Welcome back to We Can Do Hard Things. Thank you so much for really sticking there with us with all of these hard things we've been discussing over the last month. Today, we are going to talk to you about some life-changing ideas to make your life easier. This is, we can do easy things, life hacks.
Well, on the surface, they might feel like hard things. Oh no, really? Yeah. I mean, cause these are life hacks, but sometimes some of these hacks I think are going to be difficult. Okay. They're hard for me. Well, it's as easy as I get.
And since it's college. Right. Okay. Oh, I got it. I was a little late, but I got it. I was like, you didn't work hard in college. Oh, I get it. You were easy in college? I mean, I wasn't hard. I'll tell you that. Can we all talk about what a hack is? Sister, what's your definition of a life hack?
I think hacks are things that people have discovered that simplify life. or streamline a small or big part of their life that if we all added to our portfolio of skills, we might make some things easier for ourselves.
That was like the most amazing definition of efficiency.
Do you have it written down? No, I just got it. That was outrageous. So we have some categories here. We've got Overall life hacks, we've got some relationship hacks. We've got some- Tech hacks. Home hacks, tech hacks. Travel hacks. Relationship hacks. Travel hacks.
And- We have pod squad hacks. Pod squad hacks. That you have written into us or called with voicemails. We are very grateful. We are incorporating your hacks. Yeah. For me, I feel like life hacks are things also to help lessen suffering. Really, all I'm trying to do is suffer less suffering. Right. It's the idea of try easier. Yes.
We can try harder and in some ways we need to, but in some ways we just need to try easier. That's right. That's right. And there are tricks that you can use to suffer less. That is how I feel about life hacks. So my first overall hack is called eat the frog. Where did that come from? Well, A lot of people attribute it to Mark Twain.
There was like this quote that Mark Twain said that if you eat a live frog first thing in the morning, then nothing worse than that will ever happen to you throughout the day. Ain't that the truth? Which is kind of funny because it's like, just do a terrible, horrific thing and then everything's up from there.
