Personal Planning Made Better with these 5 Quality of Life Tips

595 views

Better time management is an everyday challenge for each person, young and old. Here, we have some obvious, simple, and maybe new ways of thinking to improve the structure of your days, and, the quality of your life.

Each day can be a repetition of the same schedule, same time frames, same everything, creating a degree of ‘sameness’ for you and your family.

I suggest incorporating structure around a structure to maximize your free time as you enter and exit each day.

1.    Pick one night a week to do your grocery shopping.

This sounds obvious and simple, but many do their shopping on an as-need basis. Have an alternative choice during the week, as a fallback.

If you can go every two weeks, all the better.

2.    Use a calendar and put in all your appointments for the year.

Use a calendar you’ll reference. I suggest a flat, desk calendar. If a computer or phone calendar works for you, then great!

3.    Plan your vacations ahead of time.

It’s never too early to start looking at your vacation options and developing an approach to properly lock in your complete itinerary.

Note: Put these dates on your calendar!

4.    Choose 3 days a month to buy clothing for your wardrobe.

Some of us have the same clothes in our closet from years gone by.

Maybe it’s just a belt or socks you need, but maybe it’s more. Slacks, shoes, shirts, pants. You’ve earned the right to buy.

Note: Put those days on your calendar, too!

5.    Enjoy the outdoors. 

Being outdoors and participating in outdoor activities can be a great part of enhancing your year round schedule.

Even when all you’re doing is going to and from work, you can enjoy what the outdoors offers.

How you work with your schedule day-to-day will decide how much of what you do is both efficient, fun and results in a greater quality of life.
