks by either hiring a housekeeper, assistant or getting your spouse or kids to help you with things is intelligent as well. You are just as important as everyone else and you need to learn to give yourself a break to pursue your interests. Never feel guilty about doing this, it is your right to have a life.

Finding ways to save time on household chores is also a good way of saving time. Try cooking in batches that you can use to create quick dinners in the evening during the week. When shopping, always use a list so that you can get what you need faster and more efficiently. Setting aside a designated time during the day for housework can also help, as opposed to doing tasks intermittently throughout the day. You might be amazed how much more efficient you can be and how much time you can save if you simply set aside only thirty minutes each day for chores, and leave it at that.
