Enjoy Lounging In Bed

Posted on May 15, 2022

It can feel so nice if it is a rare occurrence. Not having to go anywhere may even be better than the actual lounging.

I’m out of bed between 5am and 7am, 7 days a week. I usually like getting up early as I can go for a run, get some work done and have breakfast with the kids.

But on Sunday morning it was about 10:30am when I finally got out of bed for good. Although I’d been awake from 05:30, I did drop back off a few short times.

It was very nice. No need to rush off somewhere. The house was very quiet. I got some things done on my phone. Thought through some issues. And generally just had a relaxing morning. I even played a few games of solitaire on my phone.

When it happens so rarely, it really is a treat. I hope you can enjoy one like that soon.

Keep Your Finances Updated And Tidy

Posted on May 13, 2022

There are many reasons to do this. It’s an investment in you and your personal well-being for starters. Knowing where things are at financially is calming, liberating and allows maximum fun.

If you know your bills are paid, your emergency account is fully funded and your investments are working day and night for you, you will have a greater sense of calm. And it lasts all year. Not just the week or two of calm you get from going on a holiday. Especially if your bills pile up, your admin gets behind and you blow your emergency funds on your, ‘but I needed it!’ trip.

Also, if you were incapacitated or died, could someone step in and know where everything was? Are all the accounts easy to find? Is there an up-to-date will? Are bills on direct debit? Or would someone have to hunt around and figure out what to pay and when?

Do this for you, and your heirs or carers. Start today and have it all sorted by the 15th July (2022!!). Go!

Find Common Ground

Posted on May 9, 2022

It’s good to find common ground when you are speaking with others. That’s why we look for common relationships, geographies, schools and other meaningful connections.

Keep them in mind. It’s a great thing to do.

Why We Compete?

Posted on May 8, 2022

Competition is innate in the human species. We compete for resources, mates, abundance and pride.

In the modern world we compete in sports and less so, military conflicts. We compete for mates still and jobs.

Winning feels good.

Companies compete. Or at least the stakeholders/employees compete.

Philosophy is becoming more competitive too. Some people want to win you over to their side. They are not happy hearing the diversity of thought. They simply want you to agree with, and adopt, their point of view.

Unlike the sportsmanship seen at sporting events, where they shake hands at the end, there seems to be less of that with opposing points of view in the modern world.

We can remain competitive and try to influence people’s point of view but we might want to be more sportsmanlike, regardless of win, lose or draw.

Be Prepared

Posted on May 3, 2022

Often we know about events, occasions and opportunities well in advance. You know, like Christmas, birthdays, annual reviews, monthly investing, etc.

So let’s not leave these things to the last minute. Get your documents ready, prepare your mind, get cards and gifts sent off early. This is a great way to reduce stress. Surf the tsunami of stuff in your life. But also reduce the amount you are committing to. You are not super human or expected to be.

But when you know something happens every year at the same time, be prepared, well in advance. Then you can have that calm, smug feeling of being ahead of the game.
