50 Tiny Ways To Simplify Your Daily Life

50 Tiny Ways To Simplify Your Daily Life

Each one of us feel there is so much to do in life but the only time we have in our hands are those 24 hours that get credited to our lives just like a bank account. How we spend this time and what we do during this time helps us to lead a better life in future.

Now that all of us are working from home and rarely going outdoors, I thought of jotting down a few ways that I have gathered all my life that has helped me to be the person I am. The ways I am noting today may not be in a systematic manner as I want it to be as raw as possible and leave it up to the audience that is YOU to read and choose what’s best for each one of you.
