Hacking Your Life with STILE

I announced stopped blogging couple of months ago but since then I discovered a simple life-hacking tip that I want to share with you. Here it goes - I pursue all of these things in every day of my life:
  • S / Sleep. If I turn in before midnight and manage to sleep through the night without longer periods of being awake, then I put an 'S' in my calendar.
  • T / Quality Time. If I have good time or even brief moments that I value, it can really be anything from a day-long solo hike or a passionate kiss from the woman I love, then I record a 'T'.
  • I / Intermittent Fasting. IF is a great routine but sometimes challenging to follow. Every time I manage to stick to my IF schedule, I record an 'I'.
  • L / Learning. Every time I spend time learning something, for instance practicing a bunny hop or doing a chess lesson, I record an 'L'.
  • E / Exercise. Whenever I do a workout or have any other sport activity, I record an 'E'.
Or all together, STILE. Do I succeed to get them all every day? Not at all. I actually achieved that feat maybe just twice. But that's not the point. I find it helpful to have at least one of these things every day. And to track them as tracking creates awareness and awareness helps to make pursuing these things a habit.

Let me know in comments if you strive for something similar. Or if there are other things that are more important to you. Everyone is different after all. Take care 👋
