I live a fairly complicated life. I have 2 Blackberry devices (1 for work e-mail and 1 for personal e-mail), I have 3 PCs, 1 Macbook, 3 TVs, and much more clutter than I could ever want.
Starting tomorrow, I’m working on hacking my life to make it better, to make it a truly GREAT life! Here are the 3 things I’m going to do, and that you can do, to hack your life right now.
- Simplify your life
- Get rid of anything in your house/apartment you don’t know what it does anymore. I’ve got 10 remote controls, many of which I have no idea what they do.
- Get down to 1 or 2 bank accounts.
- Bonus tip: Share some of your most successful tips with the loved ones in your life, as the less complicated their life is the less complicated they’ll try to make YOUR life.
- Organize your life
- Write everything down or put them on your PC so you don’t forget what needs to be done.
- I bought a nice Levenger shirt pocket briefcase so I always have a notebook.
- Store things in 1 place and 1 place only.
- Clarify your life -Figure out what’s really important, and make sure you are making time for it. Whether it’s your spouse, your kids, or your friends, take a long look to clarify what’s REALLY important, and put that on your calendar first.
What are YOUR best tips for hacking your life?
