At the end of the day there was always enough time to get the important things done. If the important things did not happen (e.g. writing this post today) I only have myself to blame. 24 hours is given to each (no matter how much time we ‘save’), and I must admit if I have not accomplished [...]

The disparate division of food on the globe causes problems not only for those who have too little, but the health effects are well known for those who have too much. The growth of shopping trolleys over the years and marketing methods used to influence people to consume more is well documented. This extra consumption [...]

The second half of the tower in Life Hack #48 is being built by daily doing ten press-ups. Our biceps at the front of the upper arm tend to be much stronger than the triceps at the rear, probably because

It may be difficult to build a tower at once. Though to build one over two years is a realistic objective. Building increased fitness each and every day by a modest amount of exercise is a simple process. You don’t have the time to go to the gym/workout/exercise/whatever-else?

It works on the premise that your input [...]

Days may come and go with no appreciable difference between each. Not much happened, “nothing new”, “same old same old” day in, day out. In order to effect change there must be something different that happens. Often when that something occurs it is involuntary, and we are forced to react to it. Far better to [...]

As mentioned in Life Hack #12, shocking your body into conciousness is not the best way to start the day. Observe how long it takes from initially regaining conciousness to being fully awake, and adjust the alarm clock sound accordingly. So if it takes five minutes to awake play a five minute audio track. For [...]

An alarm clock does the job. That’s why we use it. It’s purpose is to wake us up. However there is one rather large drawback from using it, as indicated by it’s name. We awake in a state of alarm. Not really an ideal start to any day – being shocked into conciousness. I’d also [...]
