Working from home has led to a profound shift in how we view time.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
By Marina Khidekel, Head of Content Development at Thrive Global<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There\u2019s no doubt that the coronavirus pandemic disrupted our routines \u2014 but in doing so, it\u2019s also forced us to rethink our relationship with time in meaningful ways. As Dean Kissick writes in a recent New York Times op-ed, the opportunity lies in being able to \u201csee time afresh \u2014 as something we really don\u2019t have enough of, as something precious precisely because it\u2019s ephemeral.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We asked our Thrive community to share the unexpected lessons they\u2019ve learned about time during the pandemic, and about the strategies they\u2019re using to manage their time better. Which of these will you implement as we move forward?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unitask to get more done<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019ve learned during this time to avoid multitasking, which is an insidious form of self-interruption. You might think that you are saving time and achieving more by jumping between activities. Switching focus between different tasks drains energy from your working memory which is the information held in your mind while deciding what to do. So, what we think of as multitasking is just toggling between one thing and another, and it ruins your focus and depletes your energy. A smarter way to work is to purposely focus on one task at a time with regular planned breaks. You\u2019ll be amazed at how much more you can accomplish.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSince the pandemic started, I\u2019ve had to share my working hours with my three-year-old daughter. Initially, I was stressed at the thought of the constant interruptions. But then something magical happened: I realized that it\u2019s not about how much time I spend on a given task or project, but how much value I\u2019m getting out of it. This helped me tremendously in prioritizing what brings me the most value, and as a result, I can now do more than I used to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try time-blocking<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTime-blocking has become my ultimate friend during quarantine. I used to save writing and blogging for the end of the day or when I had \u2018free time\u2019 and then, of course, it didn\u2019t happen. Now, I time-block an hour every other day in the morning in my planner and when that time comes, I immediately shift gears and start writing. I\u2019m more alert in the morning, and knowing I only have an hour to dedicate to writing keeps me focused. I\u2019ve become more prolific in my writing, and I will definitely keep this habit post-quarantine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014Tara Bethell, founder and CEO, Phoenix, AZ<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be more mindful of screen time<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI used to lose a lot of my time to my smartphone. I would check my emails and scroll social media whenever I had a few minutes between meetings or while I was in line at a store. During this time, I\u2019ve realized all those small moments add up quite a bit throughout the day. I\u2019ve decided to become more purposeful with how I spend the smaller slots of time during the day, so they aren\u2019t lost by automatically catering to notifications and feeds. One minute is sometimes all you need to reflect on something that has been on your mind, to meditate, or to do a quick breathing exercise. Or perhaps shutting off from work and looking at a funny meme your friend shared is exactly what you need at the time. You will never know unless you become conscious of how you\u2019re spending your time!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implement the \u201cFour C\u2019s\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith huge fluxes in both my energy and motivation during this time, it suddenly feels like every task takes longer to accomplish. Therefore, I\u2019ve recently enhanced my usual to-do list with the \u2018Four C\u2019s\u2019: Create, Contribute, Collaborate, and Consume. Each day, I make sure I complete one creative task, find one place where I can contribute, stay connected in a socially distanced world, and consume one podcast, article, or event that will elevate my work. It keeps me going and growing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Determine where you can\u2019t spend your time<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe best time management tool I have adopted is planning my week in advance \u2014 and in order to do that, I first plan out where my time cannot go. I take my calendar and start by including everyone else\u2019s schedule that I\u2019ll need to consider. This includes my kid\u2019s school lessons, homework, activities and meetings. This gives me a realistic snapshot of the upcoming week so I can plan accordingly and manage the expectations of myself more realistically. By managing my time in this way, I have cultivated a mindset of time abundance, which doesn\u2019t mean I have unlimited time, but rather that there is sufficient time to accomplish what I need to. I can visually see where the gaps are, so when I get interrupted during the day by unexpected disruptions, I can take a deep breath and know there are gaps in the day or later that week where my work can fit into.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prioritize what brings you joy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI used to prioritize my time based on what needed to be done instead of what brought me most joy and peace. When you\u2019re constantly chasing the hands on the clock and trying to complete tasks, you stop experiencing life and you just go through the motions instead. Now, with the forced pause, I\u2019ve started to value my time and how I utilize it. I appreciate how much more fulfilling my days can be if I prioritize activities and habits that generate joy, instead of ticking tasks off to-do lists. I have become a lot more patient as a result, and I\u2019m also more focused and more present.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014Marjan Oloumi, human resources, Sydney, Australia<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ditch the autopilot<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBefore this great pause, I was on autopilot. I was not only plowing through work, but I was using personal time to do things I didn\u2019t really want to do. I used to pride myself on working 12-hour days like some warped badge of honor. As I toiled away, I did not realize how much I was losing. These last few months have taught me that I have taken time for granted. As a result, I am now selective about how I spend my time, both personally and professionally. In April, I drove to Maine to assist a friend in need. I stayed at a nearby cottage alone, without TV or wi-fi, and I suddenly became acutely aware of time. Those four days of semi-solitude were a gift, and now, my time management is defined as choosing wisely. Going forward, managing my time means being selective, respectful, and happy when allocating precious minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs a time management coach, I think about time all the time. But what COVID-19 has taught me is how to be more inclusive in my time management strategies in terms of thinking about not only what works for me, but what works for my family. We\u2019ve switched up bedtimes and start times [for the workday], and we\u2019ve realized that the most crucial key to our success is having a visible schedule for each member of the family, kids included, so that everyone knows what everyone else is doing and when. That way, we don\u2019t interrupt each other during important meetings or classes and we avoid the havoc that interruptions cause on our workflows.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
