 Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious and adding the meaningful ~John Maeda

Year Of Focus: Week 47

Word Of The Week: Simplicity

freedom from complexity, intricacy, or division into parts:

an organism of great simplicity

They say, everything in moderation, since too much of anything is not good. When our life is cluttered, so is our mind. Every commitment requires time and energy and when we make plans, we must keep in mind what other responsibilities may creep up, defining what we need and what we want.

When I decide to simplify my life, I need the discipline and space to decide with intention how I will use my free time. By decluttering my surroundings, I help create that space. Clearing my thoughts unburdens the future allowing me to see clearly while producing a peaceful environment.

The use of our time is another way to simplify our life. Over commitment can take the energy we need to simplify in other areas. Instead of FOMO, (the fear of missing out), we need the joy of staying in which provides the opportunity to look within for where we need change.

As we approach a new year, we initiate new rituals that can help us simplify. An opportunity to be intentional with your time and schedule, by looking for the ways you can transform your home and life with less. Small steps to clear the clutter in our hearts, minds, and homes can lead us to a life of simplicity.
