Here are a few of my favorites of effective life hacks to consider:
Manage time well
Life is composed of days, days of hours, hours of minutes. And you only get one life. Make the most of it now.
Break goals into small objectives
Read a book a week, play catch with your son, go to the gym for a workout twice a week. Break gigantic projects into day-sized tasks. They are much easier to accomplish this way.
