Life goals

Having a guide towards what you want to achieve is important.  With so many distractions, staying focused is crucial.  Your aims are often linked, and milestones bring you closer to a bigger goal.

• What do you want to achieve as a life challenge?
• Life purpose is key to the actions you take daily.
• Remember your dream as a child.

Choose ongoing learning

Always aim to be better than what you were yesterday.  This is genuine progress.  Being in the rat race and comparing yourself to others can fuel low self-esteem.

Growing your knowledge all the time helps to remain updated.  Be it for personal or professional reasons, being informed is best.  Take calculated decisions.

• Which are your best learning methods?  Find and take advantage for the better.
• Sharpen your mind.  Find ways to better retain and remember information.
• Reread your favorite fiction books to relive memories.  Revisit some key self-help hacks through non-fiction.
• Never stop advancing in areas that bring you success.  Focus on the right things at the right time.

Work-life triggers

Some hacks assist in office work.  Be it a corporate job, solopreneur working from home, business, or other.  Always take advantage of better ways of doing things.

• Why choose one field of the profession over another?
• What job, business, or career would you keep through ups and downs (if you had to endure difficulties)?
