Friends, in life there are certain HABITS which we must follow, and usually these habits give MASSIVE RETURNS in your day-to-day life.
Here are some of those habits :
1 Write things down- Our brains are for having ideas, not for holding them.
2 Take a second to pause before you respond. Become less reactive.
3 Read something everyday. Even one page.
4 Write something everyday. Even just one paragraph.
5 Automate and batch as much as you ca. Our brains have more room to be creative when they are not constantly making decisions.
6 get some sun on your skin as early as you can get in the day.
7 When your brain hurts. Stop working. Take a quick break to disconnect and recharge.
8 Limit your to-do-list to the top 3 most important tasks of the day.
9 Write down anything that resonates with you.
10 Break down goals into smallest steps possible.
11 Value your time above all else.
12 Find hobbies that engage your mind and soul-do them as often as you can.
13 Place your phone away from you while you are working.
14 Track everything you do for one day to the minute. Find where time-sinks are.
15 Stop comparing you behind the scenes to everyone else’s highlight reel.
16 Be bored more often. Our minds get the best ideas when they are allowed to wander.
17 Listen more than you speak.
18 Create more than you consume.
19 Compliment more than you complain.
20 Delete apps from your phone you don’t use.
21 Donate clothes you don’t wear.
22 Make a habit of reaching out to old friends.
23 Never say ‘yes’ simply because you feel obligated.
24 Take care of your information diet-junk info hurts your brain.
25 Look at your phone less, look at people’s eyes more.
26 Serve others as much as you can. This is powerful source of happiness.
27 Revisit things that have brought you joy in the past.
28 Set time limits on task. Use Parkinson’s law in your favour.
29 Remember people’s names and used them often.
30 Remember you are going to die one day.
In the item 27 above, it is mentioned use “Parkinson’s law in your favour”.
Now what is Parkinson’s Law– In simple words, Parkinson’s law is “the idea that work expands to fill the time allotted for its completion”. This may mean you take longer than necessary to complete a task or you procrastinate and complete the task right before the due date. For example-You plan to spend your afternoon going to bookshop to find a present. You might also want to get a birthday card and chocolates, since your planned time frame is entire afternoon.
Waiting for your views on this blog.
