How To Take Action
I would suggest implementing a strategy to enjoy life more by focusing on what truly makes you happy each day. Start by looking back at the past year and identify your top 10% days—the days you felt most fulfilled and joyful.
A good way of doing this is to notice common threads in those days. For me, the best days involved working out, eating with friends, and working hard until I had nothing left. Try to incorporate similar patterns into your daily routine. If working out makes you feel great, make time for it, even if it’s just a quick home exercise.
Invite friends for simple meals or coffee to enjoy socializing without spending much money. These can be quick meetups that fit into both your schedules easily.
Finally, focus on working deeply on tasks to exhaustion—this doesn’t have to be about working long hours but about working effectively and passionately on something you love or need to accomplish. This could mean dedicating time to a personal project, learning something new, or tackling work tasks with renewed enthusiasm.
By routinely including these activities that make you happy, you can transform more of your regular days into top 10% days, bringing greater satisfaction and fulfillment into your everyday life without requiring major time or financial investment.
