Over the past couple of years, I have grown to appreciate the question and answer platform Quora. I find it fascinating to be able to learn so much from so many knowledgeable people. This question “How can I make my life simpler?” and the answer Garrick Saito provided is amazing, I had to share. You can find the original question and different answers here. I hope this helps.

  1. Ask for help
  2. Carry less stuff in your pockets/purse
  3. Clean out your house, purge your belongings of anything you haven’t used in five years
  4. Eliminate clutter on your desk
  5. Eliminate time wasting activities
  6. Eliminate two things for every new thing you acquire
  7. Hire some help, housekeeper, gardener, etc.
  8. If something can be done in two minutes, do it right now.
  9. Know your limitations
  10. Learn to identify and toss junk mail before it even gets to your desk
  11. Learn to say no

  14. Live frugally, want less
  15. Limit time you spend on any given activity (TV, media, Internet)
