Description: Episode 43 -  What makes us happy? Lots of things. Whether being happy means getting through things quicker, spending more time focusing on what's important, or being inspired - here are some ideas. Some of the USEFUL stuff in there is: A recommendation from Charles Duhigg (Author of Smarter Faster Better and The Power of Habit) It was this excellent piece by Alice Boyes at Harvard Business Review: Why we fail at focusing on what's important How to change that Schedule time for them Isolate the most impactful bits Anticipate and manage your feelings of anxiety Spend less time on unimportant tasks Prioritise tasks that will reduce your number of urgent/unimportant tasks Pay attention to what helps you see and track the bigger picture A podcast recommendation we've made before - 10% Happier Being happy doesn't just mean laughing, it can also come from feeling uplifted The latest episodes of 10% Happier do just that, give them a listen If you want to just get things done in the day we found a resource with 5 quick tips It was compiled by Ashley Stahl at Forbes.com We've covered these tips in various guises before, but they are worth revisiting and checking in with ourselves by asking, "Do I do these well?" Stop multitasking Take breaks Set small goals Take care of the biggest tasks when you are most alert Implement the two minute rule Question - What are you doing when you are happiest? The answer may not be what you think We look at and listen to the Ted Talk by Matt Killingsworth He explains how he created an app that 15,000 people responded to From 650,000 reports, he learned that there is one thing we're doing more than anything else when we are happy You'll have to watch the talk, or listen to the episode to find out!
