Maximizing your Time Matters

Have you heard the viral terms of maximizing yet?! Things like fall maxing or sleep maxing has been all over the internet so let’s talk about it and why it may be a trend but we can take a few things from it and apply it to our every day life.

So what is this maxing idea?

It’s exactly what it sounds like. Sleep maxing is the ability to get the most out of your sleep and add any word to it and you’re supposed to do the most to see the most return. We live in a time when people prioritize the hustle over everything that these trends are supposed to bring you to the highest level of calm. So for sleep maxing you may see people use things like a hatch to help with watching their sleep time.

Other ways are to make sure they incorporate a night routine that aids their body in going to sleep better. Things like sleepy time tea, journaling, use of eye masks, etc. All of these things are to help you get the most out of your sleep schedule.

Why Maxing Matters

Again I can’t stress enough that we do too much in the form of hustling. We stay up too early, wake up too early, and we aren’t eating well. Yet we all know that sleep matters as much as the nutrients we put into our bodies. If we concentrate on how we can max our time wisely we could possibly put the emphasis on how we can treat ourselves better.

Trends aren’t for kids

You might be saying to yourself that “these” kids are always making things up. You would be correct. However where we had the generations before us tell us that in order to be for example a good mother required we required to work our fingers to the bones, these “kids” said not on our watch. Thus the term of Soft life entered into the group chat. So where we think the generation of today is making things up if making it up gets us to see life is to be lived then hop on the trend.

Using Maxing to Live Life Abundantly

Today while getting my hair done which is a conversation for another day the girl doing it was taken aback by the fact that I’m on book 5 in a matter of days. People are shocked that I can raise a family, run a business, and find the time to read. I’ve learned to be creative. I carry a book in every bag I have. In addition I usually have a notebook and a pen on hand.

If I’m reading a book in a traditional sense that makes sense. However I also use Audible and make notes as I’m reading or listening to the book. There is downtime. I could be working listening, at the kids dental appointments is listening time, or simply while I’m not watching television is enough time to read. Again we have time but we aren’t maximizing it.

Lack of Time

Now while I have learned to utilize my time since I was in high-school some don’t have the same ability. I suggested to the young lady to set an alarm to read for 20 minutes per day. This means don’t read in your bed where you may fall asleep. Before you get into bed read. Maximize your time if this is a priority. Same with fall maximizing for example means you may do a fall activity for an hour instead of a full weekend of activities. Make the most of the time you have and slow it down.

What are you maxing?

If you can think of it there is a type of maxing. Today I saw 2026 maxing. It’s simply concentrating on what you need to do to make the most of what you have left of the year. See how the focus is on what you’re maxing for. Concentrate on what you need instead of getting upset about a trend. These trends can be over the top in how people complete them but the ability to focus on isn’t.

I’m maxing my book reading, balance, and self-care maxing because doesn’t that make sense for me. What do you need?! Whatever you’re seeing as something you could do better in that’s your maxing concentration. You don’t have to record it. Simply be about it and make it happen. Happy maximizing and getting the best out of your world.
