What is something you do everyday? Is there a way that you can automate/delegate/eliminate this? Even if it only takes you 10 minutes, 5 days/week, that could save you 50 min/week, three hours and 20 minutes/month, or 40 hours/year! You can literally get a work week back in your life just by taking this task off your plate.

Seeking enjoyment, not total optimization
Sit down. Close your eyes. Turn off the tv, music, or podcast.
Take a moment to discover what you actually get enjoyment out of doing and find a way to do more of whatever that happens to be.
Look into what you’re mindlessly paying for but don’t get enjoyment from anymore and remove as much of that from your life as possible.
Understand that while everything can be optimized, trying to optimize every aspect of your life can cause you stress or anxiety. Maximizing efficiency is just like everything else in life. It needs to be done in some sort of moderation.
Remember the 80/20 rule applies to life. Remember to seek progress, not perfection. Remember to be kind and forgiving to yourself and others. Remember, in the end, we are only on this earth for a short period of time – try to enjoy it and focus on the positive instead of the negative. Life is good.
