Think about the things that make you happy. It can be going to the beach, having time for a hobby, being able to travel, or even something as simple as sleeping in an extra morning per week. Now think of how you can find the time to do the things that make you happy. With that, we come back to the dilemma of not having the time we need to do the things we love. Finding that extra hour or two in the week can seem like a futile task when our modern lives have every moment scheduled and accounted for.
Find the Time!
A recent article in the New York Times cited a National Academy of Sciences study that suggests spending money to save time reduces stress and improves overall happiness. For instance, if you spend a few hours a week making sure that your home is completely spotless, and instead outsource those few hours week to a San Diego cleaning service, you have freed up several hours per week to do things that make you happy. If grocery shopping and errands to stock the fridge, pantry, and school supplies take a few hours per week, why not make Amazon Prime your go-to for everything from baby diapers two week’s worth of groceries? Take that time and spend more time with your family or doing things that you want to do. You can even outsource your commute to a rideshare service like Uber or Lyft.
What Will You Do?
Once you hire that cleaning service for your San Diego home, have Amazon covering you for covering you for all the honey-do errands like laundry detergent and applesauce, and can kick back and relax on your right to work, you may find you’re a happier and more relaxed human being. Spending money to save time can buy you happiness.
