Hey guys!
So I've been getting a few emails and asks on tumblr (for those of you who want to ask anonymous questions) from a couple of girls and guys (seriously we had no idea guys read this blog, you're rad!) and all of them have been surrounding time management and how to better it in their long distance relationships. I find myself struggling with this aspect of my relationship almost 24/7, and it's important for you guys to know that I'm fairly certain that it happens to everyone! That being said bare with me as I share some awesome tips and tricks that I've picked up over the past year and some awesome suggestions from a few of our readers.
Between work, school, and friends it's tough to have any relationship, especially when your significant other is far away. However one important viewpoint I've found helpful is holding your obligations to things like video chats, phone calls and texts just as important as interactions in 'real life'. About 99% of the time in real life you most likely wouldn't find yourself canceling out on your boyfriend or girlfriend and ask "Hey, can we maybe do this some other time?" minutes before you were set to hang out. Although spontaneity is a key quality in any relationship, sometimes planning even at least one day/time a week for something like Skype can be incredibly helpful and reassuring.
If you're in a long distance relationship due to college/school studying can take up a huge amount of your time. It can be tricky to set healthy priorities for yourself when you're wanting to please and spend time with someone else. One of my friends gave me the cute idea of studying 'together'. Send your other half a word document with your notes/other study materials and have them quiz you on it over Skype! It will definitely make studying much more fun and help you to manage between school and your relationship.
Do you guys have any good tips about time management or anything special you do to make time for your boyfriend or girlfriend?
