4 Tips to Simplify Your Life
09/28/2017

A lot of you think you can do 84,000 things in a day and not feel stressed. Well news flash - you’re not Superman or Wonder Woman. You can’t do it all, especially not without neglecting those you love most. Here are 3 tips to simplify your daily hustle:

  1. Be willing to let your brain settle. Set aside days to recover mentally and physically. Put your feet up, read, take a nap, watch a movie, cuddle with your spouse, or take the dog for a walk. Otherwise, you’re running a marathon you can’t win.

  2. Know your limitations. If you put too much into too many things, you’re going to end up overstressed and overwhelmed. You can’t fix or do everything. Some days you’ll get more done than other days - that’s just how it goes.

  3. Make a list of your 10 most important obligations and responsibilities. It’s amazing how many people can’t narrow it down to 10. Figure out what your unessential essentials are.  

  4. Get your priorities straight. Stop prioritizing the wrong things for the wrong people.
