  1. Do not sweat over the small things in life which can be easily changed or fixed. E.g.


    If your watch stops working, either get it fixed or get a new one.
  2. Always take preventive measures of all your belongings including relationships.
  3. Keep a good stock of everyday supplies.


    Don’t wait for the gas tank in your car to reach the empty spot. As soon as you see the gas indicator nearing the empty spot, get it filled. Keep a healthy supply of clean clothes and food in the house.
  4. Restrict the caffeine content in your daily consumption.
  5. Get yourself ready for next day the previous evening itself. This will give you a head start and will help avoid all possible delays and distractions.
  6. Always keep a back-up plan to whatever you do. This will help if the original plan does not work out the way you wanted it to.
  7. Make duplicate keys and keep them in a safe place. Always carry a set of keys with you and hide them in such a place that only you are aware of.
  8. Ask questions when someone assigns you a task or expects something out of you. It is very important to get clear directions rather than being confused and hence lowering that person’s expectations.
  9. Make things as simple as possible.
  10. Don’t depend upon your memory. Note down all your appointments and important things on a piece of paper and carry it along.
