P&G Check-in: May 3rd - May 9th
Get more time for yourself !
Get more time for relaxation, reflection, spending time with your loved ones, following your hobbies, and enjoying life your way.
How ?
By making tough decisions.
Prioritize your to-do activities, and then discard the ones at the bottom.
Or move them to a “Maybe someday” list.
Peter Drucker, the greatest business management guru of all time, said that one has to make three groups of “things to do”. First, the urgent and important, or very important. Second the urgent but not that important. And last, things that would be good to do but are not urgent nor that important.
Then, do the first and forget the rest.
Another time robber is over-commitment.
Practice kindly saying “no” to most requests that would take your time. By having the courage to say something like ”I’m sorry, but I have a busy schedule, I would love to do it, but I can’t”, you value and respect your own time, the most precious good you have.
Accept that some things will be left undone and that you won’t look always super-nice to everybody.
Then, use your extra time in enjoyable, positive activities that make you feel better.
And be grateful to yourself for that.

Thank you for the check-in, Marcelo. It's really good seeing you in the community after a while ❤️ I hope you've been doing well
- How are you feeling these days ?
I'm feeling really good these days. Been a little more tired than usual since I'm not getting a quality sleep but I feel pretty good about life at the moment.
- What can you do to have more time for nurturing, enjoyable and healthy activities ?
I'm currently reading Atomic Habits by James Clear, the book is really helping me realize a few things, how some small acts of mine have accumulated to become habits and how they're taking so much of time off my day.
What I'll do to make time for the things I want to be doing - be aware where my time is getting used currently, promise myself that I'll only do 10 minutes of the task that I want to be doing, say a clear NO to seemingly excusable actions that pop up throughout the day, follow through with what I want to be doing and make sure that I make clear the tasks I have to do is time and location determined.
@lumieremilkyway
Great book! The instigator habit bit has been great for me. Picking a workout on my phone gets me up and doing it. I only have to convince myself to pick(:
@nordurnStar
hey, I am glad it has helped you so much! good job on having to just convince yourself to pick and get started with your workout! that's really good to hear 
🥬 How are you feeling these days ?
Oh, some of everything. Some excitement, mixed in there. Any of that is positive.
🥬 What can you do to have more time for nurturing, enjoyable and healthy activities ?
I'm starting this thing where I wait a half second before I start my next 'thing' (meeting, project, etc.) and I think "What energy do I want to bring to this?" The intention helps even if I don't think of it consciously during the meeting, but it's especially helpful if things are kicking off and I can return to it as a touchstone/guidance.
@nordurnStar
I am glad you've been experiencing some positive feelings too, Nordurn!
And hey, that sounds wonderful! I think I will give it a try too! Thank you so much for sharing something so valuable, I appreciate it
Today I woke up with detonation. There are a couple of promotion opportunities coming around at work. So, I am throwing my name in the hat. More importantly for me, I am in a good mood through the first part of my roughest month. May is historically become a rough month for me due to losing my immediate family. My mother, father, and brother have all passed away. The month of May reminds me of them because my dad's birthday is on the 2nd, his and my mom's anniversary is the 3rd, of course mother's day is coming up, and my brother's birthday is on the 29th. So, with this back story, I have had times where I let the sadness defeat me. I don't feel defeated this year so far. I have thought about them and how I would celebrate with them if they were here, but I have smiled more this time around. To get back on subject, for me to maintain a healthy routine, I need to stay on top of my time management. When I manage my team correctly, I always get more done and feel better from a health stand point. Thank you all for your time.

I am glad you are in a good mood! Also, it's good that you're applying for the promotion opportunities, sending you a ton of good luck beams I am sorry to hear about the sad series of events that have taken place in your life, I imagine it has been very tough for you. The same time of the year can bring up some old memories which can be bittersweet to remember. A lot of days in this month to remember the ones close to you, I understand. I am so happy to hear that this time around sadness doesn't feel like it's defeating you. To hear that you've smiled more this time around, that makes me smile too, Zebra. This was a very beautiful, kind of sad but hopeful share, I am pleased to know that I did read on it.
Good luck with time management, I am going to work on the same thing! You are doing amazing, Zebra. I am rooting for you to keep on improving Hoping the coming days stay the same for you and bring you a sense of comfort and calmness. Sending hugs!
Happy Thursday!
