398-Best of July 2021: Time Reflection (3-of-8)

We’re replaying our most popular episodes from the past year.  In case you missed it or want a reminder, here is the most listened to mini-series in July 2021.  

 

Part of happiness (gratitude, appreciation, joy, contentment) whatever you want to call it, is reflection and identifying the time when you felt joy, meaning or satisfaction in the day. All of those feelings contribute to our happiness. So, we need to reflect on how we spend our time.

Welcome to Everyday Happiness where we create lasting happiness, in 2 minutes a day,  through my signature method of Intentional Margins® (creating harmony between your to-dos and your priorities), happiness science, and musings about life. 

 

I'm your host Katie Jefcoat and in this series on time affluence, the questions we need to ask ourselves first are; how do we spend our time?  Does it bring us joy?  Can we Marie Kondo our time (you know, the magic of tidying up book)?  

 

Today, we need to review how we used our time over the last few days.  What activities brought you joy, meaning or satisfaction? And then, ask yourself for each activity, do you want to do that again?  

 

Now, I know I am going to get messages from listeners about hating their job, and how they don’t want to do that again tomorrow.  If that’s you.  I invite you to lean in and go deeper and see if you can find parts of your work that you do enjoy.  Perhaps it’s a colleague or a task?  If you just can’t get there, then put the job to the side and work through your non-work hours.  

 

Part of happiness, gratitude, appreciation, joy, contentment, whatever you want to call it, is reflection and identifying the time when you felt joy, meaning or satisfaction in the day, all of those feelings contribute to our happiness.   

 

Tomorrow, we are going to take the reflections, thoughts, lists that you have identified from these questions and get into the hacks to more time affluence by first talking about funding time.  

 

So, review how you used your time over the last few days? And then ask yourself for each activity: 1) did it bring you joy, meaning or satisfaction, and 2) do you want to do that again?
