Time Management 101 – Place Your PPE’s (Personal Pleasure Experiences) on Your Calendar First
COVID has personally helped me increase my awareness of self-care.
In all three areas: mental, physical and spiritual… I have stepped up my time management to include scheduling activities I love to do and tools to help me manage my anxiety and overwhelm. These are my own PPE’s – Personal Pleasure Experiences.
Let me share some of my private PPE practices with you.
- Inspirational Daily Readers
- Gratitude Journal
- Calm Meditation
- Hiking
- Pickleball
- Dancing
- Baths
- Dog Walking at the County Park
So now, take my lead and create your own bulleted list of PPE’s and then ask yourself, “When shall I do these great things myself?” and enter time for them on your calendar. Here’s my example:
- Inspirational Daily Readers / Gratitude Journal / Calm Meditation (All 3 of these I do every morning from 6-6:30 AM)
- Hiking (I schedule one hike on a weekend day and then I try, based on clients, to get another one in midweek)
- Pickleball (I just learned this game and I found a church that offers it for free, so I’m figuring this out as I type this ezine…)
- Dancing (I schedule one or two social dances a month on a Saturday or Sunday night)
- Baths (I take one after every Saturday hike because the hike is usually over 10 miles)
- Dog Walking at the County Park (completely spontaneous when Maggie gives me those whites in her eyes!)
See how easy it is to be a professional organizer? Just write what you want to do and then schedule it. I know, I know, easier said than done.
