How to get rid of the routine in life for $ 560? Or how to live, not live





Colleagues and associates in the workshop, for the last few years I have been experiencing an internal transformation and are constantly in the process of finding happiness in life. In my 34s, I felt burnout, disappointment, and just depression and apathy, as they say the whole bouquet of middle age. But my restless brain at that time nevertheless fished out rational ideas and I want to share them with you in a note on improving the efficiency and comfort of everyday life of an IT-person. I will add one thing, I constantly travel between Russia and Ukraine (Moscow - Kiev) and I have to maintain 2 habitats, which increases my costs a bit. So, what interesting can I tell you.







1. Housewife 2 times a week - and oh gods, my house shone with cleanliness, I began to eat right and my things are always ironed and smell delicious. And for any girl who comes to visit - I'm just handsome with a perfect order.



Risks - you need to check the housewife carefully (criminal record, physical examination, video camera in the apartment), but when you find it, you will be happy.



Where to look - Bulletin boards, there are companies where you can order, but there are 2-3 times more expensive. The main thing is not to rush to agree, test 3-5 people and then choose.



Benefit - 5 stars

Saves time from 3 to 10 hours per week

Budget - $ 300 per month







2. Home delivery of products is another innovation that significantly saves me time and money, too. Like any man, I hate shopping, much less choose vegetables or eggs. Finding a normal food delivery rather than food is more difficult. In Kiev and Moscow, I refused delivery services from supermarkets, since the quality of the products they brought was not so hot, and turned to specialized supermarkets for delivering products. Both companies are great, prices are lower than in stores, products are selected classically, without rot and with normal periods, the only negative is the planning of receiving delivery. And the main plus - no need to drag bags every day, water and chemicals for the house - they all bring to the doorstep.



Benefit - 5 stars

Saves time from 3 to 10 hours per week

Budget - 0







3. Coach at home - it sounds somehow quite rich, but when you consider you will come to a different conclusion. 52 weeks or 100 lessons per year is about $ 2,000, which, firstly, do not need to be paid out immediately, and secondly, the trainer comes to you in the morning, conducts the training and leaves. The result is just a bomb (finally I got results, due to stable classes)



Need - 3 stars (you can do it yourself and train or enjoy the hike in the gym)

Where to find - Bulletin boards or sports halls.

Savings - 3-6 hours per week

Budget - 180 cu per month (2 times more expensive than just going to the gym, but the result is 4 times better)



4. A masseur at home is again something from the region that is expensive and rich, but believe me $ 15 for a masseur from a neighboring hospital per week is nothing with the result that you feel, I highly recommend it.



Need - 3 stars

Savings - 1-2 hours per week

Budget - 60 cu per month



Bottom line: on average per month, I save 3-6 days of life without doing routine work and spend only 540 dollars on this in one city per month. In return, I get a lot of buzz and pluses:

P.P.S. I do not know if this article is going to Habr format and it is useful to someone, but I wanted to write it, so you have a good day and put pluses if I told you something good.
