I came across this article entitled “Tips for Simplifying Your Life” and it amazed me after I read it just how many times I have seen similar articles on this very subject.  Anyway, I thought about it for a while and decided to break it down based on how they did it, so here we go.

1: Turn off the TV.  The way I see it, there is really nothing on anymore.  I have over 200 channels and, with the exception of a few shows, there is really nothing on that excites me anymore.  However, if you are one of those that just can’t miss a show, a DVR might be your best bet as it will allow you to watch TV whenever you want to.

2: Limit the time you spend online.  Yeah, here is where I fall short as I spend a lot of time online and not enough time doing other things.  When you are blogging, chatting, or working on the personal site, it is very easy to lose track of time.

3: Don’t nuke your food.  Well this is something that will be hard to give up as I view the microwave as a really big convience.

4: Did cavemen drink soda and frozen juices?  I have always heard that if you give up sodas for a year that you can lose weight.  Well I have decided to put that to the test and so we shall see whether or not that is true, so get back with me later on that.

5: Stop and take a deep breath.  I can’t even begin to count the number of times that I have lost track of time because of how stressed out I was.  For me, becoming stressed always took my mind off the more important things because I was always dwelling on the things that I was stressed out about.  Clearing your mind and refocusing on the tasks that need to get done that day will help you avoid doing things at the last minute or, worse yet, forgetting to do them at all.

6: Move.  I am beginning to view exercise as an essential par of daily life and with especially what I will be doing in the coming months.  Sometimes stress can be caused by not being physically or mentally fit.  I am definitely living proof of that.  Sitting around and doing nothing can also lead to depression, which is why I must always try to be doing something.

Anyway, this is how I applied it to my own life.  Check out the article and see how you can apply it to yours.
