Being consistent on a daily basis can help or hinder your progress in life. On a daily basis, it helps if you eat well, drink water, sleep 7-8 hours, exercise for 20 minutes and go to the loo (1 & 2).
Missing any of these for a day would have an impact and you’d notice. Missing any of these for a week will start a decline.
Get consistent with the basics. Then you can go next level more sustainably.
About 10pm, clear your mind, smile and drift off to sleep. So many benefits come from that.
That can be the answer. Get some sleep. Have a lazy few hours. Only do what you want to do. It can really help.
There are moments in life where you’ll lose sleep. This can include studying for exams, preparing a big case, seeing a magical skyline with stars and being in Seattle.
Regardless, sometimes you have to push through. Do it! It’s worth it.
Modern people don’t need 2,000 calories per day. I know what the ads say but I don’t think it’s been update for the WFH, laptop and tv lifestyle of 2024.
If you have more calories, how are you going to burn them off? If it’s a chore to go to the gym, then why not consume less and cancel the gym membership?
Are you eating for pleasure or survival? That’s what I thought.
When doing work, use the Sprint method. Take your task and work hard and fast. Set a time to accomplish it and then try to beat it. When you finish, rest, stretch and go again. Sprint through your days and see how much more you can do.
Some people exaggerate to be heard. A Few scream about the broken system, broken this and broken that.
I’m not sure that many things are actually broken. Rather, they are playing out as you’d expect.
Rental markets are behaving as you might anticipate given the government policies during the last four years, from lockdowns, printing money and distributing that money to people everywhere.
Those actions combined with the natural ebb and flow of the market has exacerbated the situation.
Like weight gain, prolonged periods of eating more and poorly, and moving less and less, will eventually lead to disappointing results. The same can be said for lack of studying or lack of attention to your finances or relationships. It happens almost imperceptibly over time until a significant moment of realisation and you throw your hands up and say, “What happened here!?”
You can turn these things around at any time you want. But it will take a certain amount of pure desire and stoic discipline to get things going consistently in the right direction. Years of not paying attention, poor habits, good ideas poorly or unevenly executed is hard to turn around.
You can do it though. You really can! Though it will take a little planning and some serious resolution, determination and discipline. Let me know if you want some help with it. Otherwise, best wishes!!
Not a generally fun topic. However, it is one we all will encounter in our lives. It will be either the death of other people or our own.
Preparing for it 20 years ahead may take the sting out of the discussion. It may also allow you some time to get things in order properly.
It’s not an hysterically fun topic but it can be approached light-heartedly. It does need to be done to improve the lives of your heirs and allow you to rest your mind.
Start today. Progress towards completing your will, any trusts, funeral arrangements and Power of Attorney, and getting the rest of your documents in order.
Yes it might mean postponing a few favourite tv shows now and then but having this completed makes you the super star of your family. Dead and still ahead one day. Sort it now!
Do you truly spend your time how you would want to? Not just your work time, which some of you may not be crazy about, but free time too.
Are you with the people you would most like to be with? Are you doing things that improve your life? Do you spend 20% of your time on fun, rejuvenation and enjoyment? Or are you more of an 80% enjoy and try not to really improve anything?
Spending time is something you should plan. If you just go by feelings, you may find yourself in an awful spot three years from now.
A rejuvenating nap can be just the thing you need in the afternoon or early evening. It can clear things up for you and give you hours more of alert and enjoyable time.
I wouldn’t leave it too late though. Napping after nine pm and you may as well have gone to bed! Stay away from this plan unless you’re up due to a pressing deadline that must be met.
