Here’s a simple and effective way to create more time in your day:
Stop paying attention to the news.
You can choose how to do your news blackout:
- Total news blackout. No exposure to the news whatsoever.
- Limited news blackout. Only look at one source of news for a set number of minutes per day.
- No news for a day. For a week. For a month.
No matter where you get your news (news websites, newspapers, television, social media, radio, etc.), staying away from these news sources will give you a lot more time in the day. You’ll also notice a sense of freedom – that your thoughts are your own and you’re not being influenced by the often-negative reporting of the news. Many people say they’re more focused and positive when they stay away from the news.
If you read this suggestion for creating more time and say to yourself, “There’s no way I could do that,” then this is absolutely a MUST for you to try. I predict you’ll be delighted by the results.
