Are you tired of feeling like crap? Do you feel like there isn’t enough time in the day? Do you find yourself frustrated wondering why others seem to have so much time to do things and you’re always two steps behind? Do you feel like there is so much that you want to do, but don’t have the time to do it?

What would an extra 15, 30, or even 60 minutes in a day mean for you? Time to relax and read a good book? Time to start a workout program? Time to make healthier meals? How about time to cross something off your bucket list?

I don’t claim to be an expert at time management, but as a nurse of 20 years and a parent of 3, time management is something that is critical to keeping you sane! Check out the video below for a few of my tips for finding more time.

Thanks again for checking out the video and I know if you follow even these 4 simple steps you will definitely gain a few extra minutes in your day for things that YOU want to do, not things that you HAVE to do! Here they are again:

1. Make it a priority! If you really want it you will make time for it.

4. Deal with it! Things come up, deal with it, and move on to what is more important.
