How To Reduce Stress
- Identify what is important to you
- 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

| 0:57.8 | we're overwhelmed, we're stressed, we're doing a lot and many of us feel like it's too |
| 1:04.9 | much, especially when we're trying to do something like lose weight that quite frankly requires |
| 1:11.7 | a fair amount of energy and attention and effort at first. |
| 1:16.4 | And we have other things going on in our lives. |
| 1:19.8 | Work, family, friends, bills, running a household, and many, many people feel like they just |
| 1:26.0 | don't have the bandwidth to create the life they want because they're so busy dealing |
| 1:32.2 | with and coping with the life that they've allowed to sort of evolve around them. |
| 1:39.7 | It's not how they want things to be, but they don't know how to real things in and simplify |
| 1:44.6 | so that they do have the bandwidth to make the changes they want for themselves, for |
