How to spend more of it on things you want (and need) to do—

and less on the unimportant stuff!

What does “time management” mean? September feels so busy, doesn’t it? That back-to-school feeling makes life seem a little more serious. You might think, “So little time, so much to do!” That’s where managing your schedule comes in. Look at your days and take stock of what occupies your time. What’s helping you reach your weight-loss and other healthy, happy goals—and what’s getting in the way?

Once you flag those fun but unproductive “time sucks,” you’ll be able to eliminate or manage them (games of “Candy Crush,” maybe?) and make room for what’s truly important to you: Spending time with family and friends, learning a new hobby, taking care of yourself—or all of the above.

How does it help? Prioritizing your daily to-dos (and identifying those time sucks!) can make it easier to stick to your food plan. How? You’ll have room in your schedule for food shopping and meal prep. (No more last-minute drive-thru dinners, phew!) It may also help you spot windows of time for physical activity. You can get to bed earlier and sleep longer. Not surprisingly, getting a handle on your day can help you de-stress (and that, too, plays

into weight-loss success!) And it can allow you to enjoy

time with the people you love, doing activities you

especially enjoy— and live the

healthy life you envision.

2. Helpful activities that support the “rocks”: tracking meals, doing laundry, food shopping.

4. Trivial pursuits. Multitask: Exercise in front of the TV; online shop on your train ride home.

3. Valuable life enhancers that can slip into your day. Think: reading a novel, calling your mom.

1. Most important: “musts” like work, family, health—plus meals, sleep, physical activity.

WHat to do: MAx YOur TIMEEnvision a large jar into which you fit, first, rocks (life “musts”), then pebbles (to help life run smoothly), next sand (nice extras), lastly water (little stuff). The idea? Put the rocks in first! If you focus on little stuff first, you can miss out on the quality time you need.

old tHougHt “I’m so busy taking care of everyone else, there’s no time for my needs.”

NeW tHougHt “I can’t take care of everyone else if I don’t take care of me. There are tasks I can delegate, or eliminate (forget ironing sheets!).”

to do tHis Week • Track where you spent your time yesterday; with the activity on page 3, it can help you identify and make time for important things.

• What I want to accomplish this week:

I always find it helpful to wake up early enough

to relax with a cup of coffee and gather my

thoughts before hitting the ground running.
