I recently saw a statistic that the average American wastes 400 hours a year looking for things … that’s over an hour a day! Think of what you could be doing with that hour … we all have the same 24 hours in a day. The difference in a person’s life is how they choose to use that hour. Combine that lost hour with choices to watch TV or play on the computer and you can see how different your life could be if you made better choices.
Let’s make a conscious choice to spring into April with a new mindset: better choices on how we craft our lives. What do you truly want to accomplish this year? If you have not put goals to paper, now is the time to do so. At the top of the list put: to simplify my life in all ways. Set up systems and routines for repetitive tasks. Set a timer and take 15 minutes a day and declutter your stuff. Less stuff … less piles to sort through to find what you need … more time to fill with happiness and joy.
