"I loved her tip to take junk mail that you receive & put it all back in their prepaid envelope & mail it back to them with "remove from mailing list" printed on it ... then you don't even have to worry with recycling it yourself. This book was full of gems I'd never even thought of in terms of simplifying (although it is dated) and I enjoyed reviewing how far I've come as well!"
"She has 100 practical suggestions to simplify your hectic lifestyle. Her thinking clarifies my thinking on why some people are sooo busy! Because they make their lives busy. I've seen people who make their lives more complicated, dramatic, going from one crises to the next. It makes me wonder if some people actually enjoy running around like a headless chicken!
She explores each aspect of our lives and makes suggestions on how to get rid of the fluff, to give you more time to do the things you really want to do.
Many of the ideas are things I am already doing, and maybe that's why I don't feel like I have a hectic life. I really liked her ideas on simplifying your household and lifestyle. Like, reduce the clutter in your house, move to a smaller house, buy in bulk, run all your errands in one place, leave your shoes on the front door, get speckled carpet, turn off the TV, don't answer the phone just because it's ringing, and that goes for the doorbell too, if you don't like the holidays, bow out, get out of debt, drive a simple car, reduce your needs for goods and services, make water your drink of choice, pack your own lunch, be in bed by nine once a week, beware exercise equipment and take a walk. It makes me feel good that I have learned on my own how to keep life simple."
"Very basic suggestions on how to simplifying your life (get a smaller house, drive a smaller car, get rid of your clutter) and some very antisocial ones (don't answer the phone, don't answer the door, say no to parties). Witn no kids and no friends I guess your life will be simpler but that is not really the kind of life that I want."
"St. James has lots of good suggestions, but some I thought were over the top. Like replacing your entire yard with ivy or another ground cover so you won't have to mow. My first thought: where would the kids play? Second thought: my neighbors would kill me!"
