By JLNJ Staff | April 01, 2021 Do you ever get the feeling that there is just too much in your life? Whether it's too much clutter, too many commitments, too many complications or some combination of all of these things, you may have just taken a look around you and said, "enough”! Unfortunately, the very nature of a life that is a little too much also means that figuring out how to pare it all down can be a big challenge too. The key is to take it in little chunks. Identify Your Priorities This can turn into a whole side project on its own, but in the interest of your ultimate goal of simplifying, for now, try not to make this more complex than it already is. Choose a few items to prioritize as the point here is to drill down to your real values, not follow an arbitrary rule. Maybe you'll decide that what matters most to you is spending time with your kids and working with your local improv group, or maybe your top priorities are the weekly beach cleanup you do, staying on track with your career and saving for a house.
