Our Relief Society is doing an activity later in 2016 entitled, “Life Hacks.” The sisters will be invited to share things that they do to make their lives better.<\/p>\n
I can’t stop thinking about this concept. I definitely have some life hacks that work for me. And that’s the thing to remember: strategies that work for me won’t work for others. Here is a list of some of my favorite life hacks:<\/p>\n
have a plan and make lists, but try to remain flexible with expectations.<\/p>\n
try to always be creating something, whether it is a piece of writing, art, craft, sewing project, violin program, or food.<\/p>\n
watch almost no television and have a carefully curated collection of movies to watch.<\/p>\n
keep a record in a journal and other places.<\/p>\n
get dressed every day even if I am not going out.<\/p>\n
try to always be reading something.<\/p>\n
don’t weigh myself on a bathroom scale and do try to listen to my body for clues about what to eat and how much to eat. If I feel like eating for emotional reasons, I try to chew gum instead.<\/p>\n
give gifts to strangers sometimes.<\/p>\n
listen to Christmas music in January. I need it most then.<\/p>\n
remember my ancestors often and wear jewelry or clothing almost daily that belonged to them.<\/p>\n
avoid using my smartphone when I am with Richard.<\/p>\n
keep a 3-ring binder full of page protectors for each child in the kitchen. When they bring home important papers, certificates, cards, etc. I put them in their binders. I also keep a binder labeled by the year to collect family papers for the scrapbook.<\/p>\n
plan things with the family that aren’t child-centered. Not everything we do has to be about the kids.<\/p>\n
