The Time Finder with Paula Eder

The way you use your time is the way you live your life.

Finding Time by Being Flexible!

Posted on June 30, 2008, under Time After Time.

Finding time often involves adjusting to your own particular needs and style. I recently had an interesting response to one of my Finding Time Tips.

The tip was:

TIP: Tap the power of visualization to help coordinate your life.

ACTION STEP: Review your to-do list before going to bed, and visualize your next day. If your ‘trial run’ reveals possible logjams, jot down ways to overcome them. You’ll sleep better!

In her response to my tip, Julie wrote:“I like visualizing as a way to ‘plan’ but doing it right before bed does not help my sleep. It just makes my mind run with contingency planning and things to remember, even if I write them down.”

Here’s my response to Julie’s dilemma:I’ve got several suggestions for you to try!

If visualizing your plan the night before keeps you awake, try another angle. For example, at night you might want to find an affirmation and repeat it like a mantra before sleep. It could be something like, “I sleep deeply and awake refreshed.” You might find this very helpful as a nightly ritual.

Also, try planning in the morning. For your visualization, try finding one area that you’re excited about … or even apprehensive about. Visualize yourself being successful or plan by making a list without visualizing.

Good luck – and let me know how this works for you!

Let’s explore time together …
