SAVE 1 HOUR A DAY - Do More With Less Time

1. Introduction: Hello, Eunice here, and I am super excited to welcome you into this brand new course for learning to save up to one hour a day. Imagine if you're able to save up to one hour day, what it can mean for you in a week and what it could mean for you in a month of what it could mean for you in a year. This is the opportunity for you to dive into rediscovering all the things that you could do and also reconnecting yourself with time, with moment, with the present moment, and with your focus and energy and attention. And the reason why I actually plan this course was because I've always been the kind of person who felt like I was running against time, like I never had enough time. I was always running short of breath. I was always forgetting things, misplacing things. I was always like having to reschedule and push back on things because it couldn't meet the deadline. I had to cancel on people. And I did everything I could like imaginable. I literally I wouldn't learn all the time management skills. I would learn to meal prep, to do things ahead of time, to sleep later. I would wake up earlier, I've skipped showers. I would return return like one less email as soon as possible. So I did everything I could to manage my time and also prioritize the important things that I needed to do in the day. But for some reason, I learn all the time management skills. But for some reason, I always felt like time was running against me and it was never favorable. Then on the other hand, I also saw that there were people who are just living their best life and things were happening for them. Things were unfolding for the effortlessly and easily and things were happening in due time. And that lifestyle was never for me. And so I went on his journey to investigate what is it really that makes time expand? What is it really about these people that, you know, that learn that the magic of time, that somehow they know how to expand their moment in time. So right now, after having learned all these things which I'm going to share with you, I have time for work of time to see my family, my friends socializing, cooking, like preparing my own meals and doing, doing things that I love, shopping, creating these videos and like really expanding my life into what I enjoy. I'm able to do them like twice as fast. Not kidding you. While I do all of this, I feel so grounded and so connected more than ever. And I feel like this is actually the kind of quality of life that we all deserve. Because in the end of the day it's not about trying to save time. In the end of day, it's not about chasing time. It's not about squeezing every last second of your life. If we were to do that, it would feel so exhausting. But it really is about making this moment that you have right here, that we have together right here, the most important moment ever. And making whatever it is that you're doing, the primary focus of your attention so that your attention is not ahead of time, behind time, you're not in the future, you're not in the past. You're not trying to process like other emotions while you're doing this thing. It's about mastering the current moment, mastering your relationship with yourself. In this course, we're going to approach it. We're going to tackle it very differently from the other time management courses out there. And I'm really going to deconstruct the idea that we need to speed up things, to do things faster too. And block out our time in a certain way because there is no one way to do it. There's no like there's so many different like time management skills on the climate. There's so many apps and tricks and tools that are for you out there and you can use whichever you wish that works best for you. But ultimately, we're going to tackle three things that are most important that I am going to address. I feel that is most important for you to regain your attention, regained your focus, and rigging your energy and ultimately convert that into time. The first thing we're going to cover in this program is number one, cutting loss. Letting go of energy leakage, letting go, of letting go of places where you're spending your time, where it's really not serving you. Letting go of energy trainers. Number two is learning to optimize your energy. So learning to manage your energy, learning to maximize your energy so that you have the fuel and attention to give to support you where your attention is needed. And number three is mastering their relationship with yourself. So I am super, super excited, like genuinely, I know this is going to change your life. I said, I know I say this about every single course for like, I know this is going to change your life. I know this is going to change your way of doing things. This isn't going to change the relationship with yourself. Our approach right here is not to control time, not to do things faster, but to manage our energy and attention. When we manage our energy and attention, we manage the world. So super excited to dive in. I hope you are as excited as I am. Let's jump in. I will see you on the other side. 2. Redefine Your Boundaries: By the way, I'm going to add, but these videos are really bite-size, digestible. So you can go through several of them. If you feel like you're really absorbing the information, you're really absorbing it and you feel like you can really implement that interior life. You can just like go through these videos, do the journal prompts, do the homework, implementation, and make sure that you are integrating everything that you are learning. Something I talk about right here does not resonate with, you, could just drop it. It doesn't matter. You don't have to follow this program to a t. So the first thing that we're going to talk about is re-establishing our boundaries. So reason why this is the very first thing when I talk about is because I realized that when it comes to time loss, energy loss, and protecting our time, actually, a lot of it actually goes to no longer entertaining the areas which are draining our energy. And one of them being the areas of protecting our boundaries and having to say, learning to say no to people, learning to re-establish these boundaries. That we're very clear what people can do, where people can engage with us when we are available for other people so that we're not like mindlessly giving our time away to everyone and spreading ourselves really thin. The reason for that is because when we prioritize other people and when we give or sometimes we unconsciously give her time to people. When someone calls or when someone tells you, Hey, I need some help. Or when someone like schedule something and then cancels last minute. The reason why this loses our time and energy is because every single time something like this happens, we get a little frustrated. We get a little like, what about the thing that I want to do? The less we're able to focus on the things that we want to do. The list happy we are. And the less motivated we are, the less joyful we are in, the less replenished we are, the more we are spending time for other people. That's where our time goes. And not only this is where our time is going, this is also where our energy, our attention, our emotion is going. So if you're not at a place where like, I already got this, like I already have done everything that I wanted to. I feel fulfilled. I feel I feel satiated from everything that he did today and I have energy to share. Then you're going to be giving from a place of deficit. So no matter if it's someone who likes to call you up and chat for an hour. Or if it's someone who a client who's late and always cancels last minute, who doesn't respect your time or a friend who arrives super late and like, always make you wait. Always makes you like frustrated. Or someone who always asked you to travel all the way to meet them, or someone who is not willing to meet up with you halfway, whatever that may be. This is time for you to ask yourself, and this is going to be your homework. I'm going to ask you your YouTube journal, this outer little bit and clarify this with yourself. Where can you establish your boundaries and what can you do to communicate your boundaries? Reinforce them, right? So when we find out where we are leaking our energy, where we are unconsciously giving our energy and time and emotions to other people. We can really bring that back in and help ourselves define, okay, this is my boundary and I'm going to protect it. I'm going to garden with my life and I'm going to stop losing my energy and my time for other people. When my cup is filled, when I feel fulfilled, then I can spend time with you. Then I can be extra flexible for you, or then I can make exceptions for you. But first and foremost, I am going to prioritize my time. I'm going to prioritize how I want to spend my time and my energy. And let's do something. Let's have an arrangement that works, that works for the works for me first, I'm going to protect this. And that is the first homework for you today. 3. Live With Intention: So the next area we're going to tackle is to learn to do things with intentionality. And I find a lot of times, especially for myself, in the beginning of my journey, was that I started to realize how much I was doing things just completely out of like autopilot. And I did things habitually. I did things because I thought I should or someone told me I should. And I did it just because I did it like really because of meeting someone else's expectations. Or maybe it was like a rule that's been passed down to me. And I just continued to follow them without reassessing like, if continuing to do this thing is really serving me. And this is where we will lose our time because actually we no longer have to do those things if we were to really think about it. If we were to really assess what our priorities and what is important to us, maybe we no longer have to do these habits that we're just doing automatically. The ovary when you talk about today is to learn to do things with intentionality. More to ask you to check your assumptions, right? Like what do you assume that you must do? Just because other people told you, then you need to do it. What do you assume that needs to be done? Just because you've always done it that way. And the reason why I'm asking you to check with your assumptions and check with your habits is because when we've done it for a while now and we've done it for so long. We're not even thinking about it. We're not even like reassessing it. And so this is the time for you to cancel out everything that you're doing just because or everything that you're doing just because you've been told that you should or you've always done it this way and therefore your continuing with that habit, right? So this is a time to let go of doing things to you because you feel like you owe people doing things because you feel like you need to return a favor or overextending yourself, especially because maybe you're doing it out of guilt. Maybe you do it, do it because you feel like you need to repay someone, right? There are so many areas, are so many things that I can cover. But ultimately, it's this feeling of like, Oh, I should do it. I've always done it this way. I've seen people do it this way, right? And really like checking with yourself. What are the areas in my life? This is going to be your journal prompt for today. What are some areas of my life where I feel like I'm adopting other people's standards over mine. And where have I been adopting other people's standards to continue to follow the rules are to please other people or to repay other people. What are some outdated rules or you feel like are no longer serving you that you're still living by. And we need to replace that with a new reality. We need to replace it with a new standard. So what are some of the new standards that you are going to start to implement in your life, right? So this, remember, this is your life, your time is your own. It is your, it is only your experience that matters when you're living on this planet. So really make it about establishing these rules for yourself. This is your homework for today. I will see you in the next video. 4. Protect Yourself From Energy Vampires: So the next thing we're going to talk about is learning how to protect your energy from energy vampires. By Energy Vampires, I mean, these are people who are creating drama, creating a scene, making things like difficult for everybody. Whether if it's like at home, at work, in your social group and your friends or relatives. Like anyone who has that, like has an obsession too, has an interest. And like just gaining your attention, gaining or energy by having a dramatic story to tell. And so the first thing to do is detach yourself from the situation. Like whenever there is someone who is creating drama or creating tension, like allowed herself to disengage into place or disengaging the conversation. Or disengaged in the the energy trainer or the tension that is stirring up in the conversation. If it's not easy for you to detach yourself from the place or excuse yourself. You can simply dissolve the energy drain or by diverting your attention onto something else, onto something a bit more positive, onto something a bit more peaceful instead of feeding your energy into fighting it. The first thing that you need to remember around dissolving energetic vampires is that when we fight the drama, usually it creates more of the drama when there is a negative person in the room per say. Instead of pointing out that the person's being really negative, you can divert the energy, dissolve, dissolve the tension by being an embodied, a different kind of energy yourself, or bringing in a different mood onto the table so that you don't have to actively push against the energy trainer, which is going to take more of your energy. So to not actively engage with it, not actively talk about it. To not entertain the conversation or entertain the people you don't have to be in is going to help you dissolve a lot of tension that otherwise didn't need to be there. The reason why this is such an important pieces because a lot of people, when they think about protecting their time and energy, they'd be taught, they think about the area which they can be productive and they think about the time where I'm allocating just to work or I'm allocating dressed to organizing my life, right? But we don't realize how much time has gone into us feeding into other people's stories or us entertaining the tension and drama that other people are creating. So this is one final piece that you get to just completely wipe out of your life and you're going to realize when you stop giving your emotions, your time and attention away to other people, you are going to get so much of your time, piece and mental space back. So the homework today is going to be a journal prompt. I'm going to invite you to reflect on what are some energy trainers can I cut out in my life like if there is an active person or if there is a situation that's been happening that you feel like, Okay, I've been fighting against it. Or I've been engaging in the story, or I've been entertaining the story. I've been listening or eavesdropping or a bin, you know, entertaining the drama of the other person. Realize that this is the opportunity for you to just put it down, right? Where have you been giving your emotions and energy and your time away to? And who have you been giving it away to? And how can you bring the power back to yourself? I hope you enjoy this journaling exercise if there's anything special that you find, anything like any breakthroughs that you find, please feel free to share that in the class discussion. I'll see you in the next video. 5. Develop Laser Focus: Okay, so in the following section we're going to talk about how to optimize your energy. And this means to turn your available energy, the energy that's already in your life, that's already in your date and turn that into something that you can actually use instead of losing it, instead of like diverting that into something else. So the first thing that I'm going to give you, as you've probably heard this before, is to do things one thing at a time. Instead of trying to keep ten things, can tabs open or to do multiple things at the same time. When you do multiple things at the same time, you're actually burning a lot more energy and you're actually using a lot more mental space than you realize. This used to be me. I used to be having a conversation with someone like typing an email and opening a chat with the person while trying to talk to my colleague. It's like when I'm switching between tasks and I think that I'm doing things faster. It, it creates this illusion that you're doing things faster. In reality, when you're switching between tasks, you are actually spending a lot more like at least a few seconds for your brain to catch up on like a weight was what was the thing I was doing before? Like let me get up to speed. And I made a lot of mistakes back then. It meant that I would actually spend a lot more time patching up for those mistakes. So what I started doing is I just started focusing on one thing at a time. And when I started to do that, it created a lot more piece, a lot more communists and a lot more like precision with everything that I was doing, I did it properly, correctly and without having any room for mistakes. So your homework for today is going, I'm going to challenge you to do one thing at a time and to only focus on one like one task at a time or one conversation at a time. So instead of keeping tabs open on your computer or metaphorically and your head, allowing yourself to just like process one thing at a time. And instead of having multiple apps running at the same time or toggle between social media and work e-mail. Allow yourself to just focus on that one conversation, that one task, that one email, right? And notice how much more efficient you are. Now I know that you probably have heard this before, but it's so easy to be caught up in the feeling of like, oh, I just wanna do it faster. So really challenge yourself. Like even if it feels really hard to implement this. Challenge yourself to give this a try and notice how much more efficient and calm you feel. 6. Your Time, Your Way: So I used to make this one mistake like a couple of years back when I was desperately trying to like squeeze more hours out of the day was that I tried to learn and adopt other people's ways of managing their time. In the beginning of this program, I've also mentioned that if anything does not work for you, just leave it. You don't have to follow this program to a T. And I actually mean what I say, because one of the biggest mistakes that I've made on this journey to learn to manage my time, is to trust other people's words more than my own, and to trust other people's way of doing things more than the way that I prefer to live. And so one of the most important things that you're going to take away from today's, today's class, you're going to realize that you get to do things your way. You don't have to listen to other people. Like you don't have to follow other people's ways of doing things. If you are not like a morning exercise person, you're not a morning person. You don't like to work on in the mornings or do yoga in the morning or take a bullet coffee in the morning. Like you don't have to, if you don't like to follow the Pomodoro method, which is like which is like a working 20 to 25 minutes and then taking a five-minute break and then working in those regular intervals. You don t have to do it, right? If you don't like to use electronic time management apps, you don't have to. You can just go back to your traditional pen and paper method of organizing your agenda. That is totally fine. However you like to manage your time is how you will manage your time. And instead of trying to cram yourself into other people's ways of doing things. You actually get to optimize, like how your energy works best for you. If you are a night person, like if you're a night owl, like myself, I usually don't go to bed until like one or two in the morning and that are those are probably my most productive and creative hours. That is how I will create. Except for this video right now, which I need some daylight for, right? But what, what I mean to say is, if you know yourself best, you know yourself best, and you know the rhythm of your life best. And learn to trust what is best for you based on your own preferences. The way that you like to do things, the way that you like to live, instead of cramming yourself into what other people tell you best for you because it has been most effective for them. And so your homework for today, this is going to be a lot of implementation. This is going to feel a bit scary to right? Because if you have been like, really used to doing like following, like other people's advice or suggestions on this is how you should manage your time. Then it's going to feel a little scary, but I'm going to challenge you to just embrace the way that you would like to do things. So your homework is to embrace the way you do things and drop the advice that does not work for you. It doesn't matter if that person is a Guru, it doesn't matter that person is an expert. It doesn't matter that person is like super successful. You do you you do what works for you. This is your permission slip. And don't bend your schedule just because some experts says that it's best for you. You know, what's best for you. And this is the most empowering thing that you can walk away with. This is what doing, what you know works for you is what is honestly is what's best for you. And let me know how you feel after having done this exercise. I can't wait to hear your feedback in the discussion section. 7. Define New Standards: So the next thing I'm going to talk about is dropping perfectionism. This is something that actually took me a little while to implement and learn. But the perfectionism shows up in so many ways, in so many ways and places in your life. And so this is probably going to take a bit of self-awareness and attention for you to really examine. Where are the places where you actually overextending yourself to reach that ideal of perfectionism. So this is something that I have worked on for quite a while in my life. And the perfection that shows up as ni, trying to fix something or me trying to do something over and over and over again or revise something just because I feel like, oh, it's not it's not good enough or I feel like I need to redo this just because I feel like it could be better or it could be it could be improved or it could be redone. And for other, for other people, it could be could show up in different ways. Like for you, it could mean that you think that the way you say things could be more clearer, or it could be more elaborate or it could be more, things could be more planned out. So maybe for you, it could mean that you'd be writing your emails over and over again or rewarding things are reworking your resume over and over again before you send it out. Or reworking a part of a project before you actually launch it. Or like making a plan that is like super, super elaborate just because you feel that, that perfection aside of you wants to feel the comfort of knowing everything is planned out to every last detail. So drop the perfectionism, whatever. However it shows up for you and really start to pay attention to how is this perfection is showing up in my life? And where can I stop letting it take control over me? So today's homework is going to be a journal prompt and I'm going to invite you to investigate in the form of writing, to really ask yourself, how do you feel like you're overextending yourself because you're upholding a level of standard that's starting to stress you out. Where in your life and what kind of standards are you holding so high? That is actually doing more harm than good, is taking more of your energy. Instead of actually just executing it and putting it out there. You're spending so much time just like revisiting it and reworking it, right? What is no longer working for you? Right? What is no longer working for you? And then we're going to replace it with asking you what is the new standard so that when we let go of an old standard, we also are spending, are also spending some thought to redefine what is a new standard that I'm going to implement from now on? So instead of reworking things over and over again, if I feel like it's actually just good enough, I'm going to put it out there. If it's clear enough, I'm going to put it out there. I'm not going to have to overextend myself just because I am married to an old concept and now I can adopt a new one, a new standard. And that's going to be my way of doing things going forward. So that is your homework for today. I hope you enjoy it. And I will see you in the next video. 8. Receiving Support: Okay, so the next piece that I'm going to give you is delegating work. And while this may be actually really easy concept like won't just take the work off my hands and other people will do it and then we'll get to save the time. This has been talked about. This is like a tip and a tool that a lot of people use when it comes to time management. But what other people don't talk about around delegation is the trust factor. I find that this is actually the one of the most important elements when it comes to delegating, to asking people to do the work for you. Because while this may be a very easy concept to just like, you know, ask people to do things and naturally I don't have to do it. And so naturally I just saved the time, right? Super easy. But when it comes to trusting people, here's where it gets tricky. Because learning from experience, the time that you don't spend on doing the work actually ends up going to the time managing people. Especially if you have a hard time letting your work go or if you have a hard time trusting people to do the work for you, or if you have a hard time trusting people to take care of the things that you really, really care about, then you're going to end up spending all that time that you don't do the work or you don't, you don't personally engage in that activity into managing people or micro managing people. And so learning to trust people is going to win you so much more time. It's going to win you back so much more time. Because when you trust that people are capable, they can do the work, they will fulfill their commitments. Of course, this is going to take some time to have the adjustment period. But when things actually get on track, you're going to realize that giving the responsibility to someone else, like fully given the responsibility to someone else, is going to take the stress and the attention and the time off of your back so that you can use the time. You can use a time that you otherwise would have used to manage other people to do the things that you can now engage in. So your homework is going to be asking yourself, create a list and ask yourself, what are the 123 things that I can delegate to other people that I can think off the top of my mind right now. You can start with one thing if you can't think of three. And also, what is it going to require of you to learn, to trust, to trust them, that they're going to do a good job. And also what's going to require a view to communicate that to them, to communicate the expectation. Whether if you're enlisting help from I'm a freelance website or a family member, or a friend or a neighbor. It doesn't matter. What can you hand off that you don't necessarily need to do that yourself? And what do you require inside of you? Like, what do you need to do to know that you can communicate your standards with them and also trust them. So I hope you enjoy this exercise. This is going to take so much off of your back and it's going to win you so much more time for yourself. I will see you in the next video. 9. Reconnecting With Yourself: Okay, So the third and last Foundation we're going to talk about is self-mastery. Here we're going to cover a few of the things to help you master the relationship with yourself. This is probably the most important part because all of the decisions that we're going to make, all the things that we do, all the ways of we spend our time ultimately comes from how we feel about ourselves and how we are able to process the feelings within ourselves. So the first thing I'm going to dive into is allowing yourself to process your feelings and your fears instead of hiding from it. Because a lot of times when we do feel a fear that is creeping up or when we feel there's a discomfort that is coming up. What starts to happen is that we start to do things to cope and drown out that fear or we do things to cope. And we drown out that uncomfortable feeling because it feels really icky in our body and we don't want to confront it and we want to run away from it. It's completely natural and I've, I've, I've done this plenty of times myself before. So instead of being like truly focused and dedicated and giving our full attention to what it is that we need to do. What ends up happening is we divert our attention onto something else so that we can feel better temporarily. So this is the coping mechanisms. For some people, it's probably watching TV or binge-watching TV or binge eating or binge shopping, right? Going on to shopping spree out of an emotional need instead of enjoyment. Like none of these activities are or are unique to coping mechanisms. But I'm just using that as an example. For someone who uses certain activities to drown out their feelings. So learning how to process your feelings and confronting them and sitting with yourself, even when it's uncomfortable, is going to save you so much mental space. It's going to give you back so much peace and actually give you the focus and attention that you need. You require so that you can give the attention back to the thing that you really need to do. So a journal prompt for today that's going to help you investigate and open up these, these thoughts is going to be very exciting for you to explore on your own and you've come back to it whenever you want, is ask yourself, what is running in the back of my mind that is taking up mental space. If you find yourself procrastinating. If you find yourself, like stalling on some things, ask yourself, what am I hoping to stall or avoid? What situation am I hoping to delay? Or what feeling am I trying to push away? What am I afraid is going to happen? Now, move on to a different section of your journal or a different page of your journal. And then ask yourself, what do I need to tell myself in order to know that I am safe? What do I need to hear from myself to know that I am safe? What do I need to tell myself so that I can feel soothed and reassured that everything is going to be okay. So spend all the time you need on this journaling and always come back to it if you feel like there's, there's something else that wants to come to the surface. You would spend a little more time here. And that's it. I hope you have lots of breakthroughs in this journaling prompt. Let me know what are some of the realizations you have. And I will see you in the next video. 10. Follow The Bliss: What I'm about to share with you is going to bring so much more joy back into your life. And I genuinely mean that with every fiber of my being. Because before I learned this, I was a person who like, I just wanted to cross things off my list. I want to power through my tasks of the day. I want to just get things out of the way. Like if it's uncomfortable, I'm just going to force myself to do it. But I realize there's actually a different way of doing things. And that way of doing things is actually bringing the enjoyment back into what I'm doing. It's bringing the joy back into my work, my life, my presence, being the moment of time when I'm actually engage with doing something. And so what I realized, my biggest takeaway from this experience was when we learn to enjoy our work and when we learn to create the enjoyment and create the joy and have the most fun while we're working, we're actually doing things twice as fast. I kid you not. What's really important around this work is like this. This is a work that actually takes place, right? It's not, it's not physical work, but it's like the work that we need to do within ourselves is to allow ourselves to create that good feeling. It's to learn to create an environment, right? Or learn to create this ambiance where I actually really enjoy this work or I'm having a lot of fun. I'm really enjoying how I'm creating this video, for example, or I'm really enjoying writing this post, or I'm really enjoying doing this thing. I'm putting my favorite music or putting on my favorite tea, or I'm putting on, I'm putting my favorite flowers to decorate the environment, whatever that means for you, whatever fun means for you. Obviously, it's going to show up differently for every single person. But you've got to learn to make yourself feel good. When you feel good, when you feel amazing, when you feel fun. That's when everything on leashes out of you and then you collapse. That's literally how fast it can happen. So your homework for today is going to be creating the environment that makes you feel good or creating the work flow that makes you feel good, or the way of working that makes you feel good. That is unconventional. Just you do it the way that you want. It could mean that you're putting candles or putting on a scent that you love or buying yourself flowers. Or it could mean that if you want to feel energized, then go out for a jog or a dual workout before you go to work? Or it could mean that you go out to a park and get something air and stretch your legs. Or it can mean that you're posting on Instagram and showing people who are life and sharing know bits and pieces where you find fun. So this is about coming back to the feeling of feeling great about yourself. This is the core feeling. This is like. This is, this is the end goal. And your productivity is always going to be reflected in how you feel about yourself. You're going to do it so much faster. So much more quality was so much with so much more efficiency. And you're going to see that this is true for you. If this is true every single time you implement this. So enjoy this exercise. Go out, have the most fun in whichever, whichever way you want to enjoy it. And let me know how you feel after this exercise. I will see you in the next video. 11. Come Back To Your Center: So the next thing that we're going to talk about is having clarity and spending time with yourself. Like this is probably one of the most underrated things that It's talked about in time management. There's always like all these tools and tricks to manage your time better. But in the end of the day, like if you are making decisions from a clouded mind and it cluttered mind, it doesn't matter how fast you do something or it doesn't matter how organized you are. It's like it's so hard to make good decisions, make good, sound clear decisions from that like peaceful place. And so I know there are so many tools that are shared amongst the self-development world, whether if you're spiritual or not, meditation is always a good one, the idea. There are also a lot of other tools to help you gain clarity, such as there's walking meditation, they're silent meditation. There's active meditation. You can do chores to clear your head. You can journal, you can meditate to music or by neural. These are like so many ways that you can clear your head. But ultimately, it like honestly, it doesn't matter what tools you use, what is your method, what is your preference? Ultimately, it always comes down to the ability to spend the time with yourself. I know, even though this sounds a little counterproductive, it's like, well, Eunice, you're asking me to spend extra time which is going to be in a time and investment outside of things that I'm already doing. But I can guarantee you that with the clarity that you develop with yourself when you process your emotions, when you actually spend the time with a voice in your head, you're able to sort through things so much faster with more speed, with more accuracy, with more clarity. So whether if you are spiritual or not, whether if you already have this habit or not, I encourage you. I continue to encourage you to spend the time with yourself if it's through meditation, through journaling, Through doing chores. Just like create this space for yourself, where you're spending it with yourself. Not with stimulation, not with TV, not with your phone, but just you and your thoughts. Not with you in a book, just only you and your thoughts. So your homework is going to be starting a meditation habit, right? If it's really difficult for you to start, then try doing music meditation or a walking meditation. Just like walk without being on your phone or having to be stimulated. Just, just walk. Just go out there and enjoy the presence in the company of yourself. Spend time with yourself, and start to make it a regular habit, right? So try doing it for at least five to ten minutes daily or if you like, do you want to really start seeing the results very quickly? Tried to do it multiple times a day. Again, this is going to be a time investment. But the rewards that come back to you as you, as you build this habit is going to give you so much more clarity and relief. So remember, the more you're willing you are to connect with yourself, the clearer your head is, clear your head is the better decisions you make, and the better decisions you make, the more time you will have. So I hope you will enjoy this exercise. Let me know how you find your meditations and connecting and spending time with yourself. And I will see you in the next video. 12. Productive Rest: I would say probably one of the most challenging things for me to learn is to honor my sleep and honor my rest. Instead of powering through my tiredness when I feel really, really sleepy. In my head, it oftentimes felt like when I tried to power through, I would be saving time by doing it right now. So then I can focus on other things tomorrow. I can do it right now, so then I can focus on other things later. But in reality, trying to power through your drowsiness, your tiredness, sleepiness actually takes twice as much effort. It burns twice as much energy. You're twice as frustrated and you're twice as slow. Whereas when I learned to prioritize my sleep and honor, like really listened to my body and I mean, like really listening to my body and really checking in with my body when I need the sleep, when I need the rest, or if I need a power nap to really just take it instead of convincing myself or reasoning myself that it's faster to just get it done and to prioritize my energy so that when I come back after the NAB or I come back after a good night's rest. I would, I would come back twice as energize and efficient and effective. And I would be like so much sharper. And so even though this is a difficult, it's difficult thing to do because it's going to require you to just like let the thing go and like push it off. It's going to mean that you're going to push it off until tomorrow. But you're going to regain the clarity. You're going to regain your energy. And your energy is perhaps, I know I keep talking about this over and over and over again. I emphasize on the energy aspect a lot. Your energy is the most important asset you have. Because your energy will determine where your attention goes. Your energy will determine how you feel as you're doing a thing. And this is going to affect, affect how you, how you spend your time in the day and how, how quickly you're able to do it. Your energy determines all of it. So your homework is going to be really assessing your sleep hygiene, how you are allowing yourself to rest, and how you're allowing yourself and listen to your body. How much you listen to your body right now. And then when the time comes, when your body needs a rest, allow yourself to just drop whatever it is that you're doing and go to sleep, go to rest, go to take that power nap. Go take that golden 15 minutes or 20 minutes, however much that you need and come back feeling more energized, instead of telling yourself to chugging up another cup of coffee, or to just wash your face, or to do anything else that is not honoring what your body needs. So that your body can, can continue to support you and give you the energy that you need to move forward. Alright? So I hope you enjoy this assignment and really learn to implement this. It's not just something that you hear and like walk away from. It's like, alright, this is the time to change and reassess my lifestyle. And this is how I manage my time and my lifestyle moving forward. So with that said, this is the final assignment. I will see you in the final video. 13. Final Thoughts: Welcome to our final and wrap up video. And I'm really glad to have gone through this experience with you, through this journey to reevaluate how you spend your time, how you spend your attention and awareness, and how you can actually be more connected and plugged in to the present moment. So that time itself expands for you and it works in your favor. Ultimately, being able to spend to save at least one hour or more in your day while enjoying your life more and having more presence in your life. So I wanted to just include some final thoughts as we wrap this up. And if there's anything else, there's nothing else that you take away from this course. I really want you to remember these things as you go back into your day and your life. And I find that time is really how we choose to experience it. Time is an experience. And what I mean by that is that I feel, and I find the time is actually not a measurement. It's how we have experienced something. So what we end up experiencing actually is the most important thing. Whether if we enjoyed it, whether if we were really present in the, connected, in the moment, whether if we were disconnected and we, what we, our attention was all over the place, it's really how we choose to experience it. And the more connected we are with any given moment, with the moment that we have right now, the better our experience is of it, and the faster it is done and completed, and the more we also remember it as well. So this leads me to really challenging you to redefine your relationship with time and your experience of time is that instead of measuring it by productivity and metrics and how much you've done and how, how, how quickly you've done it. Ask yourself if you can change this measurement to gauging how you experienced something and how connected you were with the moment, and how how you focused on your well-being and how you focused on your growth. Because the chances are if you are able to focus on all of these things and you're really connected to the moment. You'd, you'd be able to do things lot faster, a lot more efficiently and with a lot more pleasure and joy. So when you enjoy the things that you're doing and when you are having the time of your life. Like we said in the other video, you're going to do it a lot better and faster with a lot, with an amazing experience. So one final thought that I want you to take away is that we can always be more productive, right? We can always do more. Like back in the industrial age. We can always produce, produce products faster. We can always manufacturer things faster. But in the end of the day, like the only person we're left with when we go to bed at night, when we're really by ourselves is, is us. We are the only person that we truly experience our life width. So I really hope that this challenge is, this challenge is you to shift your perspective and your relationship with time. This challenges you to relate to time a little differently, to do things a little differently, to connect a little differently. And that is that is my offer for you. That is my gift for you.
