I have 2.5 goals this year. This post will focus on the first goal to Simplify my life. This will take the majority of my time and resources. So it will focus on my “How-to” building the foundation. It will probably take two or three-part posts. Depending on its complexity. Yeah, Being simple can be very difficult in the beginning.
There’s a lot of good and bad information out there. I’ve read a lot about wanting to live a Simple life. Some think you need to get rid of everything and wear the same clothes. Have black and white furniture, cook basic meals, work 9 to 5, then go home to watch TV, go to bed and repeat.
To me a simple life doesn’t mean easy or boring; on the contrary, it can give you time to live a life full of Adventure, Travel, Mystery and basically whatever you want in this life…. It takes a lot of hard work and some sacrifices.
My health may limit me, but I think it’s worth trying at least. I have other reasons why I picked this as a goal. I may discuss it later but for now. These are the steps I’ve already started. I’ll go into more detail in my next post.
– Plan what I want for the rest of my life and write it all down. (It doesn’t need to make any sense now; just write.)
– Minimize living area (Minimalist) (In progress)
– Start using the Pomodoro Technique
– Create a no-distraction area. (In progress)
– Work on a Growth Mindset. (In progress)
– Create a sustainable Health/Fitness routine (In progress)(Needs research)
– Keep everything in its place. (In progress)
– Establish morning and evening routines. (In progress)(Needs research)
– Do what is most important first thing in the morning. Plan the night before. (In progress)
– Spend time only on what is important, and only say Yes to what I think is important to my Goal. No to everything else. (Will cause problems)(In progress)
– Clean as I go. Once a week deep clean. Including laundry if needed. (In progress)
– Cook for the week on the weekend. (In progress)
– Create a living budget (Needs research/ help)
Yes, it kind of reads boring, but I won’t be caught up with the craziness of the things that are out of my control. Or other people’s drama unless I choose to be. This is just the foundation. I also postponed my ukulele challenge because of this goal. Getting a strong foundation is so important for anything worthwhile don’t you think?
