Create to-do list
I admit, I have a problem: constantly keep forgetting. I was going to go somewhere to buy something or meet someone - all plans fly to hell if you do not fix them in any way. Why, I even have a list of most of these plans make forget. There is a suspicion that no such memory problems are for me alone. Still too many questions we have to keep in mind, hence the disruption.
Spend your free time on compiling a list of cases - from the urgent tasks to ideas that you would like to bring to life in the distant future. All things share the context. In his role can act as a place, such as home and work, and the direction of - career, personal life, or to bring the body in the proper form. For each context, line up on the most important tasks to those that have a low priority. Voila, your life plan ready in the near future.
To list I was always in sight, and you did not forget about its existence, use special applications. On Layfhakere repeatedly published reviews of the best services to plan.

Read something interesting
And I am talking not about mindlessly surfing the internet. There is an option pozanyatnee and benefit from it in many times greater than that of the regular scrolling news feeds in social networks.
On the free application "Pulse Time" Layfhaker already told you, in this collection without it definitely can not do.
"Pulse Time" - a collection of the best materials Runet. Here are collected the most fresh and interesting speakers and longridy appearing in popular magazines and blogs. What valuable news is a minimum. There are, of course, texts about current events, but the emphasis is on educational and entertainment materials.
Boring commuting to brighten morning newsletter about what is happening in the world, "7:40." It comes exactly at 7:40 subscribers of Odessa time, hence the name. That it is entirely taken by the news: in the newsletter compiled the most important information about what happened in the day. And it's not boring at all these facts, the news will tell you vividly and with sarcasm shares.
In total, the application is published 16 articles on a daily basis. The spectrum of topics covered is very wide - from history to science and art.
It turns out, "Pulse Time" performs two tasks: first, helping to entertain when on social networks already sick, secondly, broadens the mind.
If the reading you prefer watching a video, take a look at page creators in the Facebook application. Here you will find short educational videos on current topics. You know, for example, to leave Russia and to conquer America with a half-empty suitcase and $ 300 in your pocket? The answer is waiting for you at the link above.

Another class service - Gnoosic. You call him three of his favorite artists, and you in response to this offer new groups that are sure you will like.
Bring finances in order
If a lack of money in the purse still gets to you a complete surprise, it's time to do something about it. Proper budgeting and cost control will help to dispose of the maximum resources effectively and never face a situation when the money ran out, and to pay still very long.
To begin, analyze your spending. It is clear that, ideally, for this you need to keep at least a month, but try to estimate at least roughly - results in any case be very interesting. How much do you spend on average per visit supermarket? As often happens in entertainment establishments and how much there usually leave? I enjoy going to the movies or do you prefer to please yourself buying new things?
So, you have made an indicative list of expenses, now we will try to optimize it. For this we use a popular method of six pitchers. You have six major items of expenditure: daily necessities and paying bills - this should leave 55% of revenue, entertainment - 10% savings - 10%, education (here it is possible to turn the book) - 10% reserve for a rainy day - 10%, gifts and charity — 5%. Divide so your monthly income and try not to go beyond the boundaries of the resulting under each category amounts.
Activity that requires a sufficient concentration, so that nothing is forgotten, I advise you to use the application for the conduct of the budget. With them you will be able to take into account the income and expenses at any time and in any place. Performed well YNAB. This service allows the most efficient plan for spending and ensure that not inadvertently get into debt.
To study a foreign language
The path to the big goals consists of a chain of small steps. Master unfamiliar first language - the problem is quite serious, someone she can even frighten their complexity. In fact, enough to give classes at least half an hour, but every day.
Options on how to do, there are so many - from the use of educational applications to watch movies and listen to audio at the desired language. If you choose a video or audio recordings, try to immediately figure out the meaning of unfamiliar words heard, and ideally - to write it. So you'll be sure not to fly out of my head nothing.
With the app you can engage in any free minute - even on the road, even in the queue. Layfhaker repeatedly talked about the services to learn English, but now we will focus on one, but good.
Duolingo is suitable, and those who are just beginning to learn the language from scratch, and to those who already own them, but does not want to stop there. Thanks to the game submission process assignments becomes less tedious, so the chances are that in a couple of days you get tired of all this, small.
