A simple life means leaving out many of the things you do so that you can spend more time with people you love and do the things you love. However, getting to simplicity isn't always simple. It's often a journey of two steps forward and one backward.

Evaluate(评估）your time. 【1】 What things do you do from the time you wake up to the time you go to sleep? Make a list, and evaluate whether they're necessary. If not, leave them out and focus on what's important.

Limit(限制）your communications. Our lives these days are filled with communications: email, cell phones, paper mail and more. 【2】 Instead, set a limit on your communications: only deal with emails at certain times of the day. Limit phone calls to certain times too. It is the same with other communications. Set a timetable and stick to it.

Try living without a car. OK, this isn't something I've done, but many others have. 【3】Walk, bike, or take public transportation. It reduces costs and gives you time to think. A car is also very complicated, needing not only car payments, but insurance, repairs, gas and more.

【4】 If you rid(去除）your home of useless things, you might find you don't need so much space. I'm not saying you should live on a boat, but if you can be comfortable in a smaller home, it will not only be less expensive, but easier to maintain(维护),and greatly simplify your life.
