Sometimes the day seems so hectic that as soon as I lie down on the bed at night, the mind thinks – “Where did today go?” This used to happen to me too. It was always difficult to maintain a balance between work, home, relatives and friends. But when I adopted some small lifestyle hacks , gradually life started to seem easy and relaxing.
1. Start the morning right
My grandmother always used to say – “The day will be like the morning.”
Earlier, I used to open my mobile as soon as I woke up and half an hour would pass by scrolling social media. Now I have changed my habit –
- The first thing I do as soon as I wake up is to take deep breaths for 2–3 minutes.
- I do light stretching.
- Then I sit in the balcony with tea for 10 minutes.
Believe me, this small change makes the whole day light and positive.
2. The Magic of the To-Do List
Earlier, I used to have thousands of tasks running through my mind and I would often forget something. Now I make a small To-Do List as soon as I wake up in the morning.
- I am writing the most important work above.
- When the tasks are completed and I tick them , it feels like a small achievement.
This also reduces stress and increases productivity.
3. Right use of technology
Earlier I used to think that mobile is just a waste of time, but now I have understood that if used properly, it can make life easier.
- I now schedule all my work and meetings in Google Calendar .
- With the help of Reminder Apps, you never miss taking medicine.
- I plan my meals for the week in advance in my meal planner .
This keeps the mind light and reduces unnecessary running around.
4. The comfort of minimalism
Sometimes the house seems so full that it starts feeling cumbersome. I removed all the clothes from the wardrobe that I had not worn for years. I donated some, gave some to friends.
Now it is easy to get ready in the morning and the house also feels more open. To be honest, keeping less stuff gives more peace.
5. Small hacks for healthy eating
Earlier, while going to office, I used to buy samosa or burger from outside. Gradually, this habit started affecting my health. Now I have made small hacks for myself:
- I prepare overnight oats the night before.
- I always keep dry fruits and fruits in my bag.
- On weekends, I cut salads and snacks in advance and keep them in the fridge.
This way, when you feel hungry, you have a healthy option at hand instead of junk food.
6. Focus with time blocking
Earlier I used to try to do many things at once and then nothing would get done properly. Now I have created time blocks.
- I keep the morning time for creative work.
- Phone calls and meetings in the afternoon.
- Relaxation and family in the evening.
With this the work gets done on time and the mind also remains light.
7. Digital detox – It is important to take a little break
The world of social media pulls us in, but I realized that it tires the brain. Now I have made a rule –
- I will not look at the mobile at least 30 minutes before sleeping.
- I keep 1–2 hours of no-screen time on weekends .
During that time I read a book or just listen to music and relax. Sleep is now deep and peaceful.
8. Me-Time – Don’t forget yourself
We all do so much for others that we forget ourselves. But when I took out 10–15 minutes every day just for myself, life started feeling better.
Sometimes I sit in the balcony while drinking coffee, sometimes I turn on my favorite playlist. This little Me-Time makes me energetic again.
Conclusion: You don’t need to make big changes to make your life easier. Just adopt these small hacks – a good start to the morning, a To-Do List, smart use of technology, healthy eating, and most importantly Me-Time .
When I adopted these hacks, my day really started feeling light, productive and positive.
