If you had one more hour every day, what would you do with it?
We recently asked a group of around 300 special education professional from the Lewsiville (Texas) Independent School District that question. Here are some of the answers we received.
If I had one more hour every day, I would…
…exercise. …sleep.
…do Yoga.
…work out.
…play with my dogs.
…clean up.
…read a good book.
…make a puzzle.
…pet my cat.
…make more jewelry.
…tap dance.
…make beads.
…plan.
…meditate.
…spend more time with my kids.
…spend more “fun” time with my kids.
…relax with a glass of wine.
…write my dissertation.
…spend more time with my family.
…be sure my house is always clean.
…walk outside.
…plan a sail to Europe.
…spend more time with my 3-month old and my mom who has stage-4 cancer.
…volunteer my services to needy people at an adult day stay.
…walk my dogs.
…start classes for a master’s degree.
These are real answers from real people. The point is this—when you implement the tools from this workshop, you save—conservatively—an hour every day. An hour a day less spent looking for things, being in doubt about what needs to be done next, dealing with the consequences of forgetting, or feeling the stress of a world that is harder than it needs to be. An hour more to do the things we would like to do.
