72 Tips for Simple Living

**AmyBoz** · 06-28-2009, 10:33 AM

In my quest for simplicity, I've been doing a lot of web surfing, gleaning ideas from a variety of sites. The village is always my main source of information and inspiration, however, I found this great list online and thought I'd share the link with you.

Some are common sense, but often, we need a reminder of how to get back to basics, no matter how common sense the ideas.

This is one of my favorite blogs to read. This is a great article, too! Thanks for posting it! My life has become complicated this year and I've been feeling the pressure lately. It's great to see reminders of why I pared down a few years ago...and why I need to get back to that place!

Thank You! I love this link. It really puts things into perspective. I think that simplicity comes when you let go of clutter. Liked the part about smaller housing. Some like to downsize to smaller houses. Can't imagine that our racher is less than 750 square feet of living space and we have 4 people, 1 medium size dog and 2 cats living here. I think the decluttering and just letting go of the things that are not necessary is where our family needs to be.

Again, Thanks for this link, awesome read.

I only got to read part of it, but bookmarked it so I can really dive in later. I'm already liking what I'm seeing though, and might just print it out. Some of these things work best for me when I can ponder over them.

Thanks for linking!

Thank you for the great information. Sometimes I get caught up in the everyday hussle / bussle of life. It seems to me that there is not enough time in the day for everything.
