Time
Using all of yours on a project may seem like a badge of honor, but take a mindless break to boost creativity.
Make connections with people who provide support instead of racking up the biggest number of friends.
Parenting
Avoid coddling children by allowing them to experience healthy failures that they can grow and learn from.
Exercise
A short, focused workout can provide more benefits than simply walking as many steps as possible.
Housing
Don’t obsess over square footage; find a size within your means, then build from within.
