For the last couple of years, I have been trying to help friends and acquaintances to reduce their stress by way of having a more orderly life. Some have welcomed the tips, some with all good intention, have not been able to apply my tips due to "lack of time"!
There are 4 valuable resources in the world:
1) Energy
2) Money
3) Health
and
4) Time
As unfortunate as the current world situation is, it has provided us with more TIME! Each of us have gained at least 60 -120 minutes a day by not commuting to work! So use this gain to your advantage and bring some order to your life. This (situation) too shall pass, but if we use the isolation time productively, we can get back to where we started in a more orderly manner once the world is back to normal.
So, here is my first tip:
3 days ago, the world marked the first day of spring! In Persian culture, this day is first day of their new year and is called No-Rooz (New Day). Take a lesson from Persian's and start your spring clean up. Just think:
> When was the last time you went through your books to decide what you should keep and what you could perhaps send to a nursing home and help the elderly keep busy?
> When was the last time you washed your curtains?
> When did you take content of your socks drawers out to see how many you have and what is still needed (or not?)
Start thinking, the list can get long.... and you have TIME now... So get on with it!
