I will say what no one wants to hear or think about: Your time is your life. Use your cancer-enhanced awareness to make the most of it.As a speaker and author who specializes in the concept of clutter, I don’t just talk about stuff management, I talk about time management (also known as life management) too. The weird thing that seems to happen with aging and for someone with a cancer diagnosis is that time speeds up just when we want to savor it the most. Spending your life and time wisely comes down to your priorities.
After receiving a cancer diagnosis, many of us are confronted with a lack of time and energy. What do you do when you feel like you’re struggling to keep up? Are you guilty of making these common time management mistakes? As the fall season approaches, time management can feel more difficult as summer’s warmth, energy and daylight trickle away. As people with cancer, it can be challenging to try to appreciate and live in the moment when the future is one big question mark. Here are a few of my own suggestions based on trusted time management principles and my experiences with cancer.
