10 Life Hacks that could change your life

Straight forward, witty and timeless. #TellItLikeItIs, is a blog for our generation

At the beginning of the year (January) is usually the time of year where we apply turbo speed toward implementing our New Year resolutions to better our lives. Most times however, shortly thereafter we seem to lose sight of our goals (typically by March). Fortunately, it is never too late to engage in activities and projects to improve your life. Looking for some life hacks to keep you motivated?

We’ve rustled up a few suggestions on things you could do to change your life for the better in the remaining months of 2023 and beyond. 

Here are 10 life hacks that could change your life

  1. Exercise – Feeling sluggish? Try exercise. A healthy person can enjoy life better and make the necessary moves and decisions to improve himself or herself.
  1. Smile – As simple as it sounds, this is so true. A smile can brighten your day and someone else’s day, having a positive influence on those around you which in turn can put you in a better mood and even create opportunities for you to advance in life. 
  1. Practice gratitude – Even if some of you may not be where you want to be in life, you still have to be grateful for what you have. This will help you to cherish life more and be grateful when things go your way.
  1. Avoid Comparison –  Be kind to yourself and stay focused on what you have going on for you. If you compare yourself to others, you may feel stuck in a rut, or dejected and unfulfilled and who wants that!
  1. Be Optimistic – Don’t let negative situations and people drag you down. Mental health is key to living a better life. Be kind to your mind and look for the silver lining in all situations.
  1. Stay Organized – For some, being messy is second nature. But for those who stay organized they are able to accomplish more in a day and eventually a year. Clear up the clutter and reach for a more productive you.
  1. Enhance your sleep regimen – A well-rested person is ready to take on the day and all its challenges with a clear mind and sharp focus. Sleep is also important to your overall health so make sure you get lots of it (did you know that your body works to repair muscle, organs and other cells during sleep?).
  1. Write Down Your Daily Tasks –  Part of improving your life is managing your expectations. By writing down daily tasks you ensure you manage your time properly and engage in a healthy work-life balance.
  1. Leverage your network – Speaking of work, we also have tips for business owners to improve their life, which can also apply to personal relationships. When you utilize people in your network with skills sets to improve your work (e.g marketing) this augurs well for you in the future & saves you a bit of time to do the things you love to do. 
  1. Focus time on what works for you – Again this works for both personal and professional development. Cut off any dead weight or anything that does not serve you. Focus instead on the things that bring you prosperity and happiness. 

We hope these suggestions help you make the positive changes you want to see for  the rest of 2023!
