If
we thought for a moment about what we could stop doing today that would save us
both time and energy it would allow us to focus on the things that we really need to
get done! So the watch phrase here is “Don’t Be Busy, Be Productive”
So
for wants of a better title here is a suggested “Stop Doing” list
1)
Stop
Procrastinating
Let
us face it we could all probably qualify for a “Master’s Degree” in this
subject. It is very easy to put things
off because we all think that there will be plenty of time to do it tomorrow.
So
now it is time to stop putting it off and start doing it today. It does not
have to be hard and it can prove to be a great benefit. Why not remove the busyness from your day and
replace it with productivity?
2)
Stop Comparing Your Life
To Other People’s
Making
these comparisons will never ever do you any good, nobody’s life will ever be
that same as yours. We are all on
different paths through this life and we have to accept that.
So
start to live the life that is yours and live it with intention!
3)
Stop Being Impatient
Life
is too short to be impatient. So stop
doing that right away.
4)
Stop taking your life
for granted
It
is so easy to take your life for granted with really realising what you are
doing. Everyone needs to understand that
they are truly blessed, they have a family that encourages them. So find at least one thing that you can be
thankful for every single day.
5)
Stop biting off more
than you can chew
I
would suspect that you (as I was) are one of those people who have no
understanding of what their limit is and will push themselves to exhausting
levels without knowing why.
If
you know you limit you can turn anything down that is more than you can
physically handle at the time.
If
your life (or that of your family) is going to suffer in away way if you take
on that project – stop and always put your health and your family first.
6)
Stop catering to others
and forgetting about yourself
There
really is nothing wrong with helping someone out, in fact it is something that
everyone should do as and when the need arises BUT if you are doing so much
helping others that your own responsibilities are suffering then it is time to
put the brakes on.
By
all means help other people but do not forget to take care of everything that
you need to get done.
7)
Do you feel guilty about
taking time for yourself?
Some
people fill their days with “stuff” to keep themselves busy. They actually feel guilty about taking some
“me time”. My advice is take it because
you need time for yourself, to nurture, to pamper and simply care for
yourself. Otherwise you will end up
“exhausted” and an exhausted you is no good to anyone.
8)
Time spent on Social
Media
How
many times do you get “lost” on Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest and before your
realise it an hour has gone by and you have not done anything productive.
Limit
your time on these pages and use a timer.
It will probably be difficult at first but you may well find that life
starts to get better. You do not really
need to know that someone you met in the 1st year at school and only
ever speak to once a year has had her 4th child
9)
Worrying about things
you cannot do anything about
There
are things that have a habit of keeping you awake at night even though you know
that there is absolutely nothing you can do about them. Learn to accept that there are things you cannot change in this
life and therefore because you cannot change them, it makes no sense to worry
about them.
And
finally
10) Constantly
Cleaning
There
is no such thing as the “perfect house” and if there was would it be a great
place to raise a happy and loving family?
I really don’t think it would!
I
think it would be far better to put away the duster and the vacuum cleaner and
go off on an adventure with the children.
If the house gets a little dirty in the process it really is not the end
of the world! Spending time with the
children is a far more precious and valuable use of your time than worrying
about a slightly untidy house.
