SIMPLIFYING YOUR HOME LIFE

Simplifying Your Home Life

Let's face it. Life can get complicated, complex and stressful very easily.
Luckily, there are plenty of ways to simplify your life, especially at home.
Here are some tips from the experts:
Don't be ruled by the TV guide. Instead, select what you want
to see and then record those shows. That way, you can watch
them anytime.
Prepare some meals in advance that can simply be heated up
as needed. That reduces a lot of "after-work, gotta-get-dinnerready"
stress.
Create a weekly dinner menu. It takes some time to prepare,
but it allows you to shop effectively, and greatly reduces the
stress of figuring out what to cook each day.
Don't accumulate stuff you don't want or need. Give those
things away.
Simplify your cleaning by dividing tasks into ten minute chunks
(such as vacuuming the living room.) Then fit those tasks in
here and there whenever you have ten minutes.
To avoid clutter, adopt the "touch it once" rule, which simply
means putting things where they belong right away.
Think of the home-related chore you hate doing most. Can you
outsource that to a local company, or a neighbour looking for
some work?
Limit the time you and others in your family spend checking
emails and text messages. Consider having an hour or two
each evening that's "no screen" time.
Develop healthy routines, such as evening walks and family
board game night.
These are just a few ideas. If you want to simplify your home life, you can
probably brainstorm several other strategies and habits you can try. The
idea is to make your home an enjoyable place to be – for you and your
family.
