This article is an introduction to simple living.
This lifestyle is not just about simplifying your life. It’s also about being more efficient and productive. By being more efficient, you decrease your stress and increase your productivity, which will reward you with more time and energy to focus on things of importance to you.
Some ways to create a simpler life involve utilizing technology, while others include eliminating or limiting its use. For example, Internet technology can be used in many ways to simplify your life, whereas television technology cannot. Through advertisements and program storylines, television can persuade you to do things that will complicate your life, so its use should be limited.
I find it interesting to think about all the pressure we put on ourselves to make enough money during our careers to retire and live simply. Why wait and waste all those years in between? A simple life is something that you can create right now!
