168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think

168 HOURS - YOU HAVE MORE TIME THAN YOU THINK 
BY LAURA VANDERKAM

It's an unquestioned truth of modern life: we are starved for time. 

168 hours by  Laura Vanderkam. 168 Hours starts out with a discussion of the common modern narrative about how nobody has enough time. She strongly disagrees with this, arguing that 168 hours a week is enough time to fit in a robust career, a strong family life, exercise, hobbies, and enough sleep per night.

We tell ourselves we'd like to read more, get to the gym regularly, try new hobbies, and accomplish all kinds of goals. But then we give up because there just aren't enough hours to do it all. 

Or if we don't make excuses, we make sacrifices- taking time out from other things in order to fit it all in. 

There has to be a better way...and Laura Vanderkam has found one. After interviewing dozens of successful, happy people, she realized that they allocate their time differently than most of us.

 Instead of letting the daily grind crowd out the important stuff, they start by making sure there's time for the important stuff. When plans go wrong and they run out of time, only their lesser priorities suffer. 

In her book Laura Vanderkam describes these steps which might help you analyze how you use your time and find the ways to optimize it:

  1. Log your time
  2. Make a list of your dreams
  3. Know your core competencies
  4. Minimize, outsource and ignore
  5. Fill small windows of time with bliss
Vanderkam shows that with a little examination and prioritizing, you'll find it is possible to sleep eight hours a night, exercise five days a week, take piano lessons, and write a novel without giving up quality time for work, family, and other things that really matter.

  DR NEAL BARNARD'S PROGRAM FOR REVERSING DIABETES : THE SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN SYSTEM FOR REVERSING DIABETES WITHOUT DRUGS Dr.  Neal Barnard 's Program for Reversing Diabetes: The Scientifically  Proven System for Reversing Diabetes  Without Drugs  by Dr. Neal Barnard is an excellent primer on the causes of diabetes and strategies to control the condition.

The reasons for not having a high vibration could be:      Fatigue      Fear      Nervous tension.      Rage      Hate And so......we have to vibrate high so that the frequency does not lower our immune system.
