9 Tips to Work Less and Live More

#1 Disappoint people
Bite off only what you can chew. Other than that, learn to say no. No point suffocating yourself for the sake of others.

#2 Keep emails and meetings short
Straight to the point. Beating around the bush really takes up time. You can socialize despite brief emails and meetings.

#3 Hit delete
Delete emails. I will delete emails after reading it. Still no courage to delete emails without reading.

#4 Let them judge
Can't please everyone. No point focusing on living up to other people's standards.

#5 You don't need to fix people
It can be annoying especially when people don't request to be fixed. No harm helping others, but only if they deserve the help.

#6 Trust
Have faith that others can execute their tasks properly. Stop micromanaging.

#7 You can't give it all
Be realistic. Not every job requires perfection. Not possible to give each task equal priority and time.

#8 You can't have it all
Need to make choices and sacrifices. You can do everything at one go but do you really need to? Perhaps not 100% of the time. Fix your own priorities at different points of life.

#9 You are worthy just sitting still
Doing nothing is sometimes the best investment in your life and your health.
