Whether it’s because of a person you met, event you could last minute attend or any other positive chance encounter, soak it up and enjoy!

Rest When You Can
It’s not heroic to stay up late, push through the night, and go without sleep. Occasionally, it needs to be done to meet a clear objective in a given timeline. But it should be the rare exception, not the rule.
With good planning and a clear and consistent sleep routine, 95% of your days should involve a good nights sleep.
If you do get caught in a difficult situation with a very long night, rest when you can. Take a 20 minute Power Nap. Catch 40 winks. Nod off for a minute.
A brief rest can do wonders for your mind, body and soul. Then you can get through those tricky overnight situations.
The Conveyor Belt Of Life
Time is the driver of the conveyor belt of life. It keeps ticking along whether you grind all day or stop to smell the roses.
The belt keeps moving you forward. You can jump or run but it keeps you moving steadily at 1 tick at a time.
Use the time wisely.
Patient Progress
You can try to rush things but that can cause tension in the universe and you may find faster is slower.
Be patient. Organise your time and leave plenty for the challenges that other people, machinery, technology or nature may throw at you.
If your mind is calm and the route is well planned, with ample contingency time, the challenges will be weathered without a storm.
Make patient and persistent progress and you will win.
Enjoy Time Together
Whether with your parents, spouse, kids, friends or whoever, enjoy your time together. Life is moving fast. Enjoy those moments before they disappear.
Whether it’s drinks on the deck or working through admin and papers, be sure to relish these moments as they won’t last long and may never come again.
Complete Your Projects
Completing a project can be difficult for some people as they agonise over detail thinking it must be perfect. So they extend the amount of time they think they can use and delay the finish. Not ideal.
Set your finish date and meet it. Imagine if Olympic stadiums were completed 8 weeks late! Totally useless. So don’t do this with your projects.
Stay focused and complete it on time and within budget.
Remain Calm
Things always seem dark and endless. Especially when you’re at your weakest point. Remain calm. You’ll get through this.
Enjoy Conversation
Take the time to listen to what people are saying. Really engage your ears and hear what they are saying and why they are saying it. Engage with questions, comments and inflections.
Find out more than just the headlines. See behind those ideas and stories and learn the lesson being offered, whether inadvertently or with intent from the storyteller.
Enjoy the conversation you’re having. A great conversation can be fondly remembered for days or even years.
Think. Dream. Visualise.
Get going on this first step. Ignore your life today, as it is, and start noting down your absolute ideal life.
Don’t try to figure out the how, just focus on the what. What would your ideal life, in all aspects, look like?
Get as broad and detailed as possible. Paint a magnificent picture. Do no hold back.
Enjoy A Lazy Day
Everyone could use a lazy day once in a while. The day could be to stay in your pajama’s, or read books, watch sports on TV, etc
This is not every Saturday, but 1-3 times per year. Throwing a whole day can be very regenerative.
