Imagine being on top of all your priority to-dos in life. Wouldn't that feel so good? There is so much peace that comes with knowing that everything is getting done when it needs to be done.

 For today's episode I do a little review of some of my favorite time management techniques.

And then I have a challenge for you to try. It's something I actually did myself this weekend... and it was AMAZING!

Recently, I was so caught up in my life that I didn't take the time to show appreciation to a few people who really deserved it. Too often I have let those little opportunities to bless others who have blessed me slip right through my fingers.

On my quest to simplify my life I want to focus on what's really important to me. People are important to me. Showing gratitude is sooo important to me.

Today, I share with you my commitment to always take the time to give credit where credit is due.

Life changes. It evolves. It advances. And as it does more things tend come into our lives. More stuff, more work, more technology, more distractions. We keep squeezing a little bit more in here and a little bit more in there. It happens to all of us. Our culture and society thrives off of the idea of "more".

But then eventually, sometimes, we get to the point when life can get a little overwhelming. It can be hard to handle it all.

I know that we are almost programmed to believe that more is better. But today, I propose an alternative to this way of thinking. For the sake of peace of mind, serenity, joy, happiness, and true fulfillment (which we all strive for), I think we need to focus on less, not more.

Have less. Do less. And be more.

For today's episode, I give you 7 things in your life that you can stop accumulating today in order to live a simpler, happier life... 7 things to have less of so that you can be more.

Messy, cluttered, or disorganized? On today's episode I give you a quick quiz to help you figure out what category your space fall into. Keep in mind, you may find that you relate to a little bit of all three. And that's ok.

The first step to simplify your life is to identify the problem. Then make an action plan to do something about it.

No matter how "good" your relationship is with someone, there are definitely times when they can be a little messy... and in some unfortunate cases A LOT messy. And along with any kind of messiness in life comes stress and anxiety. Which then weighs down our heart, negatively effects our health, and clouds our happiness.

On this Encore Episode of Life Made Simple, we take a look at one amazing technique to simplify your relationships.

I practice this technique in my own life with many different kinds of relationships and believe me, it has helped relieve so much unnecessary stress! And I really believe, no matter how good or complicated your relationships are this technique can help you, too.

Click here for the free downloadable workbook that I created for you to go along with this episode.
