How recently have you spent your free time at an event or fulfilling a favor while really wishing you were someplace else?
Of course we all have. We try to prioritize obligations and dole out our free time fairly. Life is a healthy balance so when the scale starts tipping away from you, the enjoyment of life slips away too.
Free time is a precious commodity and creating a budget for it helps keep you on track for a rich outcome.
Here are 5 Easy to Spot signs that you need to start clearing your schedule for yourself.
- There are many places you want to go or things you want to do that are not happening.
- You are not enjoying yourself at events or feeling satisfied when performing a favor.
- You’ve accepted an obligation even when you first inclination was to say no.
- You don’t have “free time” goals or a list of criteria when making commitments.
- Looking at the calendar makes you frustrated.
Awareness is key. A quick and simple session with yourself to ask questions reminds us to prioritize our free time.
