Let’s break it down a little to explain how the 8-8-8 rule works.
8 hours of work
Figure out what time you work your best and get cracking then, so you’re at your best. Focus on the Pareto Principle of getting 80% results from 20% of activities to drive results and get the most out of your workday.
Chuck out any time wasters or distractions that might be a drag on your time at work and make sure you avoid checking social media or any activity that reduces your effectiveness.
8 hours for you
Whether you want to learn a new sport or you love to read, spend 8 hours per day doing what YOU love. Join a gym, watch your fav TV show or get out in the world and explore a new town – do whatever puts a smile on your dial.
8 hours of sleep
After a big day of work and play our bodies need sleep so make sure you get 8 hours of shut-eye, so you’re in peak condition to get the most out of your day.
That’s the 8-8-8 rule explained! Now it’s time to focus on breaking up your day and using your time effectively to ensure you’re getting the work-life balance you need for optimum health!
