Quote of the Week

“Letting go of items or memories connected to bad emotions can make you more lighthearted and make you feel better.” -- Genevieve Parker Hill

5 Tips to Simplify Your Life, via Genevieve Parker Hill

Declutter your stuff

Are you a purger or a collector? Identify your own attitude toward stuff.

Blaze and gaze strategy: Blaze -- Imagine a fire engulfs part of your home. Keep

only what you would want to keep from a fire. Gaze - Important paperwork or

sentimental items; Items worth holding onto and look at individually.

Focus on your one thing and own the opportunity cost. When you focus on your one thing, you say no to many other things.

Apply the Pareto principle or the 80/20 rule.

80% of your results come from 20% of your activities

Let go of emotional baggage and increase lightheartedness. Digitize and minimize sentimental items.

Let minimalism give you permission to pursue what you truly want wholeheartedly.

Kelly and Maria’s Takeaways

Kelly: Own the opportunity cost of making the podcast grow, even though it takes time and money. Ask myself what 20% of work this past year produced 80% of my results?

Maria: It’s painful to let things go, like commitments, but it’s important to let things go to welcome the things I really want to do. I’m going to be open to change.
