Simplicity
Voluntary Simplicity & Simple Living Resource Guide - What is Voluntary Simplicity?
This is an interesting article that outlines 'rules' to simplify your life. I have been giving this more and more thought and I think everyone needs to consider your work/life balance.
The biggest problem I have is #3 - limit your work outside the home to 30 hours a week. Hmmmm. How about 50-60?
My favorites are #1 (Mass balance) and #10 - Practice saying no.
Mass balance is something we are discussing at home. Nothing comes into the house unless something of equivalent size/mass/density goes out (sold, thrown out, bartered, given away). We are making headway, but its a work-in-progress.
Practice saying no - I have to focus on getting more done with the time I have and this includes saying no to things I might otherwise take on. This would include, but not be limited to Local School Board, new hobbies, expanding existing hobbies/obsessions and graduate school.
