How To Reduce Stress

  1.  Identify what is important to you
  2. Eliminate the rest

Simplification isn’t just about your schedule or your thoughts. We can simplify many areas of our lives as we consider how to reduce stress & accelerate progress towards our goals.

It’s easier to keep up than it is to catch up – stay on top of recurring tasks if you can’t eliminate or outsource them

Understand & respect Parkinson’s Law – tasks will expand to fill up the time you allot to them. This is where they phrase “If you wait until the last minute it only takes a minute” comes from. Assign a fixed amount of time to complete a task and then focus exclusively on that task for the pre-determined interval

The simplification guide will help you simplify each of the following categories with dozens of suggestions for how to reduce stress by making changes in each of these areas

  • Environment & Space
  • Time
  • Mind
