1. Write something before you go to bed.
In a world of text messages and Facetime, writing before going to bed does not come easy. Pen down your thoughts in a diary because sometimes, you need to talk to yourself and not worry about any judgment.

2. Spend at least 30 minutes with your parents.
Sit down with them and talk. Or, hear them talk. Spend time with them because a few years down the line, you’ll need them and they won’t be around. If you’re not in the same city, pick up the phone and call them. Now!

3. Stand up from your desk and stretch every 2 hours.
We know exercising everyday is one goal we fail to achieve, every single day. However, this working-hard generation deserves a healthy lifestyle too. Take out some time to stand up and stretch your muscles. You’ll be surprised just how much it increases your productivity!

7. Keep your room clean.
Most of us don’t give it too much importance. Yes, you can do it when the trash piles up but why wait for that to happen? Besides, a clean room only proves that the person it belongs to has got their priorities right.

9. Restructure your priorities.
Not every day should be your work-hard day. Every day is different and prioritizing your life on the need-of-the-hour basis is the right way of living.

It okay to fail. We were not born perfect and we all need to improve and evolve. It is never too late to start afresh!
