Ideally, the structure of your daily life should be a reflection of your
priorities. If you say that family is your priority, then make a
commitment to spend a designated time with your spouse and kids.
If you say health is a priority, then you should be doing everything
you can for a healthier you. Are you truly staying away from
bad/tempting foods and getting your daily dose of exercise? Or are
your other commitments getting in the way?
When you prioritize, you need to be honest with yourself. What do
you truly desire and what is standing your way? If you can honestly
answer these two questions, you can start simplifying your life
fairly easily.
As you prioritize, you’ll also be filtering out a lot of excess baggage.
In other words, you’ll be simplifying your life.
It can become a process where you rearrange so your life so that it
closely reflects your priorities. If you long to spend more quality
time with your kids and other significant half, then streamline your
emails, put away your phone or even cut back on your work hours.
If you really want to paint, then clear out your room and make a
studio space for yourself.
