The Time-Satisfaction Scale

Greetings all!

Do you feel that you have enough time to do everything you need to do and want to do? Most people I know will probably emphatically say NO! 

But what do “I am so busy” and “I do not have enough time” really mean? Busy with what? Enough time for what?

Well, remember my POST on Tranquility by Tuesday by Laura Vandekam? In it, Laura provided a Time-Satisfaction Scale that I found so incredibly helpful! How about pausing your Instagram scrolling to consider the following:

  • Yesterday, I had enough time for the things I wanted to do.
  • Yesterday, I got enough sleep to feel well rested.
  • Yesterday, I made progress on my professional goals.
  • Yesterday, I made progress on my personal goals.
  • Yesterday, I had enough energy to handle my responsibilities.
  • Yesterday, I was happy with how I spent my leisure time.
  • Yesterday, I did not waste time on things that weren’t important to me.
  • Generally, I have enough time for things I want to do.
  • Generally, I have enough energy for things I want to do.
  • Overall, I feel good about my relationships and my progress on my personal priorities.
  • Overall, I’m making progress on my professional goals.
  • Generally, how I spend my time aligns with my priorities and values.
  • I regularly have time just for me.

What did you think? Drop me a line!
