Organize your Life - Margins



No. 3
 Margins.

Can you relate to the stress that comes from squeezing activities too close together?
Have you found yourself rushing from one thing to the next?
Do you often have the feeling that you are not going to be on time?

A couple of years ago I heard about the concept of building more 'margin' into your day.
The idea of giving cushions on your time so that you won't have that rushed feeling.
Creating more time for the unexpected.

How do you create more margin?

Under schedule and over deliver.

Leave your home 10 minutes before you need to.

Question each commitment carefully.

Look at your week/month at a glance when planning.

Focus on finding more ways to slow down and recharge daily.



Join me Tuesdays and Thursdays this month for fabulous information,
 that will help you to "Organize your Life," when it comes to your health and home.

Where do you need to build more margin into your life?

  1. I think "lack of margin" is my biggest time management problem! I tend to underestimate how long things take.

    1. Ditto for me! I am working on over-estimating!

  2. I agree with Heather. I am always overcommitting and thinking I will have time to do it all. But then I'm stressed and frustrated and inevitably hostile to everyone. You have a great list of ways to increase margin in my life. I'm jotting them down! Thanks for sharing!
