Here are some techniques you can practice that will result in a happier and healthier life. 

* Integrate Your Life Activities

Maybe you get inspired watching late night television and feel the urge to send out emails to friends you've been meaning to contact.  Whatever the activity, do it when you are able and willing.  By doing things this way, you allow for the ebb and flow of life to run its course.

* Exercise It Out

Many times you can improve your problem solving ability merely by exercising - you'll find that your mind becomes refreshed with alternative solutions and possibilities.  Try this out by joining '1 Series' offered at the Rec Center every Wednesday at 2pm.

* Tackle the Biggest Task First

Why?  Because doing so when you have the most energy (usually at the start of the day) will increase your odds of success.  Do it early and you'll also create instant momentum.
