For many years I chose to do many activities at the same time. Despite the many benefits of this, there were also disadvantages that made me question how to organize myself better and thus obtain better results.
Dedicating yourself to multiple activities has its benefits, such as avoiding monotony and having a high level of learning. However, the big problem is that it becomes humanly impossible to reach your maximum potential in each of them. Even trying your best, there will always be the limiting factor of your health.
With this in mind, I decided to list and categorize all the activities I was dedicating myself to, categories such as sports, study, work and others. Within each of them, there was a prioritization based on my goals and the number of hours per week per activity to which I was dedicating myself.
With the main objective of achieving only 1 activity per category, I managed to achieve the minimum possible number of activities for each of them, and thus eliminated activities that were previously overlapping and taking up attention from more important ones.
For better organization, I also defined periods during the day in which each of these activities could be fitted, in this way the “studying” activity could be allocated to both morning and evening periods, thus providing flexibility.
Organizing your activities and having a routine may seem boring to many people, but the point is not to be rigid and inflexible, but to have a direction and dedicate yourself to what will bring new achievements in your life.
