traditional 24/7 thinking is limiting our ability to see just how many hours we really have in the week- which is 168 hours mylotters! Seems like a lot of time right? I think a good suggestion is: we free ourselves from the shackles of trying to fit everything we love into one day and instead look at what we can do in a week. I believe that we can fit EVERYTHING we love into your life without losing your mind.,,,,, If we Managing our time.

I can manage my time I don't have so much to do since I'm a home buddy mom. I can mylot the whole day while doing the house task. Right now I'm preparing our lunch and while waiting for the meat that I was thawing I'm here responding to you. Sometimes I rush something I forgot that is too important and I forgot to post it on my fridge. I have a forgetful mind sometimes.

I can manage but I don't think I manage my time well. I still have a lack of sleep since I am way to busy with all kind of things, I also wake up early because my mind is full of ideas. I try to do as less as possible (for me) which means I still do about 10 times more as other people but I am working on that as well.

I can't fit everything in, no matter how hard I try. With a toddler, a job, and no childcare, it's just impossible to keep things clean and to make enough money. I hope that as I get more organized things will become easier.

I am horrible with managing my time. I hardly ever have anything imperative to do but when I do I get it done on time. However, when it comes to trying to juggle fun and money, I'm horrible at it. I work offline and online to try to maximize my potential and my future happiness, but I hardly ever give myself time for fun. I view things by this : When do I work, and when don't I work. I have to give myself time to mentally prepare for my regular offline job, and so I wake up in enough time to do things online and then to take a shower, eat, and prepare.

As it turns out very creatively. I think that at one time in our lives, that was more than enough time. However, while the times have changed to make us busier with the things that we feel like we have to do, the amount of time we have has rather remain unchanged. Many times there never seems to be enough time in the day and many times there never seems to be enough time in the week indeed. Of course, I do imagine one might argue that I have long since lost my mind many times over a long time ago. I just get what I can get done, done, often times trying to scramble. There are times where I wish I had about eight hands, three brains, and some way to slow down time. It is a constant juggling act to really keep everything in order. Creativity tends to play a big part and some people struggle with thinking outside of the box.

I'm not really good at managing my time. I only work part time and my job is really easy, I have a lot of free time and I use to check myLot. I've always wanted to be more productive, however old habits die hard. I love to sleep and procrastinate which are two of the major factors why I am not able to maximize my pottential. I'll try to break them again this week and hope I'll be successful this time.

Hi BJ, I tend to be a little on the hyper side and I have a lot of things going on so my mind is always racing. I don't think I manage my time well at all. I think my girls manage my time. I work full time and get all my hours in in 4 days (2nd shift) My youngest is a senior in highschool and only has one class a day. I get up and take her to class at 10:30 and Pick her up at 12:30. She doesn't drive yet so she often has a zillion places for me to run her. My 25 yr old also does not drive and I end up running her around a lot too. Then I babysit my grandson from 2:30 until 9pm on my days off. So you can see, there is just little windows of time open for me to try to get my things done. I do my best but I usually go around feeling like there just is not enough time or energy in a day.

I don't think that I am planning my time particularly well at the moment, but this is because I am finishing off my degree at University right now and I have a lot of things that I need to balance so I'm not sticking to a specific schedule at the minute. From May 15th, I will start full time work, and that means that I will be working from 9am until 5pm without fail, and I don't have any choice in the matter because I am saving up for a flat so I need to have enough money by this time next year and it will take a lot of work if I am going to be able to do this.

I definitely do not manage my time well. However, i would surely want to manage my time better. I have been over the past few months, reading time management blogs and tips and hopefully, i will be able to manage my time better! by managing my time better, i would have more time for fun, for my family and have more time to do stuff that are interesting!

I believe we can do a lot of things within a week. However this weak I fell into a lazy state and just feel like staying at home after work and didn't go out to enjoy with my friends. I don't think I manage my time well. I even put off writing my online articles because of laziness and procrastination!

I struggle with this,on one hand I know I am really good at multi-tasking so I know that I could be getting alot more done in a day and expecially in a week. However there are just days where the only thing on my mind is spending time with family and relaxing. I have heard that when one keeps to a schedule they can accomplish alot more but I have yet to master such skills lol.
