Respect for time, and how precious and finite it is, is vital to understanding how to relate to your own time, and that of other people. I’ve listed three ways to start learning to respect your time if you’re struggling in this area:
Determine what “urgent” means in your life and work. We all have different jobs where urgent may have different levels of meaning. Urgency for a brain surgeon means something different than urgency for a webmaster. I’m not suggesting that your urgency be any more or less important as it pertains to your job. I am saying that everything, no matter what your position in life, cannot fall into the category of urgent. Making all things extremely important means that 1) You’re never quite able to prioritize and 2) You’re never quite able to relax.
Stop making yourself accessible at all times. This was a lesson I had to learn during the year or so I spent working strictly freelance. Because I didn’t have “set” work hours, I gave clients an open door to contact me, pretty much whenever, and they did. I will admit that there was also a little part of me that was scared to lose clients by setting boundaries. It wasn’t until I realized that I was up on the phone until almost midnight talking about flyers that something had to change. I set hours, and lo and behold, everyone else adjusted accordingly. No matter what, you have to make time to be off limits.
Respect other people’s time. Treat other people how you want to be treated. Does your concern truly warrant interrupting someone else’s vacation, weekend, or family time? If it can be emailed, chances are the answer is no. Think about what would happen in an ideal world. In an ideal world we would be able to go to work and work and come home and make at least some time for our personal lives and families. If we start respecting our own time, and that of others, in that “ideal world” kind of way, maybe we can start taking the steps toward creating it.
