12 Ways To Simplify Your Life email this discussion to a friend?

As I was skimming through the article, I realized that it would be a good idea to share it. I know that most of them are things that I need to work on. For instance, learning to say no, having a place for everything, not being a slave to e-mail and automatic bill pay. I need to learn the art of saying no when I do not want to do something, instead of saying yes, just because I feel I would feel guilty if I said yes.
As far as finding a place for everything, I guess I should start by finding a bigger place. Anybody who post on Mylot is going to be a slave to e-mail. And I just don't trust any company enough to allow them to just pull money from my account on a monthly basis. I want to approve of the chargers, before sending them any money. Read all twelve and let me know which ones work for you and which don't.

I know what you mean. I prefer to make the monthly payments online and not set it at automatic especially if the amounts differ month to month. Gotta make sure there is enough in the bank before I can send it off:)

I'll go and read the list:O) thanks Rozie.

Alright, I can not believe that I forgot again. At least I have a good excuse. I am completely stressed out, which I will discuss a little later. Anyway, I will try to find the link again.

Hey Darlin, I don't see the link. But I can make some comments on what you have said. I do spend lots of time on my email, of course mostly mylot like you said. I don't do automatic bill pay neither. I would love to be organized and have a place for everything. I have the pile system, a pile here and a plie there, at least I know whats in the pile, well most of the time, hehe.


myLot reputation of 80/100. Rozie37 (7152)   ranked 2,551 out of 38,325 in life  1 year ago

Hey the pile system works for me to. As long as I have a clear path to walk, no problem, hehe. By the way, here is the link,

Thanks for the link, you have no idea how many times I have done this exact thing. I make a post about a certain link and then forget to include the link, and then sometimes the link doesn't work, oh well, I am glad I am amoung friends.

Yes you are among friends. I have forgotten several times and once you click to post the subject, there is no way to go back and add anything. So you have to try to wait for the first response and see if you can post it there and hope that others find it. Have a wonderful day my friend.

I really would like to have a look on the article you mentioned here regarding the twelve ways to simplify one's life. Unfortunately, I don't know where the site is. I guess you've forgotten to include the site.
Anyway, I absolutely mean to organize my own life and eliminate some chaos here. We've been experiencing some struggles for quite some time now; specially in matters of our finances. I have to admit that I'm a victim of the "credit card habit".
When I was pregnant three years ago, I did not receive any monetary maternal benefit from SSS (Social Security System), a local private institution handling SSS members' contributions and giving out salary and housing loans. Due to this, my husband and I had no choice but to utilize our credit cards to purchase various grocery items and merchandise. After some time and until now, we're still indebted to these companies.
If I would be given a choice, I'd like to stop using these cards as I do get tempted to purchase more than we could definitely afford.

The exact same thing happened to my sister when she was pregnant with her first child, nearly 21 years ago. They had not sent her check for about seven months into the pregnancy. Then all of a sudden, she started getting lump sums of back payment. We had so much fun shopping for the baby, after that. So I know how stressful that can be from watching my sister go through it.

I would love to read all 12 Rozie, however I don't see the list. Was it an article on line that you were reading?whistle


myLot reputation of 90/100. Linda4ualways (1123)   ranked 1,397 out of 38,325 in life  1 year ago

glareI got it Rozie and I need help with all of them especially with cleaning out my closets (which were supposed to be done months agowhistle) and the cleaning out of my purse. It gets so crazy in there. I had to learn how to say now a few years back and it has made things better for me. There was this one person in particular who I spoiled with giving money and it only bothered me for the simple fact that when I was down and out, I couldn't receive any help and she had her grown daughter living with her and she would always complain about her daughter not helping out around the house as far as cleaning or with the finances. Mind you, I am a single mom with 3 boys.

So I said enough is enough, no more giving out money during tax time and in between that. I know she misses it but hey, I had no choice. The article was very informative and I thank you for sharinghappy.

You were like me, you had a hard time sayig no when you felt that a person had a genuine need. But there still comes a time when a person has to face the problems in their own life and deal with them so that they themselves can become self sufficient. If you continue to bail them out, it will not help, but cripple them in the long run. I am glad that this article was enlightening for you, as it was for me also.
