personal side of time management.

* As in the work place, the personal side of time management begins with goals. Most people, however, are reactive to their use of personal time, responding to problems and opportunities as they unfold.
* As at work keep an activity log to record how you actually spend your nonworking hours.
* Create more personal time by reducing TV viewing, combining trips, shopping by internet or direct mail, and so forth.
* Outsource household chores that others can do more cheaply and better than you can.
* Material things absorb time and attention, so get rid of things that add little or no value to your life.
* Commitments are an important element of family and community life. Just keep them in line with your time budget. Periodically review your exixting commitments to determine whether they continue to provide meaning and satisfaction. Do the same with your relationships. Avoid reduce or terminate that which are unsatisfactory or fail to produce value.
* Physical fitness will give you stamina and energy, allowing you to do things longer and with less effort. If you are not fit do something about it.
* Work life balance is an issue that refuses to go away. How you handle it is your choice.
