| | 5 Steps to a Simpler LifeWritten by Barbara Myers
You love your busy life and don't want to slow down. Make it easier by simplifying five basic aspects.1. Go through your clothing and keep ONLY what fits today. Coordinate your clothing so you can quickly get dressed in morning. Set up an organized laundry routine. Designate a bag for dry-clean-only clothes. 2. Organize your kitchen. Establish a system for planning meals and grocery shopping. Set up a system for your recipes. Keep a supply of frozen vegetables, meats and breads for quick meals. 3. De-clutter your home. Get rid of everything you don't use or love. Don't keep things for "someday." Give important items a designated place so you can find them when you need them.
