TRY THIS: AUDIT YOUR TIME Spend a week tracking how much time you devote to the following: family, friends, health, and self. (Note that were leaving out sleeping, eating, and working. Work, in all its forms, can sprawl without boundaries. If this is the case for you, then set your own definition of when you are officially at work and make extra work one of your categories.) The areas where you spend the most time should match what you value the most. Say the amount of time that your job requires exceeds how important it is to you. Thats a sign that you need to look very closely at that decision. Youre deciding to spend time on something that doesnt feel important to you. What are the values behind that decision? Are your earnings from your job ultimately serving your values?
