It’s Time to Simplify

July 29, 2011 By 8 Comments

I love the concept of simplicity … don’t always follow it, though. A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about 30-day challenges, which are great. I think simplifying in the form of decluttering needs to be my next 30-day challenge.

Of course, 15 days will have overlapping challenges, since I started my first challenge in the middle of the month. But it’ll be worth the effort. This post inspired me to focus on simplicity right now: 21 Small Habits That Will Help You to Live a Simpler Life from the Positivity Blog.

Even though decluttering will be my August challenge toward a simpler life, I especially find this idea from the Positivity Blog post thought-provoking:

Ask yourself simplifying questions every day. Questions like “What is the most important thing I can do right now?”.

Summer is my favorite time of year, and I’m trying to fully appreciate it. Simplifying will help me do that.

    I am trying to do things more efficiently.

    But simplifying ? hmm i don’t know. I always want to do many things in the same time, maybe to many.

    Simplifying could mean “having clear goals”…in fact it could mean many things.

    If it means to have planned days, in order to achieve our goal without distractions then i simplified my life quite well.

      Thanks so much for your comment, Luke! I always want to do too many things at once, too! It’s definitely better than being lost and bored. I’m impressed if you have planned days. I’m still working on that – but I definitely must apply some decluttering and feng shui to my house first. :)

    Thanks for these thoughts and motivators to live life more simply. I like the idea of asking “what is the most important thing I can do right now?”
