When what you want to do is not Happening, because of time Shortage
Remind yourself that you cannot manage time; all you could do is manage yourself against time. How you spend your time determines what you make out of your life. You must appreciate that everyone of us has 365 days, 12 months in a year. The same way, our week is of 7days, no less, no more. Each one of us has 24 hours, 1440 minutes or 86,400 second every day, no more no less. Why is it too less for some people and too much for others? How can winners do everything they want to do in that time and the losers cannot?
List Down all the things you do daily. Evaluate each activity by asking yourself , ''is this something that would help me become or achieve what i want to. You would surprised to note most things we unconsciously do have no correlations with what we want to achieve.
List the activities you must do in your life; going to office, staying late there, eating, drinking, talking a shower. These are things that we must do to survive, not necessarily important in our life (first category)
List things you like to do, but find no time for them; morning/evening walk, talking evening classes, reading (second category)
List all the things that fall into neither first nor the second category. This will include things like watching TV, going out for shopping, chat with friends, family, (third category)
Decide on what you are going to replace from the third category with the things in the second category.
Tell your spouse and children about it and seek their support. It is also a good idea to make it a family event, if it is possible or to combine various things together, spending time with with family with evening walk with your family. with this you will win over the support of the family, too.
Make a specific plan using SMART way, as we discussed earlier, and announce it to your friends, family etc. For example, I will fit into 32 inch-waist trousers by losing 10 pounds before my 35th Birthday, on March 18, 2002.
Break down your objective into weekly targets, losing three pounds in the first week.
Use PPP (pain, pleasure, principle) to associate pain with inaction and pleasure with desired result.
Write down on a paper and hang it on a wall you see many times a day..
Ask your spouse and children, etc. to remind you if you forget about it..
Monitor daily/ week progress.
Buy yourself a gift or ask your spouse to present you with something when you achieve your weekly targets..
With each passing week, continue giving week away your old dress, 36/38 waist trouser. Buy and start wearing trouser of 34/32 waist. You will barely fit into those and it will continue reminding yourself that you need to lose weight. It is also good to train your mind that your are never going back to that size and you have no choice now as you have thrown your old dresses but to be what you want to be..
Before every activity, ask yourself, ''Will this help me achieve my goal?''.
