Trying to find more hours in the day? Robin Sharma, productivity guru and author of The Daily Mastery Podcast, suggests a contrarian approach to time management. By changing up when you do daily tasks, you can reduce your stress levels and open up more time for yourself and your family.
Beat the Crowd: Think Outside the Box
Robin Sharma advocates doing things at different times than the rest of the world.
Instead of leaving for work when everyone else does, try leaving earlier or later.
When running errands like grocery shopping, try going to a 24-hour grocery store or go early in the morning or late at night when there are fewer people.
If you want to go to the movies with your family, pick a time when most people aren’t there.
Time Saving Benefits
This strategy can help you save time while also reducing stress levels.
You won’t have to wait in long lines or battle traffic jams.
When you’re done running errands, you’ll have more time for yourself and your family.
Enhancing Life Quality
But this isn’t just about saving time.
Making contrarian choices can also help make life more enjoyable.
Instead of being stuck in traffic, you might be able to take a leisurely drive or enjoy a peaceful morning walk to work.
When you go shopping, you’ll be able to browse without worrying about crowds or lines.
