How to find hidden time in your schedule (for real)
The standard 24-hour day feels like it’s getting shorter and shorter. We’re all chasing expert hacks or miraculous tips to carve out an extra 60 minutes into our schedule—often to our detriment. Sleep four hours a day so you can fit in yoga and reading before work? Sure. Drink smoothies for every meal so you don’t have to worry about meal prep or waiting in restaurant lines? Doable, but definitely less delicious. While these strategies can result in time saved, they also compromise your health and wellbeing. There’s no reason you can’t sleep a full eight hours and feel like you have enough time to accomplish everything you want to. There are moments in your day that could possibly be re-aligned to your most productive hours. Instead of experimenting with extreme measures, try four simple tweaks to your routine in order to identify hidden time in your schedule. You may only save ten minutes here and there, but in aggregate, these pockets of time add up.
