Personal Best Health Wellness - Exercise Time Management

Try the timing trick.
Estimate the time for a task — then double it to allow for interruptions. If you finish sooner than you guessed, you’ll feel as if you’ve found free time. Thought: Use those extra minutes for a quick “stretch session.” You’ll boost your circulation and recharge instantly.

Manage memos in minutes.
Instead of writing or calling to reply to short correspondence, jot down your comments in the margin of the memo when feasible. Smart: Whenever you finish a task involving handwriting, flex your wrists by gently bending back the fingers of each hand.

Put things away.
It’s estimated that people spend up to an hour a day searching for misplaced items. Keeping files, tools and supplies organized can get that hour back. Use some of the extra time to breathe deeply and relax. You’ll already feel calmer in your nice, neat surroundings!
