We all have dreams or things that we’ve always wanted to learn, but somehow never manage to accomplish them. Either it’s learning a foreign language, starting a blog about a hobby or improving some skills in a certain domain, there’s a lot out there each one of us has the desire to accomplish.
Some complain about not having the time to do it, while others follow their dreams. What’s their secret? What are their priorities? How do they manage with their time? Do they have more time available, or do they make time for things that are important to them?
Nobody really knows the answer. Because following your dreams is all about you and your actions. I won’t tell you what to do to accomplish your dreams. But I can tell you what’s stopping you from getting there:
1. Bad time management
The main excuse that people find when they want to do something but don’t manage to is time. “I’m so busy that I don’t have the physical time to do it”, or “I don’t even have time for myself”. While that can be true in some cases, in most of them it’s just making excuses.People rarely work at 100% capacity. I know persons that have all their day filled with activities and others which don’t do much of a thing besides the daily struggles for making a living. Neither case is healthy. It’s good to keep your day busy, but not until you reach exhaustion.
Also, being caught daily in the same routine certainly kills creativity or any desire for personal development. Try to find an equilibrium between the two. Of course everybody is tired after a busy day, but instead of sitting in front of the TV and watching some sitcom you might as well reserve that hour for something you always wanted to do.
