Time Management Issues..

Hey girls/guys… I need some help with time management. I can’t seem to find time in my day to exercise. And when i do exercise my housework suffers.

My typical day (mon - fri ):

  • 6am -7am getting ready for work
  • 7- 8 driving to work
    8 - 4:21 work
  • 5:30pm get home and cook dinner
  • hubby comes home at 6
    7pm - 8pm dinner and wash dishes, clean kitchen
    8-9 other house work ( wash clothes, dusting etc)
    9:30 bed time

on the weekends, it’s usually dawats and sleeping in cos i’m so tired from the whole week.

I want to go gym, and i want to study. i deferred my studies for 3 years and now i want to complete my course. I asked my hubby if he can help out somehow like look after the kitchen a couple of times a week but he said no.

So i don’t know what to do… please help!

Bed time at 9:30? Wake up at 5am and do your exercise.

Everyday wash clothes and dusting? Cut it down to weekly.

Re: Time Management Issues..

5:30am's namaaz and quraan time... and not every day laundry and dusting, sometimes it's ironing or other household stuff. My hubby's a neat freak and can't stand the slightest bit of mess, and it irks him if i'm sitting down for a minute and not cleaning

Well, since you're already UP at that time, why not wake up at 5 and do your exercise. You don't HAVE to perform the namaz at 5:30, kafi time hota hai subha namaz ke leye.

You have to do what you have to do, squeeze it in.

Since you work and assumingly contribute tot he household expenses and income, does he help you out with housewsork at all?

If he really hates seeing u sitting down fora minute and not cleaning like some maasi, then u have more issues than just time management.

Sara... yeah.. as i was typing that i kinda realised that it's more his issue with the cleaning than mine, now that i can see it in writing, it kinda hit me

btw.. typical ma da laadla... no housework at all when we got married, but i've trained him a bit, he cleans the car, the garden, rubbish duties and lo and behold he can now turn on the washing machine! ha ha

thanks ppl for your input and motivation

Re: Time Management Issues..

Time management is a big issue,you make a schedule for that and first a take a 8 hour sleep is a best for a health and it needed and take a healthy meal and also a do exercise and then do a your all work is a good,do all that you like and mostly eat all item what you like but you also do exercise then is a best for your health,perfect time management is a good for all.

Re: Time Management Issues..

i think you should consider squeezing in half an hour either at the start of your day or the end. that way you have all the things HE needs to be done and can do your workout AND use the time for some 'meditation'

Re: Time Management Issues..

I sat him down and told him if i don't do exercise he's gonna end up with a unhappy balloon instead of a wife. So i've been going to gym since last friday, and so far so good, house work is just okay too. I do some laundry or something when i come back so he hasn't been complaining yet.

Re: Time Management Issues..

Oh wow! props to you! :)

I think you have to give up some daily activities to give way for this activity.
