2021 is almost over, as we head towards 2022. I want you all to focus on these key areas in 2022 that are (Yourself, Passive Income, Mental Health, and Health) lists are short in this article. And, I truly believe that this shortlist will be a guiding light towards a new you.

When you invest in yourself, it gives you the best return. Because no one can take away what you have learned. And more and more you invest in yourself. Whether, learning through courses or books, or mentorship, It not only compounds together, and brings the best return in the future. You can use it anytime, you want as it stays always at your disposal to be used anywhere you need.

Invest in yourself -

Until and unless if you don't have passive income. You will have to work till your last breath. When you earn money while you sleep is the beauty of passive income. You can make passive income, by investing in Stocks, doing Affiliate Marketing, selling courses, or selling eBooks. Or it could be Real estate. And the list goes on.

Learned, how passive income works

There is one beautiful line from a dying Entrepreneur " I have money, cars, and private planes and I can do and go anywhere I want. But, my health is not with me anymore " We neglect our health, and Then, one day it asked for a return through illness. So, invest in your health learn about nutrition, go to the gym, exercise regularly. So, that is after 20 years or 30 years from today. When your health asked for a return it should be good health.

After one year spent on trying improve myself here's what I've learnt.

Toxic Self Help 

1. I was an ignorant teenager and was tierd of being clueless. When i try to remember what I did or try to think of a reason to why I did what I did there's literally nothing that comes to mind i haven't gave anything a single thought just Slept thru my teen years.2. I got tierd of being that kid who just needed attention and validation of others all the time. That was the only thing I was working on in my teen years. I had many flaws bad skin , bad hair , bad habits [pmo] and people never failed to make sure I knew it. Chicks falked me so often that stuff really scared me. The dissatisfaction

Reasons

1. The dopamine hit after each self help product consumed got me Hooked the false sense of Achievement the feeling that Imactually moving forward and Progressing was enough to keep going2.After the consumption you feel like you're above than everybody else that people are wasting time trying to live a better life now than planning their future theyre stupid this content gave me god complex3. Self help content made me certain that if I waited long enough and keep on going my miserable life might just turn around4. Writing down goals making lists setting reminders planning days instead of Action

Begining

Felt great throughout the year being high on self help content but havent accomplished anything yet More consumption than taking action and actually doing anything Just making list and calling it a day God complex is killing me.Dissatisfaction of my past situation made me a consumer of self help content my current situation is no different only thing I have this time is the false hope at the back of my head that i can and eventually will do it this is because of the illusion of Progress If you pause for a second and look around youll realise nothing has changed.Artificial Motivation is useless

1 Year Experience

<ol><li>Action - this is the answer to all your problems and the trick to progress yes this is as complex as simple it may sound you have to Act on things instead of reading a book about it or watching a video on the topic</li><li>Minimise being the consumer.</li><li>There will always be struggle instead of running face it only then you will actually progress in any field</li><li>Hustle or working hard only work if you are working on the right thing hustle is not always the answer sometimes you need to analyse your strategy</li><li>Be practical in your approach to anything don't be too optimistic or pessimistic</li></ol>

Solution 

6. seek progress not perfection7. It will try to convince you that your are the next Elon musk but if you are not really competent than this Artificial Motivation & false hope is useless8. Every time you fail a certain task you'll feel stressed which is bad if you wanna max out your potential so be on the lookout if self help is holding you back.

Solution

The toxic world of self help: a world surrounded by toxic positivity, self help addiction, fake gurus, and hustle culture. It’s the side of ‘self-development’ that is often overlooked by those on the outside, and even those who are avid consumers of the industry. In this video we take a dive into the dark side of self-help, and the traps that may lie in wait for those who enter this world. ****** 👇 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐥 // 𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐀 𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧! ► https://www.patreon.com/jamesvj 💻𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐈 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐧 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭 + 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 (𝐒𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞) ► https://skillshare.eqcm.net/Kr3Yn 📈𝐆𝐞𝐭 𝟐 𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐂𝐊𝐒 𝐎𝐍 𝐖𝐄𝐁𝐔𝐋𝐋 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭 $𝟏𝟎𝟎 (𝐔𝐒): ► https://act.webull.com/kol-us/share.html?hl=en&inviteCode=aUn469wnhfEA 📹𝗠𝘆 𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: https://bit.ly/2OfHCTO 📚 𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬 𝐈 𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝: https://bit.ly/33pDvw7 🎶 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐜 𝐔𝐬𝐞𝐝: Epidemic Sounds - https://bit.ly/2SblgUB Artlist - https://bit.ly/2IzPbVo 📸 Instagram: james.v.j // https://bit.ly/2TOaBBC 🐦 Twitter: @jamesvjani // https://bit.ly/2zYPrsT ****** DISCLAIMER This video is primarily based on my own experience in the self help industry, and therefore I want to make it clear that I am coming from a biased perspective throughout this video. HOW IT BEGINS Self development has a nice lure to it. It’s this world of people trying to improve themselves, take control over their lives and decisions, and live a better ‘fulfilling’ life. Or at least, it is presented to you this way. Most people come to the self-help world from a dark place, looking for some sort of ‘hope’ or ‘way out’ – and I was no exception to this. It was this desire to change my life situation that brought me to the world of self-help. SELF HELP ADDICTION Addiction to self help content is the first trap to often ensnare people. When you consume self help content you will often gain a surge in motivation. This motivation will urge you to purchase the next self help book, watch the next self help video, attend the next self help seminar from your favourite guru, etc etc. But this is problematic. This feeling of motivation and fulfilment is an illusion – an illusion of progress. Because in reality you haven’t made any progress, you have only gotten better at convincing yourself that you have. THE BUSINESS OF SELF HELP The industry of self-development is estimated to be worth around $13 billion dollars by 2022. The selling of books, online programs, seminars, coaching, podcasts, live speaking events, are some of the main mediums used to generate income from self-development. But this business knows how addicting this content can be. And your favourite gurus like Tony Robbins, Gary Vaynerchuk, Grant Cardone, Tai Lopez know (even if they won’t admit it) that you are more profitable to them unhappy and discontent than you are happy and fulfilled. TOXIC POSITIVITY The self help world can surround you with positive messages. Overwhelming you with ideas like “positive vibrations” in order to get you feeling good the more you consume. But nobody can feel good forever, life will always have ups and downs. Self-help can often make yo feel as though negative thoughts like quitting are wrong. And this brings us to the next problem: toxic positivity. Toxic positivity is about making you feel bad for not feeling great all the time, and the self help industry can absolutely put you in a position to feel like this. HUSTLE CULTURE Finally, we come to hustle culture. In this new world of Instagram entrepreneurs, humble bragging, and fake gurus, this concept of ‘hustling’ and working hard every hour of the day has become romanticised. There are a few issues with this. Often times those that brag about ‘hustling’ are actually procrastinating and achieving nothing. Then there are those who actually work every hour of the day, thinking that this is what encapsulated what it means to be successful – it doesn’t. Working hard at the RIGHT thing, is what makes the odds of success higher. And the best way to know if you are working hard at the right thing is to take a step back from your ‘hustling’ and reflect on the strategy you are using. ****** All materials in these videos are used for educational purposes and fall within the guidelines of fair use.

The Toxic World of Self Help: Hustle Culture, Toxic Positivity, Addiction, and Fake Gurus.

Toxic World of Self Help

Mental strength is the ability to control your mind instead of being controlled by it. Becoming mentally strong doesn’t mean you are able to completely control everything that goes on in your head.Mental strength means understanding which parts of your mind you can control and being able to do it well when it matters. You may not be able to control whether a random worry pops into your mind. But you can control whether you keep worrying about it.There are usually 3 factors that sabotage our emotional strenth: 1. Emotional dishonesty2. Destructive mental time travel3. Unhealthy impulses

Like any kind of training, building mental strength requires a commitment to good habits and practices over time. However, some of these practices can be daunting especially if you have to think of how big of a change in character and lifestyle you have to make in order to be mentally strong. You would have already given up before you've even started. Just like your with your least favorite vegetable or a bitter medicine, how about about taking them in small doses at a time?Here are 3 small changes you can make that can make a difference

How to deal with the 3 Factors that Sabotage our Mental Strength

This habit is so simple that it’s incredibly easy to miss.There'a a chance that you're not quite as honest about your emotions—especially the really difficult ones—as you’d like to believe.ou had a big argument with your spouse last night. This morning, your coworker asks you how you’re doing. You instantly do the textbook 'Im good' of emotional dishonesty because it’s not appropriate to talk about personal issues at work. While its inappropriate to go into detail, that doesn’t mean you can't be honest with how you feel at all. A simple, "I’m doing okay but I had kind of a stressful night."

1.Emotional Dishonesty: Not Being honest about how you feelings

First of all, Do you really know how you feel? Sure you know that you feel upset. But what emotions specifically are you feeling?<ul><li>Are you feeling angry? If so, what type of anger—frustrated, mad, irritated?</li><li>Or maybe you’re feeling hurt… But what type of hurt? Do you feel sad or disappointed? Regretful or ashamed?</li><li>Or maybe—and much more likely—you’re feeling some combination of emotions… Mostly disappointed, but also a bit mad and anxious as well.</li></ul>

Know how you really feel

Even though you may intellectually know you're not ok,if you're in the habit of avoiding talking about how you feel, you’re training your brain to think that painful feelings are things to be avoided and feared and that is a set-up for emotional fragility and pain.By taking even 3 seconds to acknowledge your emotions honestly to yourself and to others, rather than avoiding them, you're teaching your brain that, however painful, difficult emotions aren’t dangerous.

And teach your brain that difficult emotions aren't dangerous

The majority of emotional suffering is a direct result of too much mental time travel.Mental time travel is the amazing ability we have to think about the future with our imagination or relive events from the past out of memory. While this can serve as a warning and help us plan and prepare for the future, this can also hurt us if used inappropriately.

2. Destructive Mental Time Travel: Resisting the unnecessary

Anxiety. The vast majority of anxiety comes from unhelpful thinking about the future. Know when to use your mental time travel ability.Shame. Many instances of depression and low self-esteem are driven by powerful mental habits of self-criticism and self-judgment. Though these painful mental habits can help you become a better person and improve your relationship with others, they can be horribly destructive if allowed to run wild.Aggression and resentment. Ruminating on other people’s mistakes and shortcomings can quickly lead to excessive levels of anger, resentment, aggression, and conflict

Hurt us how?

Cultivate the ability to hold your attention in the present moment. Use your ability to mentally time travel mindfully, not mindlesslyWhen faced with a challenging situation, keep your attention on that current situation, don't replay any upsetting past event to add to what you're already dealing with. Focus on what you currently have to do, or better, focus on the upside.When going for a run, instead of replaying a fight you had w/ your spouse last night or worrying about your exam tomorrow, focus on how it feels to run and be outdoors,how the wind feels on your face or the music on your ipod

The Antidote to destructive mental time travel:

All too often, our best intentions get sabotaged by our own minds: impulsive reactions, cravings, fears, and the like.Resist these unhealthy impulses and cravings by shifting your focus onto your values: why you want to resist that impulse in the first place?If you’re feeling the impulse to eat a second serving of dessert, don't just repeat 'don’t eat the dessert', over and over. Instead think about why you want to resist that craving in the first place. Maybe you value loosing weight and improving your health, or looking good at the beach this summer

3. Unhealthy impulses:  Outcompete them with your values

Then, once you’ve figured out at least one good value behind your desire to resist your craving, clarify and justify it: what are its benefits and advantages? What are the benefits of losing weight and getting healthy? What will you be able to do when you're healthier? How will it make you feel: will it give you more confidence, will it make your home life happier?

Clarify and Justify your Values

Mental illness can creep up when you least expect it. It pays to be mentally strong & prepared at all times

The best way to achieve mental strength and emotional resilience is to focus on building habits that will lead to them over time.

Understand yourself and those around you.

How to Bolster Your Mental Health

“Doing it right is hard. Doing it over is harder.”

“Three simple ways to get more of what you want in life:<ol><li>Be kind and pleasant to others.</li><li>Ask for what you want.</li><li>Follow up.</li></ol>

In the gym, if you experience no stimulus your muscles won't grow. If you step under 10,000 pounds your body will break.Life is similar.Too much challenge makes life hard, but so does too little.

Challenges

On being grateful for what you avoid:“If you don’t get everything you want, think of the things you don’t get that you don’t want.”

“I tell my kids, what is the difference between a hero and a coward? What is the difference between being [cowardly] and being brave? No difference. Only what you do. They both feel the same. They both fear dying and getting hurt. The man who is [cowardly] refuses to face up to what he’s got to face. The hero is more disciplined and he fights those feelings off and he does what he has to do. But they both feel the same, the hero and the coward. People who watch you judge you on what you do, not how you feel.”

At this time next year, what will you be thankful you spent time on during the next 12 months?

1 QUESTION FOR YOU

communication

Communication

3-2-1: Gratitude, courage, and how to get more of what you want in life

When you practice gratitude, your world changes.People are magnets. When you’re grateful for what you have, you will attract more of the positive and good. Gratitude is contagious. It changes not only your world, but everyone else’s you come in contact with.

50. Spend time reflecting on your blessings at least once per day

We’ve become so high-paced in the world that everything we do is on the go. We’ve forgotten what it means to just be with our loved ones.It doesn’t matter if it’s breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Eating together creates a sense of community like nothing else.

49. Eat at least one meal with your family per day

If left untreated, gum disease can be a risk factor for heart disease, diabetes, and a high body mass index.Yes, not flossing can make you fat.Not only that, but it greatly reduces bad breath.

48. Floss your teeth

Many people have horrible relationships with their parents.Growing up can be tough and sometimes our parents make horrible decisions that negatively impact us.If your parents are still around, rekindle those ties or increase the flame. You’ll find enormous joy in those relationships.

47. Become good friends with your parents

The messages of handwritten letters impact deeper and are remembered longer than electronic messages.Handwritten messages are so powerful that people often keep these notes for a long time. Sometimes a lifetime.

46. Write and place a short, thoughtful note for someone once per day

People are instinctively cooperative and generous.When you want to say “I love you,” to a loved one, just do it. Don’t think about it.Paralysis by analysis is dumb. And Malcolm Gladwell explains in Blink that snap-decisions are often far better than well-thought out ones.

45. Be spontaneously generous with a stranger at least once per month

Very few things in life are just randomly given to you as an adult. In most cases, you need to earn it and/or ask for it.The entire crowdfunding industry is based on making asks.Start making bold and audacious asks. What’s the worst that could happen? They say “No”?What’s the best that could happen?When you don’t ask, you lose by default. And you’ll never know the opportunities you missed out on.Put yourself out there. You’ll be blown away by what happens.

44. Make one audacious request per week (what do you have to lose?)

71 percent of bed makers consider themselves happySomething so simple. Yet, when you make your bed first thing in the morning, you knock-off your first accomplishment of the day. This puts you in a mindset of “winning.”

43. Make your bed first thing in the morning

“If you have more than three priorities, then you don’t have any.” — Jim Collins

42. Have no more than 3 items on your to-do list each day

Research has repeatedly found that when behavior is tracked and evaluated, it improves drastically.It’s best to track only a few things. Maybe just one at a time.

41. Track at least one habit/behavior you’re trying to improve

However, most wealthy people’s income comes from multiple sources.With a few short years of intentional and focused work, you can have several income streams.

40. Have multiple income streams (the more the better)

No matter your skill-set and interests, you can put a business in place that runs 24/7 even while you’re sleeping, sitting on the beach, or playing with your kids.An entrepreneur is someone who works for a few years like no one will so they can live the rest of their life like no one else can.

39. Create an automated income source that takes care of the fundamentals

Warren Buffett doesn’t invest in technology because he doesn’t understand it. Instead, he invests in banking and insurance. He’s not a tech guy. He invests in what he understands.

38. Invest only in industries you are informed about

<ul><li>In a free-market economy, anyone can make as much money as they want.</li><li>Your background, highest level of education, or IQ is irrelevant when it comes to earning money.</li><li>The bigger the problem you solve, the more money you make.</li><li>Expect to make lots of money. Think BIG.</li><li>What you focus on expands. If you believe in scarcity, you’ll have little.</li><li>When you create incredible value for others, you have the right to make as much money as you want.</li><li>You’re not going to be discovered, saved, or made rich by someone else. If you want to be successful, you have to build it yourself.</li></ul>

37. “Change the way you feel, think, and act about money” — Steve Down

Every decision has opportunity cost. When you choose one thing, you simultaneously don’t choose several others.We must define success, wealth, and happiness in our own terms because if we don’t, society will for us — and we will always fall short. Our lives will be an endless race for the next best thing. We’ll never experience contentment.

36. Define what wealth and happiness mean to you

Change freaks people out. It immediately pulls you from your comfort zone. Which is exactly what you need. You’ll often feel like a fraud. But impostor syndrome is exactly what you should be seeking.

35. Make a few radical changes to your life each year

When you wake up and put yourself, not other people first, you position yourself to win before you ever begin playing.

34. Check your email and social media at least 60–90 minutes after you wake up

Paying rent is like working hourly. You get money while you’re on the clock. When you’re not on the clock, you get no money. Earning equity is like having residual income.

33. Buy a small place rather than rent

It’s a no-brainer. If you’re not drinking the healthy amount of water each day, you should critically assess your priorities in life.

32. Drink 64–100 ounces of water per day

31. Tithe or give 10 percent of your income away

“I would have saved 10 percent automatically from my paycheck by direct deposit into a savings account earning the best possible interest compounded daily.” — D. Lorinser

30. Save 10 percent or more of your income

“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” — Jim RohnWho you spend time with is incredibly important.

29. Make friends with five people who inspire you

It’s not your choice if people choose to forgive you.

28. Genuinely apologize to people you’ve mistreated

Relaxation is crucial for success. People approach their lives like a workout without rest breaks.

27. Give at least one guilt-free hour to relaxation per day

Expect optimal performance from yourself and let the chips fall where they may. Put most simply: Do what is right, let the consequence follow.

26. Stop obsessing about the outcome

“Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve.”If you don’t believe in your dreams, the chances of them happening are slim to none. But if you can come to fully know the things you seek will occur, the universe will conspire to make it happen.

25. Choose to have faith in something bigger than yourself, skepticism is easy

Juicing is an incredible way to get loads of vitamins and nutrients from fruits and vegetables. These nutrients can:<ul><li>Help protect against cardiovascular disease, cancer and various inflammatory diseases</li><li>Guard against oxidative cellular damage from everyday cellular maintenance and exposure to chemicals and pollution.</li></ul>

24. Buy a juicer and juice a few times per week

<a href="http://dailyhealthpost.com/8-medically-based-reasons-to-consume-coconut-oil-every-day/">Coconut oil</a> is a healthy alternative to caffeine. Eating a small amount will give you a shot of energy without the side-effects.

23. Consume a tablespoon of coconut oil once per day

While all of that untapped energy gets removed, a new wave of positive energy comes into your life. You can use that energy in more useful and productive ways.

22. Remove all non-essentials from your life (start with your closet)

There is always a faster way than you originally conceive. Actually, goal-setting can slow your progress and diminish your potential if you rely too heavily upon it.

21. Decide where you’ll be in five years and get there in two

Use this technique and you’ll be consuming as much information as you once consumed caffeine.

20. Listen to audiobooks and podcasts on 1.5 or 2x speed, your brain will change faster

Eating protein first decreases your white carbohydrate cravings. These are the types of carbs that get you fat. Think bagels, toast, and donuts.Protein-rich foods keep you full longer than other foods because they take longer to leave the stomach. Also, protein keeps blood-sugar levels steady, which prevents spikes in hunger.

19. Consume 30 grams of protein within the first 30 minutes of waking up

The more you express love (like gratitude), the more other people feel love for you.

18. Say “I love you” 3+ times a day to the most important people in your life

Don’t be surprised as your habit of graciously saying “thank you” turns into even more to be thankful for.

17. Say “Thank you” every time you’re served by someone

Your 20 seconds of daily courage will most consistently involve saying “no” to stuff that doesn’t really matter. “No more yes. It’s either HELL YEAH! or no.” — <a href="https://sivers.org/hellyeah">Derek Sivers</a>

16. Say “No” to people, obligations, requests, and opportunities you’re not interested in from now on

Cold water triggers a wave of mood-boosting neurochemicals which make you feel happy.Just do it for 60–90 seconds, then get out. You’ll be very pleased.

15. Replace warm showers with cold ones

Sleep is just as important as eating and drinking water. Despite this, millions of people do not sleep enough and experience insane problems as a result.

14. Get 7+ hours of sleep each night

Waking up early allows you to proactively and consciously design your day. You can start with a morning routine that sets the tone for your whole day.

13. Go to bed early and rise early

Taking the time to spontaneously — as well as planned — helping other people is one of the greatest joys in life.As <a href="https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2008/10/finding-joy-in-the-journey?lang=eng&_r=1">Thomas Monson</a> has said, “Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved.”

12. Do something kind for someone else daily

Twenty seconds of fear is all you need. If you courageously confront fear for 20 seconds every single day, before you know it, you’ll be in a different socio-economic and social situation.

11. Do something everyday that terrifies you

When you detox from the toxic filth that is public news, you’ll be startled as your worldview becomes radically more optimistic.

10. Stop consuming the news or reading the newspaper

You’ll be blown away by how much more connected you feel to your loved ones when you can give them your undivided attention.

9. Fast from the internet 24 hours once per week

Like all the other habits, fasting gets easier with practice.asting is also one of the most recognized techniques in religious and spiritual practices.

8. Fast from all food and caloric beverages 24 hours once per week

Refined sugar has now been shown to make us cranky, make us make rash decisions, and make us stupid.Like caffeine, if you stop eating refined sugar, you will experience some negative withdrawals.

7. Stop consuming refined sugar

What are the things you absolutely must do before you die?The death-bed mentality is the only way to live. Stop pretending you’ll live forever.

6. Make a bucket list and actively knock items off

You will never find a better personal development seminar or book than marriage. It will highlight all of your flaws and weaknesses, challenging you to become a better person than you ever thought possible.

5. Marry the person you love

This habit will change your life. Your journal will:<ul><li>Clear your emotions serving as your personal therapist</li><li>Detail your personal history</li><li>Enhance your creativity</li><li>Ingrain and enhance your learning</li><li>Help you get clarity on the future you want to create</li><li>Accelerate your ability to manifest your goals</li><li>Increase your gratitude</li><li>Improve your writing skills</li></ul>

4. Write in your journal 5 minutes per day

Ordinary people seek entertainment. Extraordinary people seek education and learning.

3. Read 1 book per week

Whatever your approach, the goal should be clarity and focus.

2. Pray or meditate morning, mid-day, and night

We’ve become so dependent on caffeine that we use it to simply get back to our status-quo. When we’re off it, we under perform and become incapable.After a few days without caffeine, you’ll develop confidence in your ability to function without it.

We don't have to become slaves of our own goals, but rather, we should create them in order to know the direction we are heading to.

1. Set Realistic Goals

It's necessary to rely on science-based tools for motivating ourselves. It's not enough to rely on motivational videos we watch on the internet.

2. Create the Motivation to Make them Happen

If we had to decide whether we should or not execute to achieve our goals, we could be tempted to say things like: "I will do it next year". Therefore, it's important to avoid thinking a lot on deciding what to do next. The only way of doing so is by creating habits.

3. Automate Behaviours to Execute on them

What Do We Need In Order to Achieve Our New Year's Resolution?

Turn your bedroom into one. Get a kettlebell and some resistance bands. You’re good to go. There are a million YouTube videos about working out from home.

1. Working out — Don’t have a home gym? 

It’s not like you have to be anywhere. If you can’t get 8-9 hours of sleep at night, squeeze in some naps during the day. It’s good for your immune system and you’ll feel better. But you must adjust your mindset: Instead of grabbing your phone, grab a pillow.

2. Sleeping (a lot)

I’m spending this time together with my close family. It’s more about being around people you genuinely care about. That will lift your spirits and give you energy.

3. Spending time with people you love

Everybody should know how their body functions. I also like to read about the latest scientific research about health and fitness.

It’s always nice to sit down at the end of a day and reflect. What did I do today? What did I learn? What am I going to do tomorrow? Answering those questions is the best time you’ll spend every day.

5. Journaling

Always be learning a new skill. I started practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu a year and a half ago. But I can’t go to classes now. I also picked up archery a while back. Fortunately, I have enough space at my office so I built a small indoor archery set up. I always want to learn a new skill because it reminds me that I’m always a student.

6. Learning a skill

— I like to read and hear about investing strategies of different people. Even though I consider myself a value investor, I still look at what day traders do. I’m interested in finance because I don’t want to waste my hard-earned money. This will come in handy when the coronavirus crisis is over.

7. Making a financial strategy

I start and close my day with reading. And I never miss a day.

8. Reading

We're wasting more of our time than usual now. Ask yourself: Are the things that I’m doing while I'm quarantined worth my extra time?
