Being busy is not a good thing. There are a lot of busy people producing absolutely nothing and getting zero return on their investment. Here is a big clue for finding balance and integrating your life:

Doing less produces more: more time for God, your family, self-reflection, and relaxation.

By creating a schedule that works for your lifestyle, you give yourself more quality time to enjoy each moment of every day. When you take the time to breathe deeply and feel the breath traveling through your body, you become refreshed and recharged.

Time with God is beneficial and necessary for proper balance. It is His plan that will help you to integrate your life and business for success.

The time with your family is precious. You should cherish every moment you have with them and use your time together to strengthen your relationship through love, gratitude, and support.

If you are serious about finding the balance necessary for a better business and more fulfilled life then refuse to over-schedule yourself. Do not allow yourself to become too busy in life. By balancing your time, you can give attention to those things that matter most; like God and yourself. When you keep your mind focused and pay attention to the most important thing you will be better able to focus on each area of your life and give everything your very best.

When you balance your time effectively, your work improves, your family is respected, and you feel happier and healthier.

In your schedule, be sure to include time for God and self-reflection. This enables you to grow and improve. You need to also give a high priority to “me time” and relaxation in my daily plan. Your life will become richer because of the quality time you give yourself.

Don’t be ashamed to give yourself this time because you are worth it and everything in your life is made better when you are good to yourself.

Today, try to focus on creating a schedule that is right for you. Not everyone can create the same exact schedule but everyone can have a schedule that works for them.

The purpose of creating this schedule is not to fill I up with busy stuff. The purpose is to find balance for your life and business.

Here are some questions to consider as you create your schedule:

Have I created me time in my schedule?
How do I typically over-extend myself?
Have I taken the time to sit back and enjoy the day?

Integration Tip: Using the Google calendar is a good was to look at your daily schedule on both the life and business ends. For me it allows me to see what is most important for me to do, what I can outsource so that I have quality time to do those things that matter most.
