18 Ways To Make Your Life Easier In 2020

Do not wait for the problems to be solved by themselves. Here are some tips for becoming happier and less tired in the coming year.

1. Go on a low-information diet

If your work is not connected with the redirection of information flows, it is not necessary to be aware of all world news and events. For a modern person, information falls every minute in the form of newsletters, messages on social networks, push notifications. In most cases, you can’t help someone else’s grief with anything, just get angry or sympathize, and these negative emotions take away strength and reduce productivity.

Identify the sources that will deliver the news to you, and limit the time you spend on them. The less you know the better you sleep. And longer if you go to bed instead of reading the tape on social networks.

2. Throw away all the trash

Old, ugly, unnecessary things make the room sloppy, and the mess formed around them spoils the mood. Eliminate the source of the problem, fill the house only with the necessary or pleasant things.

3. Analyze what you spend time on

Time is a non-renewable resource, but many spend it very mediocre. Defragment your day like a hard drive on a computer. Think about how you can redistribute employment during the day to leave more time for enjoyable activities.

4. Schedule

Manic control of all the events of your life is not necessary, just rewrite the to-do list in the daily log and stop worrying that you will forget something. Set adequate deadlines and solve problems as they become available.

5. Write down ideas

Brilliant thoughts do not always come to mind at the right time. Write them in a notebook, on your mobile device, anywhere, so as not to forget. Some ideas will not seem ingenious after a while, others can Change Your Life.

6. Turn the house into a fortress

Let your apartment become that corner in which you will feel safe. Surround yourself with cozy things. Take the spare keys from the obsessive relatives who come without an invitation. Allow yourself to turn off the phone or at least switch it to silent mode.

7. Save screenshots that make you happy

Create a folder in which messages will be kept that make you happy and fun. Declarations of love, praise from superiors, funny correspondence - all this will cheer you up and restore faith in yourself when something in life goes wrong.

8. Stop arguing

No need to try to convince your opponent that you are right (unless you get paid for it, of course). It will take a lot of moral strength and time, and the interlocutor, most likely, will remain with his opinion.

9. Use the bed for its intended purpose

Do in bed pleasant things, including sleep , sex, eating pizza to your favorite series. It’s better to work and read the news elsewhere, otherwise the bed will no longer be associated with a place of relaxation.

10. Find a way to get away from problems.

Surely there is something that allows you to escape from difficulties for a while and at least briefly cheer you up. Favorite movie, viewing funny pictures, picking up a puzzle, drawing comic book heroes. Make a list of these things and keep them on hand for an emergency. Use it when you need to quickly remove psychological stress and forget a little.

11. Fight perfectionism

Not everything is worth doing perfectly . Some things are easy to do, others are completely ignored. Set priorities and do not try to embrace the immensity.

12. Express your feelings more openly.

Of course, not all experiences are worth sharing. But in some cases this may be useful. First, people will begin to understand you better. Secondly, you will realize that you are not alone in your fears and anxieties. Thirdly, showing emotions, you are psychologically relaxing.

13. Read more books.

Reading reduces stress levels, expands horizons, allows you to learn something new and escape from reality into invented worlds in order to at least temporarily forget about anxieties.

14. Learn to experience breaking up with people

Friendship ends. You both can remain wonderful people, just nothing else binds you. Release your buddy and don't blame yourself for anything.

15. More often say yes.

This is not about agreeing to a walk with a stranger in the dark gateway. But remember, how many times have you refused something interesting just out of habit? You are a responsible adult with chronic fatigue, reports and deadlines, but sometimes it is worth embarking on an adventure in order to feel alive again.

16. Learn to say no

Being good for everyone will not work, sometimes you need to be able to refuse even a request for help if this is an attempt to do someone else's work with your own hands.

17. Find out more about yourself

Start a diary or write memoirs, make a family tree for your family, try all the fruits and find out which one you like best, take the temperament test - get to know yourself better.

18. Live in the present

Plans are good, but life is not worth putting aside. It's nice to believe in the magical “tomorrow”, “from Monday” and “in the new year”, but nothing outstanding is likely to happen. Live now.
