If you have a Monday through Friday job then you already know how restricted your time is during the week. Your mornings are spent getting out the door so you can be at work at your desk by 8 am. Your evenings are spent as a caretaker to your family. Your nights are spent grabbing a couple of minutes of personal time while you get off your feet because you have spent your day giving of yourself to others.

Nobody is more interested in your happiness than you. Start living intentionally.
Take a moment and think about how your day unfolds every day. What actions are you taking from the moment you wake up until you lay your head on your pillow at night. If it is anything like most people your day probably goes on autopilot and looks something like this:
- Get up to alarm. Dread throwing off the covers
- Clean up, eat, help get the family out the door, get out the door yourself
- Work through a series of tasks and appointments pushed at you by your job
- Watch the clock and get happy when the end of the day has arrived
- Head home. Decompress. Eat. Fit in some personal time
- Sleep

A Simple Time Management Hack You Can Implement Right Now
We talk a lot about time management in this crazy world of ours. “There is a never enough time to get done what we want to get done”. Our calendars are stacked with appointments from 6am until 6pm, and sometimes they are double-stacked.

Meditation: It’s not just for the gurus
Set aside time today for quiet reflection. Take a pad of paper, a writing instrument, and find a quiet place in your residence . Sit with your eyes closed and focus on your thoughts. What is making you happy, what makes you deeply unhappy , and where do you want to be in a year.
When you think about the unhappy places in your life, look for solutions. You will have to change your attitude, or change the situation. But don’t accept the unhappiness. Nobody deserves sorrow.

How You Should Feel at the End
Do you ever reflect on the past ? At some point all of us do. That is the reality of learning from mistakes and growing. But at some point you are going to be old and gray. You are going to have the chance to retire, sit around, and reflect on the amazing life you lived. You will be able to look back and smile about the people you met, the friends you made, and the experiences you took in.
Think about that day right now. How will you reflect on your life? Are you taking the right actions now so you will be happy on that day?

To Do More, You Have to Care Less
I want you to repeat a new phrase with me “I choose not to care”. I use that phrase whenever there is a discussion that I am involved with and the outcome is good either way with me. I’ll let somebody else care. As long as somebody cares about each issue, the issue will get covered.
We have a limited amount of time, a limited amount of energy, and a limited amount of emotions. Chooses your battles wisely. Fight for the important reasons, not the cosmetic or ego-based ones.
Say “I choose not to care” more.
What do you think? I’d like your comments below.
