Problem: Article: If you don’t get enough sleep, you’ll be groggy, tired, and prone to taking small breaks throughout your work day. On the other hand, you’ll be performing at the top of your game with enough rest. Set a strict bed time for yourself and stick to it. A healthy breakfast and nutritious dinner will keep your energy levels up and make it easier to focus at work. Eat balanced meals with proteins and vegetables, and avoid fast food. Limiting your alcohol consumption is a phenomenal way to make sure that you wake up alert and ready for work. If you can’t seem to figure out how you’re losing so much time throughout your day, take a minute at the end of your day and jot down everything that you did in a journal. You may notice certain patterns that you weren’t aware of just by tracking everything that you do in a single day. Reflecting at the end of the day is also a good way to prepare emotionally for the next day. It also gives you an added sense of completeness at the end of the day, which will bring you some peace before it’s time to sleep. Your commute provides you with an opportunity to get some work done if you take a train, bus, taxi, or rideshare service to work. Don’t waste time on your trips to work, and try to come up with simple, short tasks that need to get done and complete them while you travel. Getting through a lot of work emails will limit the amount of time that you waste responding and sorting your inbox during the day. Turn off audible and visual mail alerts unless they’re necessary for your job. Check your email at regularly scheduled times during the day to handle new messages, instead of dealing with each message as soon as it trickles in.  Deal with and respond to emails immediately. If it sits around in your inbox for too long, you’ll risk having to spend a large chunk of time responding to a bunch of emails all at once. Unsubscribe from newsletters and other communications that are not necessary for your work.
Summary: Get at least 8 hours of sleep before you have to get up for work. Eat healthy before and after work to improve your work performance. Take notes after each work day to spot troubling patterns. Complete smaller tasks during your commute whenever possible. Take care of emails outside of normal scheduled hours.

Problem: Article: It is important to your bird’s health that it has some time each day to fly outside its cage. You must be sure to create a safe environment for it to do so. Even cats that have grown up around birds will often try to kill them if given the chance. Many types of dogs will also do their best to kill birds. To be on the safe side, you should not let your bird out when other pets are in the room. If you do, make sure you are there as well to keep your bird safe. Birds love to chew on things, so make sure you remove all toxic plants before letting your bird out of its cage. For a list of toxic plants, see here. If it’s out, your bird will probably give it a try, and many human foods are toxic to birds, including:  Alcohol Chocolate Caffeine Avocado Raw meat Raw dairy Seeds from apples Pits from stone fruits (apricots, cherries, peaches, and plums) Peanuts Raw onions Cassava root Raw mushrooms Rhubarb Birds can drown in a glass of water, uncovered aquarium, or open toilet. If you are not going to keep a careful eye on your bird the entire time it is out of its cage, you’ll need to be sure to remove all access to open water to prevent drowning. Again, birds like to chew on anything they can get their beaks on. Hide electrical cords and wires to avoid electrocution, and put away antiques, which may be coated with heavy-metal based paints that can cause led-poisoning. First off, you’ll want to make sure doors and windows to the outside are closed to keep your pet from flying away. Secondly, you’ll need to always make sure your bird is not on the hinge area or the top of a door or cupboard you are closing, or you could accidently crush the legs of your pet. Birds can get their heads tangled in the strings and strangle themselves. Standing fans and ceiling fans can both cause serious injury or death to your bird. Always check to be sure they are off before letting your bird out of its cage. Your bird does not understand glass. It may injure itself by flying into a mirror or closed window. To prevent this, you can put decals on them so your bird knows they are solid, or simply lower the shades or cover your mirrors.
Summary: Allow your bird some time outside of their cage every day. Do not leave your bird alone with your other pets. Keep toxic houseplants out of the room. Put away dangerous human food. Do not leave out open water. Hide your wires and antiques. Keep an eye on doors, windows, and cabinets. Keep the strings for blinds behind the blinds. Turn off all fans. Cover or put decals on windows and mirrors.

Problem: Article: However cliche this statement may be, it holds some truth. Living with the idea that your time is limited can motivate you to accomplish your goals and cultivate gratitude for the beauty in life. Adopting this attitude can also give you insight into the things that are important to you. Ask yourself, "If I only had one year left, what would I want to accomplish?" Develop a personal mission statement that works according to your values. Stating who you are to the world—and to yourself—is one of the first steps to finding inner peace and happiness, which will likely make you want to keep going. You can take this one step further by completing an online inventory to determine your core values. Such assessments, like the one from the Barrett Values Centre, are designed to help you get a better sense of the variables driving your goals and decision-making. Ask yourself, “How do I want to be remembered? Am I doing the work I want to be remembered by?” The answer to these questions will probably lead you to knowing what your life's work. Once you know this, you can take the necessary steps to get yourself there, which can ultimately give you a goal and something to work on.  Don't mistake your life's work for work in general. Your job or occupation does not necessarily have to be your life's work. This is the work that allows you to share your talents, strengths, and experiences with others to improve the world around you. For some, parenting may be their life's work. For others, it may be starting a business or encouraging other's to start a business. It really depends on you. You can discover your life's work by paying attention to the things you are naturally good at, the things you absolutely enjoy doing. What can't you go without doing? Thinking about such activities can help you discover your life's work and give you a reason to go on. Adjust your expectations for life. Putting too much pressure on yourself is a sure way to not only experience failure, but to make you feel bad about yourself. It's OK if you have to scale back on your daily goals; doing so doesn't mean that you won't reach your ultimate goals. You'll just find a more realistic way to get there.  Start by defining smart goals. That is, those that are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound. For instance, you might say “I want to go back to school.” You will need to come up with a way to measure you progress towards this goal, determine if it is attainable and realistic for you, and set a deadline for reaching it.
Summary:
Live like there is no tomorrow. Define your personal values. Make sure you are doing your life's work. Set realistic goals and move toward them daily.
