Start your planning now, start with the routine things. Use colour coding to help you see at a glance what it is you are supposed to be doing and when.

Green: Life Admin
Blue: Work
Yellow: Social Time
Purple: Health: mental, physical
White: Spare Time
Time management is the linchpin that everything else balances on. Get that right and you are halfway there. What you fit into your time will be individual, but if you start with what you know and work from there it is easy to manage.

Now, back to wasting time. The below activity, Yesterday, is a great way to reflect on how you are spending your time and what you are achieving. But it also allows you to identify areas of improvement.
Give it a go…
