In the past, when I tried to work more hours to increase my success and spent less time with people I love, I quickly lost a sense of purpose in life and got depressed. I highly recommend making relationships a priority and putting them on your ideal day framework.
Relationships are what make life worth living, so don’t take them for granted.
#5 Personal Growth The fifth core component is personal growth and development. When you grow as a person, you feel better about yourself. Plus, your life improves, so it’s a double win. I can attribute a lot of my own success to books I have read, courses I’ve been through, and from things I learned outside of school. Learning something new should always be a goal. Create your ideal day with these components. Now that you have the five core components, you can use them to create your ideal day. How you shuffle them around is up to you. For example, on my workdays, I like to do my “self care” time block first thing in the morning, between 6 and 8 a.m. If I can, I listen to an audible book to learn something new while I exercise or while I have breakfast and coffee. Then I go to work between 8 to 9 and normally come home around 6 or 7 p.m. I spend the rest of my night resting, recharging and spending time with my wife.
As things in life change, you may have to move the core components around to make it work for the stage of life you’re in.
Schedules change a lot, but if you always make time for these 5 core components, you will have a balanced life.
