Hacks for Idiots

1. Drink water when you are thirsty.
You will live longer than if you do not.

2. Rise a little earlier if you must be somewhere.
Time does not bargain with men.

3. Write things down.
Memory is brave until Tuesday.

4. Leave your keys where you left them yesterday.
The house is not hunting you.

5. When you are cold, put on another jumper.
Winter has never respected optimism.

6. Take a list to the shop.
Hunger buys foolishly.

7. Charge your telephone before it dies.
Dead machines answer no one.

8. Put food in the fridge before it spoils.
Rot is patient.

9. Empty the rubbish before it begins to smell.
Decay always keeps it's appointment.

10.Wash the cup after you drink from it.
Tomorrow is improved by small work done today.

There are no hacks. 
There is only paying attention. 
Most of what men call wisdom is old enough to have forgotten whoever first said it.
The rest is advertising. Etc.
