8 ways I do to simplify my life
- Be Honest! Yes, it can be tempting and may look simple at the time to put out „white lies“, but usually it comes right in your back some way or another. Good sentence I once heard some time ago; Don’t lie, then you don’t have to remember anything
- Organize your day, week and month. It may quite a work in the beginning when you are setting it up and getting used to it. But in the long run, it makes life far less chaotic.
- Clean up. Right after you’re done with dinner, wash the plates or put them into the dishwasher. I know, believe me, how tempting it can be to say to yourself; “I’ll do it in a while or perhaps in the morning” but the feeling of a clean house is wonderful. If you live alone it’s not complicated, all the work is yours, but hey, the mess is also yours, right?
- Make a to do list. Do it daily, my choice is in the evening because then I can go soundly to sleep and I don’t have to do it in the morning, lot of things to do then anyway Also then you have enough time to prioritize what things have to be done first and what can wait. Then in the morning go over the list and start
- Face your financial status. It’s unbelievable the good influence it has on you to know your financial status. We tend to do way to much out of our financial status. But no matter how your status is, it’s always better to know so you can start improving it
- Declutter your wardrobe! This is a very powerful tip to simplify your life. Give away or sell the stuff you never use. Do you use everything in there? Do you like everything there? Be honest with yourself and throw away the thought “I might have to use this sometime”, and believe me that thought will rise a lot.
- Everything has its home! This is quite simple, you just decide where you keep different things for example the bills go into this box, I keep pens in this drawer and the hair products in that shelf. When everything has its place you know where to get it and put it so they are less likely to pile up in a mess somewhere in the house.
- Shop groceries once a week. Me and my wife just recently started doing this. And boy, what a huge difference! We sit down every Tuesday and make a list of what we need and what we want, after we’ve made the menu for the following week. We don’t have many boundaries aside from our weekly food budget. We follow two simple rules, only shop once a week and just buy what is on the list! Good moneysaving trick, timesaving and also good for the environment

Hey, nice post, really well written. You should write more about this.
I think i’ve seen this somewhere before…but it’s not bad at all
hh. bookmarked
thanks for your opinions, i really value your input
Thanks for this Ben, I´ve been doing some of this, or most of it for some time. The main thing with me is to keep doing these good things. I tend to slack of at times
But I can also be a tough master so I try to cut myself some slack on these things as well.
The shopping once a week is incredibly good to do, saves a bunch of money and time.
I´ve never thought about the wardrobe thing, gotta try that
Thanks again.
Namaste
