Time is precious, and we can't rewind life, but we can choose how we spend that time every day and every moment. However, just because I want to play all day, doesn't mean I can. I cannot exercise in the living room if there is no floorspace, and I cannot use my computer if I have filled up the hard drive. So, as with most things in live, we have to prioritize. I find the best way to do this is to think of all the things you want to do and have first, and then list everything that must be done in order for you to do those things. I know that sounds backwards, but why waste time doing something that does not impact your life?
This does mean that you have to do regular maintenace work, though. Clearing the clutter from the floor becomes a daily chore, as well as doing the dishes, etc. No, they are not fun to do, but imagine how much easier it will be if you only take 30 minutes to clean a day rather than having to say no to doing fun things with your family on the weekend because you have to "clean house!"
I must admit, I am terrible about this! I often come home from work exhausted, tired, and want nothing more than to sit and relax. The problem is, I then wake up to an apartment that is cluttered and not optimum for having a happy morning, and it is tough to smile much when you've tripped over stuff all morning long! So here is to starting anew on maintenance cleaning! To more smiles and more time to enjoy LIFE!

Simply Living...the beginning
This blog is meant to be a hub of information on how to live more simply, or, as I like to say "simply live."
No one wants to spend hours and hours organizing, cooking, cleaning, etc, and miss out on LIFE. We want to be able to spend time with those we love, and do the things we love most. Unfortunately, in order to do so, we need to still get organized, cook meals, clean our homes, etc. Hopefully this blog will help me organize more of my ideas and thoughts on how to live a simpler life, but also give you hope that there can be a way to simply live and enjoy life!
So, welcome to the blog!
