Do THIS if you want better relationships

Published

When my kids were younger, summer was my favorite time of year because we got to spend even more time during the day together: making breakfast as a family, taking trips to the nearby beach, and playing board games are some of my favorite memories.

Now that they’re older, we still make it a point to spend quality time together. This time with my family rejuvenates me and grounds me in what’s really important in life.

In fact, without my family to always come home to and lean on throughout the course of my career, I would not have had as much drive and support to find the success that I have.

Consider this…

If you work a full-time job, you see your coworkers, clients, and customers more than you see your family every week. In the end, jobs and people come and go, so do NOT take your family for granted. 

It’s important to cherish the time you have with your loved ones as much as possible. They should be a priority in your life. But creating and maintaining strong relationships, family or otherwise, is not always easy.

Here’s something else I want you to think about when it comes to making the best use of the time that you have.

There are 4 rules of time:

  1. Time is perishable – It cannot be saved, only spent. So the only thing you can do with it is spend it differently. Allocate some of that time to your loved ones.
  2. Time is indispensable – Everything you decide to do, even looking out the window or sleeping in a few extra minutes, requires a certain amount of time. Plan in advance to reduce the amount of time it takes you to do the things that are the least important to you.
  3. Time is irreplaceable – Time is the only currency that means anything in your relationships with your family, friends, colleagues, customers, and coworkers. Create blocks of uninterrupted time to spend with the important people in your life.
  4. Time is essential for accomplishment – Every goal you want to achieve, everything you want to accomplish, requires time. When you set a goal, sit down and allocate the exact amount of time that you are going to need to invest to achieve that goal.

So decide today that you are going to spend more time face-to-face with the most important people in your life.

That’s all from me this week, but I’d like to leave you all with this quote:

The more you think about the use of your time, the better you will become at managing it effectively.

To your success,
