Work Life Balance

It's going to be Monday again!
How good if I can have another
off day. I have this strong feeling
towards Monday especially on
Sunday night.

My current job is on 5:2 meaning
work for 5 days and off for 2 days.
I am targeting at 4:3 because I
wish to have more time for myself.
The fact is, there are only 24 hours
a day. Therefore we need a tool to
guide us how to utilize the the 24
hours a day.

To achieve this, I wrote down all
the activities and tasks for the
past one month. Categorized the
items in the list under work, social
life, exercise and personal time.
I tried to estimate time taken for
each activities weekly.

By having this information in hand,
I will have a rough idea on the time
taken for each activities, the activities
that consume most of my time (56 hours
sleep and 50 hours work), how to
achieve more time and what activities
need to be reduced?

Sometimes, we might overlook at the
time we spend in doing household
work, window shopping, watching
television etc. To have more time,
delegate the work to our family
member to share the load. For
example, wash the toilet, clean the
house, clean the ceramic filter etc.

Reduce the frequency and time taken
for shopping by accumulate things to
be purchased in a list.

Reduce the visit to bank by gathering
all the utility bills and pay online in
one shot.

By tracking the daily routine, I
managed to pin point to the activities
that take up most of my time, those
activities that can be further reduced.
Thus having more time for hobby,
self improvement and the most
important is work life balance
