Basic rules for life

I believe having a set of personal rules can lead to a more peaceful and productive life. After diving deep into lot of self-help materials, I’ve crafted a list of principles I want to follow daily. These rules reflect my personal thoughts and experiences, and while they work for me, they may not necessarily work for you. Feel free to take what resonates with you and leave the rest. Here’s my list after much reflection.

  • Remember you will die
  • Always guard your time.
  • Focus on what you can control.
  • Keep your body healthy.
  • Meditate daily.
  • Learn to be happy.
  • Be more kind.
  • Examine your life regularly and be aware of it.
  • Don’t take yourself so seriously.
  • Identify what you want in your life.
  • Plan and schedule everything.
  • Play long term games.
  • Do the work you love.
  • Never stop learning.

Please note that none of the above are original, it has been collected from various sources. And I hope I will add more rules to this as I encounter new experiences in life. Let me know if you have any specific rules for your life.
