5 Tips to Balance Your Time During the Holidays

November 30th, 2011 Tushar Mathur

The holidays are not a time for relaxation or for letting the days pass by sluggishly. The holidays are a time for getting as much done as possible in the short month you have between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Most people are even starting before Thanksgiving in an attempt to get as much done as possible. This holiday season, learn how to balance your time so that you can get as much done as you want, without neglecting the more important things. Don’t let the glitter of extreme Christmas decorating take away from quality time with your family. Stop yourself from doing poorly on final exams because you went to yet another ugly sweater party. Here are 5 ways to balance your time during the holidays:

 

  1. Set aside family time. For most people, the holidays are a time to be with the people they are closest too. Often, other things of lesser importance get in the way. To avoid this, schedule out your time with close friends and family before things get hectic. Make sure that time is committed to them and make it non-negotiable. If you have to miss a work party or a charity event to be with family, then do it.
  2. Shop early. If you already missed the pre-Thanksgiving and Black Friday shopping, there’s still time to get your shopping done early. Most people have the false impression that there remains yet another full month before they need to have their shopping done, but don’t let this thought fool you. The business of doing other things will make the time fly by. Start buying presents and wrapping them as soon as you read this—there’s no time to delay!
  3. Learn to say no. If you already have a full plate and someone asks you to do yet one more thing, you are in no way obligated to say yes. Instead, learn the fine art of saying “no”. You don’t have to be mean or rude about it, you can explain your situation to the person and kindly let them know that you won’t be available. But be warned, some people may still be upset with your denial, despite your efforts and kindness. If this is the case, don’t sweat it, you wouldn’t have done a good job if you had overworked yourself and you would have been forced to neglect things that were more important to you.
  4. Learn to cheat. If you don’t have the time to cook an entire homemade meal, it’s ok to cheat on a few things. Instead of making homemade bread and homemade pies, make the bread and buy your pie from a store this year.

It’s Family Time

February 19th, 2009 Tushar Mathur

A family time is time spent just with the for fun and love with one another. It is a time of bonding and reuniting together, which brings a closeness. It’s a time to love and laugh with one another, and spend that quality time together as a family.

A fun place to go is in the park or beach and walk and play in the sand with the children. There are countless activities that can take place no matter what state or city that you on in, check with the local events channel on the television or internet. I am sure there is something always going on involving families. I live in the city of Houston and every weekend something new has begun.

My favorite place with my family is on the weekend is the park, providing that the weather is nice, we would go the local grocery store and purchase some of our favorite food items. Once we arrive at the park, we say a prayer and indulge in the activities and then its eating time. The kids enjoy themselves so much until when its over, and is time to go, they are asleep before we arrive home.

Another nice family time is at the children’s museum, the kids will be amaze at the different sculptures and figurines. They always have a performance going on to entertain the kids. It is education and enlightening for people of all ages.

The activity of miniature golf is a all time favorite of both kids and adults. My 10 year old really like this sport, it was a challenge for him. If the weather is permitted the beach is a fun place where kids can go and play in the sand and play volleyball or maybe swim in the water. Other activities are also displayed at the beach that they can also get into.

All kids like to go to the mall, even if it is window shop, the arcade room and the movies are places that will entertain them into a day of busyness.

Planning a family time together can be fun and exciting, especially when you allow the kids to help you with the choices. You can plan their favorite eating places and just enjoy hanging out with your family. Taking time with the family can be healing as it nurtures the inner being while bringing a more closeness in your family.

Traveling Tips to Save you Money

December 9th, 2008 Tushar Mathur
The number one reason that people do not use up all of the vacation hours that they earn at work every year is because they do not have enough money to take a vacation. Instead, they either work or find things to do around the house because they think that taking a vacation is going to cost them too much money. While traveling can be expensive, there are things that you can do to help cut the costs and still have a wonderful vacation. Everyone needs to get away from the daily stress of work and the routines that we all fall into. One of the easiest ways to relax and rejuvenate is to get away for a little while.

The thing to keep in mind when planning a vacation is that you do not need to travel to another country, or an island to experience the benefits of taking a vacation. Some of the most quality time you spend on a vacation could be in your neighboring state or even countryside. You do not need to take a two week vacation either, even a few days away from the stress of every day life can be enough to relieve your stress and help you become relaxed.

There are a lot of great options that may be closer than you think to your own back door. Check out what is going on for local attractions or nearby attractions that could turn into a fun little vacation or getaway. Finding a lake cabin or resort for camping can be an excellent way to spend good family time together and get out in nature away from the distractions of modern living. You can also find a hotel with a spa if you are looking for a little pampering on your next vacation. If you do choose to fly, you can be flexible with the dates and times that you fly which can save a lot of money for you. You can also check out what rates are available for taking a bus or train. That can also lend you scenic adventures along the way. If your family is really into the great outdoors, you can plan a camping trip and save yourself a lot of money by not having to stay in a hotel.

A good idea is to check out different travel sites to see what is coming up for specials and deals and where you can go to get a great vacation without having to spend a lot of money.
