time wasters and solutions

1) Social Media

I think social media is the biggest time waster there is. If you want time to fly by; get on social media. It is no joke!

If you don’t control yourself, you can spend hours and hours scrolling and before you know it, you didn’t do anything that you wanted to.

To avoid this time waster, don’t let yourself get on until the task(s) you have planned or the things you want to be done are completed.

Just like you would control a child if they have too much screen time, it is time to control yourself the same way. It will be difficult but it’s definitely doable!

2) Procrastination

Procrastination sometimes goes hand in hand with social media but definitely not always. You will find yourself avoiding things that you have to do and instead doing things that are not on your list at all.

Try setting priorities instead and creating to-do lists to ensure you stay on track!

3) Overthinking

Another big time waster that you will find creeping up on you! Overthinking about how many things you have to get done just makes you not want to do anything.

Don’t overthink too much! Just do it!

4) Being Unorganized

Having clutter everywhere and being unorganized might take more time than you realize! The time you take searching for something is precious!

Try to keep an organized area to save time!

5) Perfection

If you like to pay attention to detail extra hard then you know what I am talking about. Trying to perfect every tiny thing will take up a lot of time.

After you have completed a task move on to the next! More times than not, it is probably completed the correct way already!
