Always wishing for a little more time? Most people complain about the lack of time. Every person asks for more time in his/her busy and hectic schedule. It may be to get the job done or to spend time with family or just for the sake of leisure. Though a day provides us with plenty of time for everything, we still cannot find that little extra time. Well, there are duties in life which you must perform and you should dedicate time for them. But the whole idea is to save a few minutes from everything and give yourself some free time, some ‘your’ time. With well planned time management, finding time out of your busy schedule shouldn’t be a problem. Here are a few ways how you can find time for yourself.

1. Take time out

To start off, take a time out. Surprised? Well, this time out is yours. Relax, play, plan, do anything you want to do. Kick starting your day on a refreshing note just makes the day better. With your mind all set and fresh, work finishes faster and you do end up saving some time off every work done through the day.

2. Make a list

Make a list of activities you consider a waste of time. Decide if these activities are really necessary. Dropping these activities will give you a lot of time to consider as your free time. Use this time for more important activities or activities you would like to do.

3. Plan your schedule

Create a timetable. Planning your daily schedule and sticking to it will help you find the extra time. This helps in efficient time management. Sticking to a time table also ensures you finish your assigned work on time and don’t delay it.

4. Learn to say ‘no’

Learn to say ‘no’ to certain things. If you end up saying yes to everything and everyone, involuntarily you will end up losing a lot of time. Working for others will leave you with no free time for yourself.

5. Stay away from distractions

TV and the Internet are considered the main distracters. These eat up your time with you being oblivious to them. So, ensure you stay away from distractions, focus on your work at hand, finish it as soon as possible and find some time for yourself.
