Adult Rules

On my summer reading list was the book The Happiness Project, which I borrowed from a friend. I loved it so much, that I bought my own copy so I could highlight and annotate the death out of it. (If you haven't read it, you should!!) In the beginning of the book, the author, Gretchen Rubin, outlines a few of her "Rules of Adulthood" which I found highly entertaining and practical. These rules were influenced by her own experiences and lessons that she's learned in life. After reading her list, and being a list lover myself, I started to think of my own adulthood rules.

• Add 10 minutes to traveling time; 30 if you have kids 
• Burt's Bees is always needed 
• Sleep on it 
• Things work out the way they're supposed to work out 
• A clean sink makes the kitchen clean too 
• Don't hesitate to give out a compliment 
• No one pays attention to yourself more than you do 
• Pack a snack 
• A little makeup goes a long way 
• If you think you might regret not doing something ... then do it 
• Avoid going grocery shopping while you're hungry 
• Quality over quantity wins (except when considering q-tips - they're all basically the same) 
• Just because it's on sale, doesn't mean you can afford it 
• Not everyone will get your humor 
• Check your motives 
• Facebook official does NOT make it officially official 
• Somethings are better left unsaid 
• Doing things sooner somehow gets the task done in less time 

I'm sure I'll add more to this list as I get older, but I think it's a pretty good start!
Do you guys have any adult rules?
