- Spend 10 mins a day doing absolutely nothing, alone, particularly before a meal.
- The Portuguese have a saying. ‘Think of many things, do one.’
- Take your name off junk mail lists, contact the Mailing Preference Service on 0207 291 3310 or mpsonline.org.uk
- For 2015 buy presents and cards when you see them throughout the year
- Hang clothes up when you take them off; take clothes you have not worn for 2 years to a charity shop
- Train all members of your household to do their share of chores
- Keep your mobile phone switched off occasionally – see if you can
- Leave a party early if it is turgid; put some sparkle into it if it is just not fun
- Drive in the slow lane
- Say No more, say Yes often
