Time blocking is the main way I am able to get anything done, nowadays. It has not only helped me to be more productive and get rid of those time wasters, but, I am now able to make more time for myself by scheduling it.
There is no reason why we shouldn’t be spending time doing what we enjoy. Not every day will be perfect, of course. There will be times when our kids and our families will need us more than normal. Kids get sick, we get sick, anything can happen. But for the most part, we should be spending at least 30 minutes a day on ourselves.
I think it is essential, not only for our happiness, but for our overall mental health.
