168 hours a week: how to GO GREEN & be happy with the time you have

March 17, 2009

220px-clock_in_kings_crossPeople who get the most out of their time tend to focus on their “core competencies” — the things they do best at home and work, and that other people cannot do as well; they ignore, minimize or outsource most other things.

People who are satisfied with how much time they have focus at work on high-impact projects that get them where they wish to be going. At home they focus on nurturing loved ones — and less on housework.

In your personal life, do you focus on what makes life better: exercise, sleep, hobbies, volunteering, connecting with friends, family, community etc?  Or do you find yourself spending time on activities that disconnect you from friends and family like watching TV which don’t correlate with happiness?

This spring, let me encourage you on doing more of what you do best, and relaxing about the rest. Instead of checking out, check in–participate in ways to make the world a better place for all of us, volunteer, spend time with family and friends out doors. There’s a lot of important work to be done, a lot of it fun, we could use your help, and it will make you feel great to be a part of something larger than yourself!

    I guess I spend most of my free time on either my social life or blogging.

    I suppose that seems to keep me happy.
