In today’s hectic world driven by the culture of busy, it’s easy to get swept up in the chaos. I’m a single dad and I work a full-time job as a college professor. I know that things can get busy. But I’ve found a few ways to help simplify life:

Try These To Simplify Your Life

Get up early: You know what they say about the worm, but that’s not all the early bird gets. The early bird gets more done around the house during the quiet hours. When you get up early, you get a head start on your chores.
Clean as you go: I used to work in restaurants. I was taught to “clean as you go.” Use this strategy at home. When the laundry basket is full, do a load. Do the dishes after each meal. This will simplify life more than you can imagine. I use the same strategy for my email.
Pay the bills on time: There’s nothing worse than the anxiety of unpaid bills hanging over your head. If you can, pay bills as soon as they’re delivered. This way you’ll escape the stress of worrying about them later.
Take naps: In today’s fast-paced world, an extra hour of sleep does wonders. It recharges your battery so you can get more done.
Eat at home: An occasional meal out is okay. But creating a routine at home will keep you healthy. Nothing kills the simple life like too many trips to the doctor. Simplify your life by eating healthy at home.
Shop less: Only buy what you need. Coordinate your shopping trips so that you can hit several places on the same outing. Buy enough food to last a couple weeks.
Take time for coffee or tea: Do you stop and sit? Coffee and tea can help you slow down. Take time to intentionally take short coffee and tea breaks.
Exercise: Walking is the perfect exercise. If you want to simplify your life, take a short walk several times a week. Walking allows you to slow down. It gives you time to think. You can accomplish more mental tasks than you’d think, all while walking.
Choose radio over TV: Turn off your TV. It’s mostly a waste of time. Radio, however, can work as inspiration and motivation. Music can soothe the soul. It can get you going while you’re working on projects around the house. Listen to more music to simplify life.
Go to bed on time: Don’t stay up too late. I wake up early. If I stay up late, I get less sleep. Less sleep leads to tiredness and complications. Set a bedtime and stick with it.
