Being consistent can be an everyday juggle but it can be avoided with the law of deduction.
The law of deduction is:
Monitor what has to be done, how much time it is taking, and how many resources is it demanding and then check how much time you are left with - to continue doing what you like.
For example, you monitor for 5 days waking up every day on how much time you take for doing activities. At the end of 5 days, you will realize oh I am taking 15 minutes to do this activity every day. I need to block this 15 minutes every day. Oh, I need this also, let me block 30 minutes for this. and so on.
After deducing the time like this, you will come across a real estimate of what you do with the time and how much time you are left with.
Take this estimate to evaluate:
- Does this thing need to be done every day?
- Can I do it only twice - thrice a week?
- Can I delegate this task to someone?
- Will doing this help me achieve my goals?
- Is it making me happy?
- Do I really need to spend 2 hours on Insta reels? Will doing this help me become better?
Do a careful evaluation of the time you spend and ask consciously what matters to you.
Deduce after that, what should definitely continue to take your attention and what should temporarily be not given attention.
This exercise of being aware of our conscious indulgence can help us decide to allocate time to things we want to do.
