Tips to Making More Me Time

• Just say ‘no’: Learning to say ‘no’ can free up your time. This doesn’t have to mean completely

refusing to do all your tasks; instead, it’s all about considering whether other people’s

demands on you are reasonable or not.

• Establish boundaries: If people have overstepped the mark with you in the past, then it

makes sense to establish some clear boundaries and let them know that you’re not prepared

to put up with certain things in the future.

• Break your routine: Breaking habits can significantly reduce your load. Routines can be

useful provided that the things you are doing are really worthwhile; however, if they’re not

worthwhile, then try your best to break them and establish new routines.
