Donata White on How to Get the Most Out of Every Day

Published: May 25, 2017, 4:58 a.m.

If you\u2019re like a lot of my readers and listeners, you more or less always feel like there isn\u2019t enough time in the day to do everything that you want to do.

You might even feel that your life is totally out of balance and walk around in a constant state of anxiety about what you\u2019re doing, not doing, should be doing, shouldn\u2019t be doing, and so forth.

Well, I know how that goes, what with writing a new book, running several businesses, raising a family, and so forth, and while there are deeper discussions that can be had about purposes, priorities, and perspectives, a great place to start on the problem is simply time management.\xa0

In short, if you make a few simple changes to how you spend your time every day, you might be shocked at how much more you can get done and how effortless and enjoyable it can feel. As you\u2019ll see in this interview, this is really low-hanging, common sensical stuff that, for whatever reason, very few people actually do.

And to break it all down for us, I\u2019ve recruited personal trainer, attorney, and time management coach Donata White to explain how we can get far more out of the 24 hours that we get every day than we\u2019re used to or even thought possible.

As you\u2019ll see, she outlines a simple productivity strategy that starts with asking yourself a few questions and learning to prioritize your time, and then moves into implementing a few basic but powerful productivity strategies like time blocking, minimizing transitions, eliminating distractions, and more.

We also talk a bit about how all these things apply to health and fitness, namely meal planning and building a sustainable exercise routine.

So, if you could use more productivity and less stress in your life, I think you\u2019ll find this interview helpful.
