Struggling with time management - praying for barakah in my days
Assalamu alaikum. I’ve always had a hard time managing my time, since my teens. Now I’m in my mid‑twenties and I feel like I miss opportunities just because I procrastinate and don’t respond to tasks when I should. It’s frustrating - I’ll clear my schedule to focus on something and then end up sleeping or wasting that time instead. Even when I’m actually working, unless a deadline feels extremely urgent I’m often not productive during that session. This issue sometimes affects my prayers too, especially in winter where days are short where I live in the northern hemisphere. If I catch Dhuhr and Asr late, I can struggle to make Maghrib on time. I think I have some kind of time blindness and I misjudge how long tasks will take. I used to take on too much at once - saying yes to extra commitments on top of school and work - but I’ve improved that over the past few years. Right now I’m really struggling to do the right thing at the right time. Practically I know the habits I should restart to use my time better and regulate myself, but I’m also looking for duas, Islamic advice, or perspectives that might help bring barakah into my time and make me more consistent. JazakAllahu khairan for any suggestions.
