"My father was a Marine during WWII. He was a tough taskmaster in the home and always insisted we be awake and dressed by 8:30 a.m. on weekends, weekdays without school, and during the summer (unless we were legitimately sick). While a bit harsh at times, I've kept this habit as I've aged. It gets you up and moving, productive and prepared in case someone pops by or a service tech is expected. I schedule all my appointments as early as possible. The end of the day is another story. Bring on the soft pants and relaxation!"
"The older I get, the more I realize I wasted so much time being nice to the wrong people and not paying enough attention to the better ones. You don't get a refund on years spent placating assholes. But the good people you nurture stick with you when times get tough."
"Don't forget to tell those you love just how much they mean to you and that they will own a piece of your heart forever because nobody knows what tomorrow will bring - possibly the chance to never see them ever again."
Practical, modest habits deliver big benefits. Backing into a car and rotating legs reduces back strain. Stop finishing books that do not hold interest and read for personal enjoyment. Spend time on supportive people and stop placating harmful ones; nurture reliable relationships for hard times. Tell loved ones how much they mean because tomorrow is uncertain. Keep a morning routine and schedule appointments early to stay productive and prepared. Use humor to navigate difficult moments. End days with comfort and relaxation to balance productivity and well-being.
