4. Do nothing

Better yet, take #3 even further. Do less than less.... do nothing! Plan "nothing days". These are days when you have absolutely nothing that must be done -- days when anything you choose to do is right thing to do.

5. Do one thing at a time

If you can't bring yourself to doing less (or nothing), then slow down by simply doing one thing at a time. You'll focus more on each task you do (and you'll probably complete it faster, too).

6. Do things now

Not everything, just stuff that really must be done today. Pay your bills when they arrive, not day they're due. Take out trash when trash is full, not just on day garbage truck comes by.

7. Do something for someone else

Spend an hour each week helping your favorite charity . You'll quickly see how valuable time really is and you'll feel great by focusing on helping others.

Unfortunately, too many people these days get so busy working towards a lifestyle that they've decided they want that they forget to work as hard, if not harder, on person inside... so that when they finally get lifestyle they strived for, they're not happy with who they are.

Do you really want to have a great lifestyle but a lousy life?

What does your lifestyle matter to you, anyway?

Take some time today to figure out if you're living life or pursuing a lifestyle... Know for certain whether you are simply staying busy, collecting a whole bunch of stuff, or truly fulfilling your values.

After all, it's your life.
