Good Advice

I found a lifehack list that is actually full of helpful advice. So many of these lists are full of statements vs. concrete things you can try to improve life. But this list contains helpful steps to take or ideological shifts that actually may make life… better.

Things I loved:

“If you want to get better at anything, do it for ​30 minutes per day for 30 straight days​. It’s easy to over-engineer progress—a bit of dedicated effort each day is all you need.”

So true — it’s better to do something daily for a short period of time than try to carve out large blocks of time in your week. That usually only works for a week or two before you stop doing the task.

“Make a rule to never think twice about investments in yourself. Books, quality food, fitness, and personal development all fit into this bucket. These investments pay dividends for a long time.”

Again, it was just an ideological shift, but I was thinking about how you won’t regret taking the time to cook a healthy meal because you know that investment helps you in the long run.

“In the short run, it is much harder to be exceptional than it is to be reliable, and in the long run, being consistently reliable makes you exceptional.”

What did you find on the list that spoke to you?
