“I’m so busy! I feel like I’m running in circles! Where does the time go?”
One of the most common New Years Resolutions is to find more time to do the things you really WANT to do. Is it really possible to make more money and find more time? YES!!! The answer lies within two letters. The letter “H” and the letter “V”:
NEED / WANT NEED / WANT
H V
Imagine that the things you NEED to do are one side of the letter “H” and the things you WANT to do are the other side. We spend so much our time focusing on what we need to do all day long (like at work, for example) then we run the bridge to get to the other side of our lives.
When we get to the other side (for example, at home) we go, go, go in order to get all our home tasks completed. Then we cross back over the bridge to work and do it all over again, leaving us with no energy for either of the two sides.
Now, envision your needs and wants blending together without a bridge to cross. This looks like the letter “V.” Here we can blend our needs and wants so that we can give our all at both.
Once you find that balance between needs and wants (or work and home, for example) then the two can work together instead of against each other. Life will become more fluid and balanced which will result in more productivity (at work) and more quality personal time (at home).
I have a saying that I live by: “Quality at work; Quantity at home.” I am a speaker, author, business leader and an entrepreneur, but first and foremost, I am a mother and a wife.
