We all have areas of our lives we want to change.

Maybe we want to eat healthier. Maybe we want to lose 20 pounds. Maybe we want to read more often. Maybe we want to spend more time with our family.

Whatever it may be, for us to add a positive activity we must eliminate something else.

We all have the same amount of time in a day. If you’re conscious of where your time is being spent, you must eliminate the negative habits.

For you to focus on losing weight or creating your business you have to figure out what activities and actions you take most often on a daily basis.

Maybe you can watch TV for 30 minutes instead of 1 hour. Maybe you play video games once a week instead of every night. Maybe you order groceries online instead of shopping for 1 hour twice a week in the store.

If you want to add a habit or project to your plate you’re going to have to take something away.

Do you want to read more or learn an instrument? First you should track your time and see what activities you do the most and if they’re positively or negatively impacting your life.

Reduce or eliminate the activities that don’t positively influence your goals and life.

Focus more on adding beneficial activities.

You have the time in your day, you just have to use it wisely.

“Successful people maintain a positive focus in life no matter what is going on around them. They stay focused on their past successes rather than their past failures, and on the next action steps they need to take to get them closer to the fulfillment of their goals rather than all the other distractions that life presents to them.” -Jack Canfield
