Making the most of your free time can be a challenge, there are often many things that you want to do, and other people who would like to suck up your time. If you want to get the most done, these tips can help you.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Paper and Pen
  • The will to follow through
  1. Step 1

    Create a list of priorities. This is not the specific items, but what is generally most important to you. That could be items like "Spending time with my family", "Making the house look nicer" or even "Relaxing". No matter what your goals are, writing them down will help you focus.

  2. Step 2

    Now, list specific things that you can do to further those priorities. This is the time for specific goals that you want to accomplish. Tasks like "Paint the living room" or "Take the kids to the beach" go here. This is your concrete plan. Be sure to take care of all of your priorities.

  3. Step 3

    Now, set specific times for events that can be pinned down. You could paint on Saturday between 11am and 2pm. Block this time off in your planner, if you use one. This will prevent you from double booking a lunch with your friends or any other commitment that will distract you.
