21. Make your bed a comfort zone. Choose some soft or silky sheets, a fluffy down comforter, lots of plumped up pillows for nighttime reading, an afghan to curl up in, soft lighting (switch to a 25 watt bulb), and music in your bedroom (even if just a portable radio or CD player). For a treat, scent your sheets by adding a couple drops of scented oil on a washcloth thrown in with them in the dryer.

22. Rethink your interior space at home or at work, and take a second look at how you've arranged things. Paint a new color on your walls or ceiling. Get room-darkening shades if the light wakes you up. Create hidden storage spaces such as under your bed for things cluttering your life. Buy woven baskets to store papers.

Free Up Your Time
23. Free yourself from the endless flipping through catalogs. There's all that time spent perusing, flagging items, deciding what to get and finally ordering the ones you want (not to mention all that time spent on returns of sizes that don't fit or products that don't live up to their catalog pictures).

24. Buy a week's supply of paper plates, cups and plastic silverware, and give up doing the dishes. Instead, go on an after-dinner walk or bike ride with your family.

25. Just do that thing hanging over your head! Thinking about doing something often requires more energy than actually doing it. Every time you pass by that growing pile of bills it drains your energy. Don't think about organizing your desk, just do it. Don't think about taking the pile of clothes to the dry cleaners, just do it. The weight that will be lifted by getting something off your to-do list will be well worth the one-time spurt of energy it takes to tackle the task.
