Hello, i stumbled into one of my friends post on email and when i opened it, it was deleted and I don't know why. So, 1hopefulman, with your permission i am re posting it for you because i find this post very very informative which would benefit most of us,if this also gets deleted, i don't know for what reason. So, here it is:
Ways To Simplify Your Life
Turn off your cell phone.
Process email only twice a day.
Go to bed early.
Get rid of (or at least reduce) commitments that you do out of obligation.
Create a weekly meal plan.
Automate your finances.
Purge as much unneeded clutter as possible.
Keep your paper shredder on top of your recycling bin.
Add items you want to a wish list as you think of them.
Get a label maker or write labels out by hand.
Set your clothes out for the next day the night before.
Make your lunch for the next day the night before.
Make time to catch up with an old friend.
Just say no.
Ask for experiences not things for your birthday and Christmas this year.
Tell the truth.
Keep your list of addresses and phone numbers up to date.
Consolidate debt.
Create an organizing system that works for you.
Keep a bag for garbage in your car.
Cary a notebook and pen with you where ever you go.
Unsubscribe from emails, newsletters or RSS feeds that don’t provide value anymore.
Apologize immediately when you realize you’ve done wrong.
Enjoy the present moment as much as you can.

Yeah, i saw this post from him as well, but i dunno how come it got deleted.. BUt luckily for him, he has got another similiar one too.. haha =D I guess he will be appreciative of u, starting this again for him?? lol =D
And all of the above ways of simplifying life, as just too good.. It's a simple gesture, and yet majority of time, we tend to neglect it, and because it's no 'important' at all.. haha =D
NOw reading back, it seems easy, but how many of us actually do it? hehe

for your information, i have been doing that for the longest time. it's hard to it at first but once it becomes part of your routine, it does come naturally. Try it out , it also makes your life happier. No worries can overcome it.

Wow, our friend 1hopefulman seems to be well organized..glad you saved this for all of us..Thanks..
Perhaps I should copy this list and put it on my refrigerator and look at it every day. I would be happy if I could follow half of these great ways to simplify my life. 
Well, have to start somewhere. Hmm.. getting rid of all unnecessary things would help a lot..

Hi tigerdragon! I'm glad you were able to repost it and it is still here, as there are some very nice suggestions there. We can take what would help us from the list. It also serves as a good reminder.
