"I" "Is it really possible to make time for
myself ?"
"Despite all my responsibilities?"
"Let’s say I manage to complete my own tasks on time. But I also have my child, my spouse, and other responsibilities. How can I possibly organize everything?"
We can almost hear you saying this.
Yes, it is absolutely possible to make time for ourselves.
There is a method to organize dozens of different tasks efficiently.
And yes, we can structure our responsibilities in a way that allows us to keep up with many things in life.
People often wish for more time. They believe that if they had more time, they could accomplish more tasks and fulfill their responsibilities.
"I have so many responsibilities; I wish I had more days off!"
"I wish my spouse could take some of my load!"
"I wish there were another version of me to handle the rest of the tasks!"
But is there something we might be getting wrong?
Is it really about not having enough time? If we don’t plan our days properly or lack an understanding of time management, even a 48-hour day wouldn’t be enough. Because the core problem lies with us. Is the problem quantity of time or its quality?
So how can we use our time effectively?

1) Setting Priorities
One of the biggest mistakes we make and perhaps the main reason we feel like we don’t have enough time is failing to set our priorities.
For example, let’s consider three tasks: One is a task we enjoy and find easy. Another is a responsibility we must complete. The last one is something urgent that needs to be done immediately.
If we start with the easy and enjoyable task first, we will have less time left for the urgent one. As a result, we will end up rushing to finish the urgent task, increasing stress and the likelihood of making mistakes. Afterward, we’ll feel exhausted when it comes to our main responsibilities, making us feel like we can’t keep up with everything.
In reality, this is just an illusion. Since we try to do things in a rushed and pressured manner, this will affect our mindset. The more we believe we can’t keep up, the more we procrastinate, causing tasks to pile up and become overwhelming. So, the main source of our problems is that we move closer to the things we love to do and get away from the things we don't like to do. That’s why we must set our priorities and build up an order: "Which task should I start with first?"
There are people who can achieve many things, have responsibilities in different areas, and succeed in doing so, right?
According to the Experiential Design Teaching we can transfer experience from successful people. This means it’s possible—we just need to know the method.
To set our priorities, we can follow these steps:
· Write down all the tasks that need to be done.
Important Tasks
Necessary but Not Urgent Tasks
Optional Tasks That Would Be Good to Complete
· Organize them accordingly and start immediately.
Waking up early, getting a few tasks done in the first hours of the day—these habits significantly increase the efficiency of the rest of the day.
If we feel like we’re constantly running out of time, the issue might not be our speed or the amount of time available. Instead, it could be a sign that we are dedicating too little of our time to productive work.
Waking up even five to ten minutes earlier can provide immense comfort. These extra minutes allow us to finish morning routines earlier, giving us more free time later in the day. If we maintain this consistency, we will start noticing visible improvements in our daily life. As these five-to-ten-minute adjustments grow into half an hour, then an hour, we’ll find that tasks become easier to complete, and we even have time left to rest.
Once we’ve optimized our time, here’s a tip to speed up our workflow:
Break tasks into smaller parts.
Is it easier to break a single branch or a bunch of branches?
If we divide our work into smaller segments and start with just a tiny portion, it will be much easier to complete. Jumping into a task all at once and trying to finish it in one go requires high concentration and a lot of time. It's like trying to swallow a big bite at once. However, breaking it into small pieces, acting quickly and completing a small part of it will speed us up when we get to work on that task later. Because we've already started some of it!
If a person wants to achieve something, they absolutely can, as long as they know the right methods.
