How do You Reserve Time for Yourself?

This is a little question I was asking myself and realized I couldn't exactly come up with an answer to. So, how do you reserve time for yourself if you have a busy schedule? I personally try to book as many vacation days as I can, but as soon as they end, my brain gets tuned into working a lot.

 

um.

 

That depends on what kind of job you got, no? if you have a busy schedule then maybe, take a vacation XD

 

i'm still a student but the moment i'm out of school is basically a moment for myself, don't work at home unless it's absolutely necessary.
Also waking up early even in the week-end does make it feel 50% longer.

(If by time for yourself, you meant without family, feel free to ignore this comment)

 

I sacfice my sleep.

 

I do a lot of paperwork and try to get done with it as much as possible... and there isn't always time for vacations.

Whoa... to me personally, waking up early... arhhh....

doesn't everybody?

 

I only read manga and novels on the treadmill. It is called self-care. That way I am forced to at least do my 10k+ steps a day.

 

when i need time to myself i just naturally self isolate, but doing that tends to have an opposite effect on my well being

 

I take showers. Even better, sometimes I get in the shower and fall asleep there. Ultimate self-care

 

lmao... but argh... the prune you must be when getting out of there...

 

I just prepare the hand lotion and tissues.

 

for what?

 

I always reserve time for myself during the day even when I can't really afford to... haha

 

Same
Aside of the stolen time, I get time to myself while travelling to and from school. Not in the train cuz I chat with friends, but in the bus I don't really talk, I get lost in thought. I do that a lot during car rides too. That's my best introspection time.

 

I... I tried to reserve some time for myself. But nowadays, it's almost impossible... . Luxuriating in the tub for a bit longer than necessary, going to the salon on weekend, or shopping after work is the only thing i can manage recently

 

As a procrastinate-lover, college student, i'd say, taking time off from school and instead come here to read juicy novels or manhwas instead. Not that difficult, or i could just sleep directly lol.

 

i do everything as soon as possible and as efficiently as possible so i can be lazy later.

efficiently so i dont have to do things twice. asap so i can give myself stress free freetime. deadlines stress me out, and ruin my freetime if im not hacking away at the thing enough. like a hunk here this week, then a hunk there next week, lets me have a break. not doing anything for a week with a looming deadline poisons my free time

 

I don't.. what do you usually do reserving time for yourself? I mean, I'm always with myself no matter where I'm at. Haha!

Time for myself though.. did you mean time to do something that I'd enjoy? If you're very busy then you need to squeeze in a hobby for yourself that can be squeezed in between doing things, I suppose!

I really don't know what to tell you regarding how to go about doing things if you're busy because its always the standard 24-hours for all of us. At one time I was wishing that if only there was more than 24 hours that I could extend by stopping time or something to do everything I wanted to but its impossible; atleast for now! You can try managing your time better maybe but its really onto you to figure out how to adjust things to suit yourself.

 

I like chicken fingers too.

I don't reserve time, I don't have a schedule to be committed to.
I just cry and hope everything I hastily planned that needs to be done for the day works out, and when I'm tired, I just go do what I want to do for my time; even if it means the floors not being swept that day or the dishes not being done. Instant noodles it is. Time for my relaxation.

 

Usually will try to book off with public holiday for longer holiday, then weekend will have "Do not disturb Saturday or Sunday" where I don't touch any work and just sit in my cozy corner to read novel or play game.

I guess, I need alone time to recharge myself from all the human interaction on weekday.
