3 fundamental reasons to control your schedule today

Time is commonly referred to by many as the most precious commodity in existence. However, with this knowledge, I often found myself wasting it, living without considering it or caring for it as if it were infinite. Thinking that I was isolated on this island of neglected life, I was surprised to learn that I wasn’t the only one spending time on things that didn’t matter just to get nothing in return. There were others who shared my carefree attitude to a daily schedule and hated being trapped in a box of countless routines. United we stood as we watched others advance their careers, grow their families, do things, and move forward in life.

Each day we started with an exhaustive list of things that needed to be accomplished only to end with that same list still intact with only a few critical items crossed out. With no progress, that’s exactly where we left off. We were trapped on an island of mediocrity and stagnation. Looking to the horizon, we could no longer see the people who had their schedules under control. There we were on this island dissatisfied, empty, frustrated, overwhelmed and stressed looking for something to fill the void. (If you are stuck on this island, you cannot stay there.) Then one day, the time came. I no longer wanted to have a list in my hand of things that I would never do, but instead wanted to make my day back and make real monumental progress in my life.

Here are the three shocking reasons I was able to control my daily schedule, and why you should too:

1. Distractions steal your dreams

“Guard your spare moments well. They are like uncut diamonds. Throw them away and their value will never be known. Enhance them and they will become the brightest gems of a lifetime.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

If you want to achieve greatness in any area of ​​your life, you must protect the free moments of your day. Instead of being idle in moments of opportunity, use those captured minutes to invest in your dreams. 15 minutes of your day over the course of weeks can have a huge impact on developing a skill or talent that you never imagined possible.

Facebook, Instagram and Candy Crush are stealing time that you can never get back.

2. Unclear priorities will waste your life

“If time is the most precious of all things, wasting time must be the greatest lavishness.” Benjamin Franklin

When your day begins without a definite purpose, your actions will be dictated by the winds of change. This means that you will pay attention to what looks the most eye-catching and eye-catching right now. The combination of this time, like 15 minutes used forever, will accumulate a ridiculous combined figure that could add up to years of your life. We often hear people ask for more hours in their day. Instead of wasting more time, how about we waste less of our lives on things that offer us no value?

3. Lack of organization makes it inefficient

Dedicating a little of yourself to everything means committing a lot of yourself to nothing. Michael leboef

Without a plan for your day and the proper organization of your time, you will find yourself doing many things but not making progress. You will jump from item to item doing a small increment of work, but never enough to make an impact. Many people confuse being busy with being organized. If you take the time to schedule your day, life can be less hectic and more efficient.
