The one thing no one can buy is time. Yet some people seem to be able to achieve so much within 24 hours. According to Mumpreneur
you have many things that will try to hijack your day, but the key to staying ahead is to stay in control.
We can’t add any more hours to the day, but we can choose how we spend the time. When you find yourself stressed, rushed and
behind in the day, take note of what led you there. Are you saying ‘yes’ to things that you could be saying ‘no’ to. Prioritizing is the best way
to ensure you managing your time wisely.

Now that you have written down all your activities throughout the day, you can also make note of any occasions where you could
have used time more efficiently. Perhaps you’re procrastinating over something, or taking more coffee breaks than you realised. Whatever it may

make in your own personal habits that would free up more time.
A great tip to work in some exercise during the day is to have all your equipment/clothes ready to go. Early in the morning or at the end of the day,
lay out your workout clothes (with shoes and socks) so they are ready and waiting for you to get changed and get going. By placing the fitness
equipment in a space that easily accessible and comfortable, you’re more likely to make the most of it.
