Whether you’re a student starting out or a practiced professional, the message that you probably get from the rest of the world sounds something like “Achieve everything.”  Day in and day out, you are bombarded with images of men and women from all over the globe, people who seem to have everything: prestige, position, and of course, money.  And it’s almost certain that, at one point or another, you wanted deep down to be like them.  But believe it or not, your hurried and harried lifestyle in today’s tech-connected and frenetic world might not lead you to the comfortable lifestyle of your dreams. 

Priorities, Priorities

Have you ever wished that you could be in two places at once?

People today want to do too much.  You have to be at a meeting by this time, but only after a family engagement two hours prior, and you have to leave by a certain time to make it to a social gathering afterwards.  All too often, the different aspects of your life – your career, your family, and your social life – have time demands that overlap each other.  At those times, you probably try to be in as many events as possible – to make the most of the time, supposedly – and, thus, feel worn and tired by the end of the day.

Instead of gathering all your appointments and then rushing through as many of them as possible in the course of a day, prioritize.  Set which ones precedence over another.  For example, you could set family reunions ahead of business functions, which could then be set over social gatherings.  Sure, you might not be able to get to as many events as with the other paradigm, but you get to do more and enjoy more at each event because you’re not so pressured with time.

A Change of Pace

The statement that 24 hours is insufficient in a day is a common complaint all over the world.  You’re not the only person who wants to do more, and so you’re not the only person rushing from one meeting to the next, reading papers and writing reports frantically in between.  You probably also bring some work home so you could supposedly do more for the day.  However, a very thin line exists between ‘hardworking’ and ‘overworked.’

Make sure that you take some time to slow down in each day.  Set a certain period, such as the hour immediately after you arrive home from work, to be your time for rest and quality time with the family.  Don’t let your days become just a single continuous blur of work just so you could earn more income because that sort of lifestyle could actually end up endangering your life with stress-related conditions.  Many studies have also proven that you’re sharper and more efficient at work when you take half an hour to an hour’s rest a couple of times throughout the day.  And you can bring that all the way to the boss.
