Have been continuously focusing on:
Don’t try to read other people’s minds. Don’t make other people try to read yours. Communicate.
Be polite, but don’t try to be friends with everyone around you. Instead, spend time nurturing your relationships with the people who matter most to you.
Live below your means. Don’t buy stuff you don’t need.
Get off your high horse, talk it out, shake hands or hug, and move on.
Don’t waste your time on jealously. The only person you’re competing against is yourself.
Ask someone if you aren’t sure.
Don’t try to please everyone. Just do what you know is right. Don’t worry too much about what other people think about you.
Your health is your life, keep up with it.
Always be honest with yourself and others.
Clean up after yourself. Don’t put it off until later.
Maintain your car, home, and other personal belongings you rely on.
Smile often, even to complete strangers.
Treat everyone with the same level of respect you would give to your grandfather and the same level of patience you would have with your baby brother.
Apologize when you should.
Write things down.
Be curious. Don’t be scared to learn something new. Explore new ideas and opportunities often. Don’t be shy. Network with people. Meet new people.
Drink water when you’re thirsty.
Realize that the harder you work, the luckier you will become, so find hard work that you actually enjoy doing!
Take it slow and add up all your small victories.
However good or bad a situation is now, it will change. Accept this simple fact.
Realize that you’re never quite as right as you think you are.
Make mistakes, learn from them, laugh about them, and move along.
Newly working on:
Get enough sleep every night. An exhausted mind is rarely productive.
Get up 30 minutes earlier so you don’t have to rush around like a mad man.
Surround yourself with people who fill your gaps. Let them do the stuff they’re better at so you can do the stuff you’re better at.
Organize your living space and working space.
Get rid of stuff you don’t use.
Handle important two-minute tasks immediately.
Single-task. Do one thing at a time and give it all you got.
Finish one project before you start another.
Make a weekly (healthy) menu, and shop for only the items you need.
If you hate doing it, stop it.
Exercise every day. Simply take a long, relaxing walk or commit 30 minutes to an at-home exercise.
Let go of things you can’t change. Concentrate on things you can.
