Reorganize Your Life & Focus on What You Love
I recently read about this study conducted by Nobel Prize recipient Daniel Kahneman. He believed we would all feel a lot better if we spent our time more wisely. He conducted a diary study with 909 women in Austin, Texas. He asked them to record all the activities they did during the day and then rate how happy they were while doing them. He then had them narrow the list to their least favorite activities.
Time Monsters~
What is a time monster you ask? We all have a lot to juggle in our lives, and sometimes the things we know we should do get put on the side burner. We know we should get more exercise. We know we should start acting on the novel we have always dreamed of writing. We know we should face our emotions instead of simply overeating. Time monsters come in handy when they support you in avoiding all the things you deep down wish to pursue. We can make up good excuses.

Of course this time of year doesn’t help, but generally speaking, are you someone who is busy or someone who tends to be bored? By nature, I am someone who tends to be on the go all the time. I have many projects going on at once, and I get anxious when I don’t keep busy. I am realizing this is not a totally bad thing.
