1. Watching rubbish on TV

Stop wasting time by watching rubbish on TV! How many times have you sat through an entire TV show or movie and then complained about how awful it was?! We’ve all done it and wasted our time. So, switch off the TV when something is boring, and put that time to use for something more productive.

2. Putting on your make-up before you go to the gym

You are only going to get hot and sweaty when you work out, and make up is going to make you feel uncomfortable or make your face break out. So why you bother putting on make-up before you go to a gym or play a sport?  Save time and give make-up a miss, no one will notice anyway.

3. Worrying about what other people think

Become happier and stop stressing over what other people think about you - it is a complete waste of your valuable time. As long as you’re happy with who you are, that’s all that counts.  You won’t change other people’s mind about you anyway, so let them get on with it!

4. Posting everything you do on Facebook or/and other Social Media

Are you one of those people who take photos of every event of the day and then pass that news onto your followers­? Calculate the amount of time you are wasting on that and then ask yourself if the world really needs to know what you had for lunch.

5. Gossiping

OK, so gossiping can be fun, but you have to draw the line somewhere. No one can resist a little bit of gossip, but it won’t actually get you any further with the things that you should be spending your time on. Slim down your daily gossip quota and spend more time on yourself.

6. Doing things that you hate doing

If you hate doing it, then why on earth are you doing it at all?! You only live once, so fill your life with things that you enjoy. If it’s a chore that absolutely has to be done, than get it done quickly. If it is not something essential, then leave it, and move on to something that will fun.

7. Complaining about how bad your life is

If you really do think that life has dealt you a bad hand, then shuffle the pack and deal yourself a new one! Complaining won’t fix any problems, so stand up for yourself, and make the changes that you know are needed to make your happy.

8. Worrying about the past

You can’t change the past, so why worry about it? Sitting in a daze, wondering if you could have done something differently, won’t make any difference to what you actually did. Forget it and concentrate on what you are doing now.
