17 New Year Hacks That You Need To Start Keeping

1.      Remember your Creator when the evil days have not come.

Commit your ways to Him and He shall direct your steps

2.      It's not how much you earn that matters, but how much you save.

3.      Don't save what's left after spending. Spend what's left after saving! 

4.      In 2016, don't spend more than 2hrs on social media daily, unless you earn a living online

5.      Conduct a personal SWOT analysis to determine your strengths and weaknesses and strike a balance

6.      Spend time and money only on things and people that truly matter.

7.      You can't be successful without personal discipline and values. 

8.      Integrity is a huge asset most people undermine. It's never too late to start working on your weaknesses regarding your integrity. We all love and admire people who are trust worthy and keep their promises

9.      Plan to start your own business and don't rely on salary which is like monthly period that comes once in a month and disappears after 5 days.

10.    Multiple streams of income is the best. Don't depend on a single source of income. Even Dangote doesn't

11.    Always aspire to learn and acquire new skills.

12.    Set realistic goals and create a means of evaluating how far you've gone with it. You can't achieve anything without first planning it

13.    Learn to reward yourself with gifts or inspire yourself by changing the position of certain items in your house especially your bedroom. Buy new items to replace or add with old ones once in a while.

14.    Remember to always help those around who truly need help but don't promise what you can't do.

15.    Don't allow societal pressures get to you. Don't live your life for others. Live within your means and be glad in it 

16.    It's important you exercise every morning. Some experts have argued that if you aren't committed and disciplined enough to keep to your daily exercises, then there's trouble!

Again, lots of health challenges today have been linked to lack of exercises, diets and/or inactivity

17.    You need to stay healthy, fit and alive to enjoy the fruit of your labour after all. 

A good piece of advice is like a woman's skirt, short enough to attract attention but long enough to cover the subject matter!
