How would you simplify your life?

I am trying to that, first by getting rid of all the clutter in my house. Cleaning out closets and getting rid of junk that's been around forever. I think too much clutter causes stress. Then next, I need to get my priorities in order, do what needs to be done the most, and let the small stuff go, or delegate it to someone else! We all have such busy lives; we need to stop and think about what is important to us and what is not so important!

That question really has me thinking. I think everything is so fast paced. If we would just slow down a little and let things happen. Have everything in our homes organized and be ready for changes in plans. That is what throws me the most is having to change plans. For me, I would need to slow down and quit thinking so much, just enjoy the moment.

I can't really think of any ways that I would simplify my already simple life now. I have what I want and what I need, and I make it a point to live inexpensively, and not to try to "keep up with the jones." I think I am doing pretty good. Good luck to you.

In my opinion to simplify your life is to manage them and not to be manage by them.You must have a target and bouild your way to this target as you wish.Hope it help a little.

My hubby and I have been asking ourselves that very same question, and this is what we have come up with after weeks of contemplation. Firstly, we live in a huge house and there is just the two of us now so we don't need the space anymore. We have decided to downsize and get a smaller house. That means selling a lot of our furniture, getting rid of things round the house that we don't need or use, and clothes that haven't been worn for years and never will! De-clutter is the word I'm looking for. It frees up your mind to concentrate on things that really matter. It's a great feeling. By de-cluttering our lives, we are simplifying our lives. Good luck, hope this helps.

I would take a look at what I do for me and what I do for others. Sometimes our lives get complicated because too many people depend on us for too many things. If this is the case you may be able to lighten your load by letting them fend for themselves if they can. Do you have too many commitments? Can some of those be cut out. Are you organized? I try to combine trips and chores whenever I can. Hope this helps.

Cut up all your credit cards but one. Reduce your 'out of home' activities. Plant a garden and make it your summer project every year. Set aside regualar 'me' time and regular 'us' time. Don't be so available to everyone who asks - that's a hard one, but in the end, the best one for everyone - makes others more self-reliant and takes a tremendous amount of stress off of you.
