Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeart radio.

Good morning. This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast.

Today's tip is to set a life maintenance time. By having a spot on the calendar that you generally

choose for life maintenance tasks, you can make steady progress on these and keep them from

taking over your life. I recently realized that I was past due for a number of life maintenance

things. My hair needed to be cut. I needed to visit the dermatologist. My car needed its annual

inspection. I needed to get my eyes checked and get new contacts. We all need to go to the dentist.

There are different schools of thought on how to deal with this reality. Some people might

try to schedule everything at once. But taking days off to deal with all your personal life issues

can make you feel even more behind at work. Or you feel like you are using vacation days for stuff

that is not really fun. And not everyone can take whole days off with limited consequences.

So I am a fan of a different method. Aim to take care of one life maintenance thing every few

weeks or maybe once a week if you're catching up. Ideally, choose a particular spot during the

week that is your first choice for scheduling such things. That more or less works with your work

schedule. That way, you know there is a time that generally works that you can ask for and that

you can build into your schedule and into your expectations. There are many potential options here.
