Motivational Tips to Hack Your Day

Admittedly most of struggle with increasing workloads. Getting through a regular day isn’t as straight forward anymore as it was maybe ten years ago. With the increased pressures we face every day, it only makes sense to find ways that help us hack our days to keep some sort of mental balance.

The sooner we take back control, the more we can eventually relax and enjoy life.

A definition of “hack” was found to explain:{one who works hard at boring tasks}

It starts at the beginning
Before we even attempt to try a day hack we need to look back and write down the biggest hurdles we face every day to get things done. Perhaps they are:
doing the washing
paying bills
cleaning up the house
feeding the family
write correspondence
finish tasks for work
etc.
Either way, most of us have certain things that are part of every day. If not, we do have at least a weekly schedule that prompts us to act on these things.

Let’s face it, we don’t really get excited to clean the house or wash the dishes. Nor do we feel that paying bills is a task we can’t wait to perform. Trouble is, that since most of us hate to do all the necessary things we need to, we often fall behind and as a result start stressing out when we realize we just missed an important deadline. You probably felt like this many times in your life before. But how do we turn boring tasks into an exciting experience?

To claim back your day and start to have some measures of fun despite all the hard work we do and the responsibilities we have, we can do a few simple things. These things will serve to have us relaxed, instead of stressed out at the end of every day. Not only will we be able to gain back some valuable time, but often we’ll sleep much better as a result. Which will give us more energy to get even more done!

Start of by:

1. Planning for the week ahead.

2. Before you leave the house each morning for work/school spend 30 minutes to clean up.

3. Choose a set day to pay your bills each week.

4. Divide work between family members.

5. Do all you shopping at once. Shopping is an essential necessity.

6. To save time cooking you can prep meals ahead of time.

The more ways we find to work smart at home, the more we can enjoy time off work at the end of every day. In a world that is increasingly putting more and more demands on us this has never been more important.
