There’s no prize for working the most hours per week or making the most money.The question is how much joy you’ve brought into people’s lives and how much have you made the world a better place.

Redefine success

Time Management

Burnout, stress and depression are worldwide problems.Working harder doesn’t necessarily mean better results — in fact, it can have the exact opposite effect.

Avoid burnout

Make time to take care of yourself in terms of exercise, meditation, music, art and family life — this isn’t selfishness, it’s good sense.&nbsp;

Nurture your well-being

Get more sleep. Not getting enough sleep is associated with health risks and higher stress levels. Every element of your life can be improved by getting the proper amount of sleep.

Sleep your way to the top

When’s the last time you turned off the cellphone and focused 100 % on the people you’re with?&nbsp;Challenge yourself and your loved ones to turn off the digital interruptions. The email will be there when you turn your phone back on.

Take a digital detox

We learn many of our life lessons from our parents, relationships with our spouse and our children.&nbsp;Learning shouldn’t stop when you’re out of school — indeed, that’s when learning may truly begin.

Keep learning

Have you ever had a hunch about something, ignored it and in retrospect you knew that you should have followed it?&nbsp;&nbsp;The next time this happens, listen to your gut feelings and be in touch with the perspective of your own thoughts.

Listen to your inner voice

Spend time with your kids or grandkids and see life through their eyes at a museum or art gallery. Take a trip to your bucket list location that you’ve always wanted to see.&nbsp;Every action doesn’t have to advance your ability to earn money or exercise power.

Act like a child

Mediation helps relieve stress and helps us tap our inner voice. If you don’t like being with yourself, how can you expect others to like being with you?

Find solitude

Give back to your community

The architecture of how we live our lives is badly in need of renovation and repair. What we really value is out of sync with how we live our lives. And the need is urgent for some new blueprints to reconcile the two.
