It’s easy to do. Sit down for about 10 minutes and write down a list of things that make you happy. These should be activities that you will always enjoy and will never become a chore to do. For example, here’s some of the items on my Joy List:

  • play guitar
  • talk to my girlfriend
  • listen to music
  • read for pleasure
  • eat homecooked food from my mom
  • drink press pot coffee

Once you have your list, post it somewhere that you’ll see everyday. Then everyday, make it a habit to do at least 3 things from your Joy List. As time goes on, you can add or erase entries from the list, but make it a point to do 3 things on the list everyday. You’ll be a happier person.
