3 simple steps and get extra 2 hours per day

Have you had many busy days and wished if there are more hours in a day? Would you enjoy spending a couple of more hours with your family or spouse? The lack of time is one of the most compelling challenges we face in our lives. We all are dealt with the same 24 hours every day, and only some are able to make most of it. Here are 3 simple tips that can free 2 hours everyday in your life.

1. Limit checking your emails.

An average office worker today gets around 20-100 emails per day. Most of them check their emails as the first thing in the morning. This is a bad practise because it distracts from your daily plan. Make it a habit to suppress the temptation to check your emails often. Limit checking your e-mails to 2-3 times a day, and always reply in batches when possible. Practicing this might be uncomfortable for you for the first few days, but after a week or two, your colleagues will not even notice that you do not waste time with e-mails often.

2. Effectively prioritize

Prepare a daily task list everyday before you start something. This is best done the night before you go to sleep. Doing so will help you to sleep better with a clearer mind and you will come up with solutions while you sleep. Always start your day early by doing the most important task first. Often this will be a task that you will feel uncomfortable with and want to procrastinate. But when you bite your tongue and get it done early, you will have a burst of energy to complete all other tasks with much less time.

3. Limit social media

Many young adults spent a lot of time in online social platforms. They may include Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and many other online forums. As much as those tools help to connect with your friends, they can be huge time wasters for many people. An effective technique to limit your time with these media is to schedule your time around deadlines. For example if you want to spend 30 minutes with social media everyday, do so 15 minutes before lunch and 15 minutes before leaving work. This will force you to break the pattern and save a lot more time daily.
