time thumb Forget the Little Stuff Every now and then, you may need a reminder. The little things that piss you off just don’t matter. The rude post office clerk isn’t worth fretting about. The guy who crosses in front of you as you start to walk across the street isn’t worth the bother. Welcome to Simplify Your Life Week!

Part of the process of simplifying is hanging on to what matters. The other stuff really doesn’t matter. You have your focus. Concentrate on that. The extraneous things are just that—extraneous. Let’s face it; one of the most important qualities of a writer is the ability to focus her energy on the task at hand. One way to do this is by simplifying your life.

When you divest yourself of the trivialities of your life, you free up a lot of wasted energy. Use it. Use it to brainstorm your next book idea. Use it to work through a difficult passage in your current work. Simply, use it.

This week, I challenge you to find ways to simplify your life. It’s addicting. Once you get that taste of freedom, you will have a better perspective about the waste in your life.
