Ten Tips For A Better Life

I am subscribed to a few valuable blogposts and newsletters for picking up on ideas for better living. I recently came across this brilliant blogpost https://conorbarnes.com/blog/tipsforabetterlife where the author Conor Barnes presents some intuitively original thoughts on living a good life. I highly recommend you take a read.

I am sharing below Ten of my favourite ideas from the blogpost.  

1. Things that are not your problem can still be your responsibility.
2. Done is better than perfect.
3. How you spend everyday is how you spend your life.
4. Notice biases in others is easy, noticing biases in yourself is hard. However, it has a much higher pay-off.
5. If something surprises you again and again, stop being surprised.
6. Bored people are boring.
7. Things that you use for a significant fraction of your life(bed: 1/3rd, Office Chair- 1/4th) are worth investing in.
8. When buying things time and money trade off against each other. If you are low on money, take more time to find deals. If you are low on time, stop looking for great deals and just buy things quickly online.
9. Keep your desk and workspace bare. Treat every object as an imposition upon your attention, because it is. A workspace is not a place for storing things. It is a place for accomplishing things.
10. Are you on the fence about breaking up or leaving your job? You should probably go ahead and do it. People, on average, end up happier when they take the plunge.
