Set short time-limits for decisions
- For small decisions like if you should go and do the dishes, respond to an email or work out, give myself 30 seconds or less to make a decision.
- For somewhat larger decisions that would take you days or weeks to think through in general, use a deadline for 30 minutes or for the end of the workday.
Stop setting your day up for stress
- Get a good start, that will set the tone for your day. (read or work-out and then start with the most important task of the day).
- Single-task and take regular breaks. This will help you to keep a sharp focus during your day and to get what’s most important done while also allowing you to rest.
- Minimize your daily input, especially from social media consumption. It will clutter your mind as the day progresses.

Pleasure seeking needs to be viewed as a positive, life-giving pursuit in these times where everyone is striving hard to make ends meet.
