Let’s say you have a certain amount of money you’ve saved up for holiday gifts. If you want to get something for everyone on your list, you can’t spend much on any single purchase.
But have you ever heard the expression “time is money” ? There’s some truth to it! We “spend” time just like we “spend” money, and in both cases, we have to spend it wisely if we want to get something good in return. Just like you might get an allowance of 10 dollars a week, or 30 dollars for a trip to the mall, each day we are given 24 hours of time.
The earliest way to help you get everything done to budget that time! This is all about:
Examining your Have-to’s and Want-to’s and how much time they’ll take up.
Working out a plan that lets you spend the right amount of minutes or hours on each one.
Once you have this plan, a “time budget”, you’ll be better able to create a Daily Schedule and Weekly Planner. Of course, every day isn’t exactly the same as the next, so it may help you to make a different time budget for different days.
Let‘s look at a sample time budget on Wednesday

Great! That day’s budget works out, because it all adds up 24 hours. If the total came out to be more than that, we would have to choose something to cut back on or drop from that day. When you make these types of decisions, you choose priorities.
