7 Stupendous Ways to Simplify Your Life ...

One of the easiest ways to simplify your life is to adopt the “one in, one out” rule. This means that whenever you buy something new, you get rid of something you already have but don’t use. It might not seem like much, but it’s a great rule to practice if you frequently shop for new clothes, home décor, beauty products or accessories. All of those items add up quickly and can take up a lot of your precious space. Also, it might prevent you from making impulse purchases if you know you have to give something up!

Another way to simplify your life is to get rid of unused products in your makeup bag and vanity. Let’s say you bought some miracle acne potion or anti-aging serum that didn’t work out... feel free to toss it. There’s no point in letting it take up extra space and collect dust, right?! We might feel obligated to keep it since we spent good money on it but if it’s not something someone else can use and you don’t use it, get rid of it so you have more space for things you love!

Aside from our beauty product collection, I think we can agree that our closets also house items that we no longer wear or want! Depending on how often you buy clothes and shoes, make it a habit to clean out your closet to upcycle, donate or trade with others. It’s fine to keep a few things for special occasions or whatnot but it’s best to keep your closet clean so there is less clutter and confusion to deal with in the morning when you’re getting dressed.

I love curling up on the couch with some good magazines and a hot drink; it’s one of my absolute favorite things to do. But subscribing to a bunch of magazines can create a lot of clutter around the house! If you end up with tons of magazines each month only for them to pile up and create a mess, try reading the articles online or getting an online subscription on a digital reader.

There’ s nothing more frustrating than buying something you think you lost only to find it in some obscure place! Make a rule that you always put things back where you found it so you avoid driving yourself nuts looking for things or repurchasing items that you thought you lost. Keeping your home organized helps make life easier for you and saves you time!

Another way you can help yourself simplify your life is to make time to enjoy life’s simple pleasures. I know, work, school, family and your social life can keep you beyond busy but it’s important to still stop and enjoy the simple things! Give your special someone a hug, enjoy some time on a sunny afternoon or share a laugh with an old friend. There are so many things you can do alone or with a loved one that doesn’t require any money or an internet connection!

Limiting the number of commitments you have might be difficult in the beginning but it’ll really help you save you time and hassle in the long run. Practice saying no when you already have a full plate and delegate tasks to others when you can. Another reason to limit your commitments is if you’re overwhelmed with a full to-do list, you won’t do as good of a job as you normally would since you’re short on time and stressed.

There are so many more ways to simplify your life and this was just a small list of ways to do it! Simplifying your life not only helps you save your sanity but it also helps you keep a clutter-free living space and save time and money. Do you have any suggestions on ways to simplify your life?
