Too little time

Many of my current clients are struggling with a similar issue - too little time and too much to do in it.

Time management and how to effectively take control of what we do when is a common theme in much of my coaching. So many of us seem to have such busy lives with several, often conflicting pressures on our time.

One client I'm working with is trying to wrap up her current job before starting a new role, and finding she's having to deal with issues from both her present and future work at the same time. She had been finding her current role very stressful and demanding and had little time for herself, her husband or her friends. She's made huge strides through her coaching and despite her current 'double' workload, she's managing to take charge of her work and home life and is even finding time for herself.

Another client had her life completely out of balance - with no time and little energy to feel on top of anything at home or work. Needless to say, she was feeling exhausted and a constant failure. With work on how she views herself and her life, and some practical strategies for managing her workload she's already feeling much calmer, less stressed and more in control of what she does and when she does it.

The work-life balance of another client was completely out of kilter - he had huge expectations of himself which meant he rarely achieved what he set out to achieve and he felt stressed and exhausted much of the time. By helping him to see how he was sabotaging his own success and giving him tips and techniques for looking after himself he's starting to feel more relaxed and recognising that changing the way he approaches his time will mean he finds time for home, family and himself as well as his work.

I'm very privileged to work with fabulous people such as these who realise that things have to change, and to help them find a different and better way. I can't describe how wonderful it is to coach someone to the stage where they are able to change the habits, behaviours and thought processes that are limiting them so they are off and flying. Suddenly their load becomes lighter and they approach their life with renewed energy, motivation and confidence.

As time management is such a common issue, I'm sharing some practical tips on this in my newsletter. If you want to receive tips on this and other common themes, sign up for my free newsletter on my webpage http://www.ejlifecoaching.co.uk/
