Time and Priority Reframe
Tired of Saying "I Don't Have Time"? Try This Powerful Reframe ⏰
We all juggle a million things, and saying "I don't have time" feels like the easiest response. But is it really true?
Here's the magic: When we use the "priority" frame, we own our choices.
Try it:
Saying "my health isn't a priority" feels different than "I don't have time to see the doctor," doesn't it?
Saying “my career isn’t a priority” is very different from “I don’t have time to do my CV”
Saying “my relationship isn’t a priority” is quite different from “I don’t have time to spend quality time together”
Changing our language reminds us that we are always at choice.
This language shift sparks self-awareness: If saying that doesn’t feel right, that’s the point. It's a sign to re-evaluate your priorities. If you don't like how you're spending your mornings or evenings, you can choose differently most of the time. If you don’t like your job, do something about it. Make it a priority. Your future self will thank you 🫶
This reframe is incredibly powerful. Acknowledging that something is actually not a priority can free you from that pressure, you can delegate the task or take it off your to-do list altogether. But most importantly, when it feels off, that’s your cue to revisit your priorities.
Ready to reclaim your time and boost your well-being? Coaching can help you:
✅ Identify your priorities: What truly matters most to you at this time of your life? Recognising that our values and perspectives change as we age, build a family and the time to do the things on our bucket list gets shorter and shorter is key here.
😫 Ditch the excuses: Understand what’s holding you back and find the compelling motivation to make it a priority!
⛰️ Set realistic goals: Break down big dreams into actionable steps. We often overwhelm ourselves in a moment of excitement and overcommit to something unsustainable, only to beat ourselves up later for not sticking to it. I have a great tool for this that I use with my clients every day ✨
🪴Build healthy habits: Create routines that support your priorities.
Remember we don’t manage time, we manage ourselves around the time we have.
So don't let "I don't have time" hold you back anymore. Invest in yourself and create a life or career that reflects your true priorities.
