FreeBusy: Quit Playing With Your Time

Welcome to our newsletter about balancing work and free time.

In today's fast-paced world, it can be challenging to find time for both work and leisure. However, it's essential to strike a balance between the two to maintain a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle. In this newsletter, we'll share one actionable tip to help you balance your work and free time.

The Tip: Schedule Your Free Time

One of the most effective ways to balance your work and free time is to schedule your leisure activities. Just as you would schedule your work tasks, you should also plan your free time activities. By doing so, you'll be able to prioritize your leisure time and ensure that you have enough time to do the things you enjoy.

Here are some tips to help you calendar your free time effectively:

1. Create a Weekly Schedule

Start by creating a weekly schedule that includes both your work and free time activities. Block out time for work tasks, such as meetings and deadlines, and then schedule your leisure activities around them. Be sure to include activities that you enjoy, such as reading, exercising, or spending time with friends and family. It's your show!

2. Be Realistic

When scheduling your free time activities, be realistic about how much time you have available. Don't try to cram too many activities into your schedule, as this can lead to burnout and stress. Instead, prioritize the activities that are most important to you and schedule them first. And leave room for travel time!

3. Stick to Your Schedule

Once you've created your schedule, it's essential to stick to it. Treat your leisure time activities as seriously as you would your work tasks. If you've scheduled time to exercise, for example, make sure you follow through with it. By sticking to your schedule, you'll be able to enjoy your free time without feeling guilty or stressed about work. Remember, every choice to do something is a choice to exclude something.
