15 Ways to simplify your life

How often do you feel that 24 hours in a day are less to finish everything on your plate? Chances are very often.

It is not the hours which need to realign, it is your way of attempting and handling things. If you plan and declutter your day then there is plenty of time to be productive and end your day by relaxing on your couch with a drink.

Many people working at senior posts make sure that they make some rules and implement them to make the most out of their day.

You often complain that even your weekends go by without some fun and you don’t get time for yourself or your family. Don’t worry! You are not alone.

Well, I used to feel this very often earlier. But after implementing some rules I overcame this problem. Here we have written some little things which we don’t notice on a regular day but make a huge difference.

Check it out-

 

 

1. Say ‘no’ often-

How often we end up wasting our time and put important tasks at bay because we are not able to say ‘no’ to someone. This is human behavior that we have an urge to keep people happy.

It is fine to participate once in a while, but if it is taking too much of your time then my friend you must learn to say NO.

 

 

2. Prioritize-

Most of the difficulties we face are due to the fact we don’t prioritize things and people in our life. Every individual has his own way of living life. Some want to excel in their career very fast whereas some want to keep aside some time for their loved ones. It’s all about priorities.

It becomes easy to filter out unwanted elements.

 

 

3. Make a to-do list for your day-

We feel lost when we wake up in the morning thinking how do we start our day. Our tasks overlap with each other if we don’t plan our schedule properly. It is better to sit down for 5 minutes and make a list of things that you need to accomplish in your day.

Trust us this is the best thing you will do for yourself.

 

4. Meditate daily for 10 minutes-

5. Watch less tv-

You don’t realize this but television takes a good amount of time in our lives. Instead of watching television we can talk to our family or pursue a hobby at that time.

Some informational channel is fine for some time but other than that it is a complete waste of time.

 

6. Keep your phone on silent for 1 hour-

Our life is occupied by constant buzzing on our phone. Keep some time aside for yourself away from your mobile. This will be a welcome relief. You won’t have to run towards your phone to check every time when there is a buzz from some app notification.

 

7. Spend time with nature every morning-

Either walk on grass barefoot or just sit around the plants sipping your early morning coffee. Nature has given us so much but due to our busy schedule, we don’t take out time to enjoy and appreciate it enough.

 

 

8. Finish your less favourite tasks first-
