Hacking Adulthood or maybe not

Here are some lifehacks that will change your life if you follow them through thoroughly so you can achieve the life you always dream of... Lots of Money and a nice retirement pot:

1. Wake up every morning at 5.30
 > So you can do your yoga, read a book, take a shower, have breakfast, do your meditation and write on a piece of paper what you are grateful for (i.e. you have a 40hjob, that pays you £20000 and house not completely paid yet but still) 

2. Smile at work
> Because people like people who smile

3. Overload with stuff to do, you are so lucky, use an app to help you manage it all, or get an IPAD

4. Cook up your food on Sunday for the week so you do not have to cook at all and have more time for yourself > ...

5. Read 2min long story to your child, they will be happy and you will be quicker in bed

6. Put an alarm on your phone so you can remember to go to bed and to wake up

Horrid Airbnb Experience - Getting in touch with Airbnb

After our adventure with B., the recovering alcoholic, I decided to look through Airbnb for some cues on B.

Only one person said that ''he could not stay anymore in their property'' - does that mean that he could stay because he wrecked the place? or because they had a change of plan? Who knows.
