You work.

A lot.

And when you finish work, then you work some more.

You reply to emails. You do the dishes, make dinner, do your laundry, walk the dog. You do people favors and take care of your loved ones because you are a good person, but at the end of the day you always end up with no time for yourself.

Or maybe it’s not even about work.

Maybe you simply watch the days flying by, wondering where the hell all your time went. You punish yourself not only because you weren’t productive, but because you were so numb and lost in space that you didn’t even get to enjoy yourself.

It feels like you’re missing out on life.

I know how you feel. I have been there.

And the most amazing thing is, I got out of it. No magic. No herculean efforts.

Today, I will tell you the story of how I overcame my lack of time and freed up over 10 hours a week to do the things I want, by using only one simple tool that is available to you too:

Journaling.

Suffocated, Hopeless and Exhausted

That was me, for most of my life.
