I would like to tell you about a change I made recently that has dramatically saved a lot of time by creating structured timetable for my daily routine. This happened around 6 months ago when I started feeling overwhelmed by juggling various tasks and responsibilities. I realized I was spending out a lot of time on deciding what to do next rather than getting things done. To balance this, I began planning my day the night before. I would list out needed things to accomplish and set time blocks for each one. Starting with the most important task in the morning when I have the most energy and concentration such as reading and doing some exercise. I set small tasks for the afternoon time. This change has had a huge impact on my productivity. Even I no longer waste time on deciding what to do next or getting distracted by less important tasks. I feel so controlled and surprisingly I have more time in the evening which I now utilize for relaxing or pursuing hobbies. I feel overall the change has not only saved my time but also balanced a lot of time.
