Why does life have to be so complicated?The answer may be too complicated to address in this short article, but here are some simple steps which may help make life a little easier for you - both at work and at home.Establish a set of guiding values and priorities. Relying on them for direction will make decision-making easier and cut down on unnecessary mental gymnastics. This is so very important and without them you really end up wasting more time and get yourself into situations that aren't really comfortable for you. Once you have you value, priorities and boudries, life becomes much easier to deal with simply because you know immediately what you're willing to do and what you're willing not to do.Use a personal planner, either computerised or manual. At first it may seem awkward and cumbersome, but ultimately will help rid your mind of those "things I have to remember". It's probably best to use one single planner to keep track of all areas of your life. Before you go to bed, take 15 minutes and plan out your day, list your 6 priorities that must be done for the day, and remember to check them off after you complete them. I cover some more great tips inTime Managemnet for Life, that will help you get the most from your day.Make honesty your policy. "Oh what a tangled web we weave…." Telling the truth is a basic but powerful way to keep your life more simple. Like I've heard it said before: If you always tell the truth, you never have to remember what you said.Just do it. Not only when buying a certain type of sports equipment. The loose ends of unfinished business can often tie us up in knots. Acting immediately, when possible, clears these nagging issues from our consciousness. I continually use this phrase when I'm either bogged down with a boat load of work or I have to do something I'm not motivate to do.Just say no. On the other hand, not everything is worth doing. Just as pruning a tree releases energy for more dramatic growth, ridding yourself of extraneous activity can result in quantum leaps in you overall effectiveness. Consider letting go of the trivial and latching on to the more important opportunities.
Dale Carnegie covers a great deal about just saying no, he is a master in people skills and worth checking out. Too many people are yes people and the result is: they either don't put in a 100% effort or they complain about having to do what they promised, either way no one wins. Learn to say no.Delegate. Share responsibilities with your co-workers, family and friends. When you're especially bogged down, look at ways to "out source" - consider hiring someone to handle your taxes, clean the house etc … Don't be afraid to ask friends for help when you're feeling overwhelmed. Look at it this way, if you don't ask friends and family for some help once in a while, what seperates family and friends from total strangers?David Wrobel is the author of Life Balloon, "45 Little Known Marketing Strategies That Will Have Your Business Leap Frogging Over the Competition" and countless eBooks."
