Habits Matter: How to Build Better Habits for Better Time Management

Our habits shape our entire lives. From waking up early, to drinking your coffee on the way to work, to reading the kids a bedtime story, habits are the nearly invisible building blocks of our lives.  And because they shape our lives, they will most certainly shape how we manage our time, too.  So how can you build the best time management habits you possibly can?

They say that we become what we do…and I couldn’t agree more! Our time management habits are critical for shaping our everyday life

And we all have them. Some are good, some are bad, and some are just there — like drinking your coffee on your way to work. Or reading your kids a bedtime story. Or waiting until the last minute to fold your laundry because it’s your least favorite chore. 

Our habits shape our entire lives. 

In fact, studies show that we spend around 40% of our day just doing habits! They are the nearly invisible building blocks of our daily life, therefore, so so important. 

But…what do they have to do with time management?

Habits and time management go hand in hand

Think about it…if we have good habits, we likely have good time management. But if we have bad habits — like maybe scrolling through Instagram too much when we’re working on a consistent basis — then we might have bad time management.

And because our habits shape our lives, they will most certainly shape the way we manage our time, too. 

So how can you build the best time management habits you possibly can? And how do you make them stick around?

Well, the truth is that there’s no “top 100 best habits list” or anything like it out there. Like many of the building blocks of better time management, it’s not a one size fits all solution. 

But don’t worry! In this episode, I’m talking about what’s needed to find all that out, plus:

  • What truly makes something a habit
  • How habits connect with time management
  • How can you build habits that support better time management
  • A few of my favorite time management resources to help you get there
