Your belongings
I said “objects”, not “possessions “, items that clutter up your life. This can be shoes, small ornaments from the boutique in town, or extra appliances you should get rid of but never have. What’s hogging your house and isn’t a shame if you throw it away? Set aside a Sunday afternoon to get rid of these items. If it’s a shame to throw them away, then kindly donate them.
The people you know
How many people do you come in contact with each week that bring you negative emotions? Think about who can give you encouragement again? Please spend more time with such people. We often leave people who don’t quite get along too long. The more old acquaintances you have, the more burdened your life becomes. If it’s not a win-win relationship for both parties, take a step back and focus on the people who can bring it to life.
Your goals
You’re combative and want to make a list of goals for the next month or even the next 3 months? That’s really great, but a few words of caution. Don’t list too many goals. People usually set more than 10 goals. The brain can only remember so many goals, but the reality is that you can’t achieve them all. It is advisable to keep your goals in single digits, no more than 10 and preferably less than 5. Keep your goals focused and easy to achieve.
Your Commitment
A popular phrase in self-help these days is “denial is another form of affirmation”. Think about this phrase for a moment. What would life be like if you were to say no most of the time? Wouldn’t you have more time to work on important goals or spend time with important people? Try saying no when it comes to requests you don’t want to make. If it’s too hard to ask, say “I’ll wait until I can answer” and then come back and say no when you’ve made up your mind.
Multitasking
I give you permission to stop multitasking. It used to be said that multitasking was a good habit. We look busy, but do we get all the tasks done? Actually, that’s not true. Multitasking simply doesn’t work when the brain is confused and disorganized. We need to focus on one important task and be single-minded until it is completed.
Your information sources
I classify all the information sent to our phones, laptops and brains on the Internet as “information sources. Feeds don’t increase our knowledge, they just overload us with information. If you can get offline completely, you will have more time in your day or week. I suggest that you disconnect from the wireless network or put your phone into airplane mode.
Your loyalty card
Open your wallet and see what’s inside. Many people have more than one store loyalty card in their wallet. Too many loyalty cards can spur additional spending, create more bills, and leave us confused about where our money is going. Find the cards you really need to use and get rid of the rest (scissors can come in handy!) .
Your mail
Whether it’s a traditional mailbox or a popular email address, it needs to be streamlined. Find a way to opt out of the roster or reduce your magazine subscriptions, which you hardly ever read anyway. Look at which mail, such as bank statements, can be received only via e-mail. Inboxes are organized in a similar way. Sites like unroll.me can find out exactly how many email subscriptions you have so you can opt out of subscriptions you no longer need.
Your sedentary time
Sitting in front of a computer screen for long periods of time is both bad for your sitting and bad for your health. Try setting a timer and standing up every 50 minutes to stretch your arms or walk for 5 minutes. When sitting for long periods of time, it is hard to notice how badly we are sitting. Research on sedentary diseases has also spawned the invention of standing or movable desks. If your office is not yet equipped with such a table, then please develop the habit of standing and moving around more often. Always alone will make the brain rambling, and rambling is often a negative idea. But a walk alone or occasionally completely empty rest will help rejuvenate. Pay attention to whether you feel unmotivated or depressed, and then make sure you don’t spend too much time alone. For those who work from home, this is especially important. Be sure to have daily contact with people.
The belief you lack
If you want to make a change or achieve a goal in your life, then you have to believe 100% that you can do it. If you don’t even believe in yourself, then why should anyone else believe in you? The difference between successful people and losers may lie in a different mindset: successful people believe they will succeed. What are the areas you can streamline to create a happier, more focused and productive life? By implementing some of the areas listed above, you will find that a “less is more” mindset can lead you to a better life!
