Small steps

Today, for lunch, I brought clam chowder that my lovely upstairs neighbor (and landlord) made and offered generously. It was delicious.

Today, after lunch, I thought about just shoving the dirty tupperware into my lunch bag and going back to my office to read. But instead, I made the deliberate choice to simplify my life by washing the tupperware now. Why is this more simple? Because it SAVES TIME LATER, and because, for goodness' sake, I HAVE THE TIME NOW. I have way less to do at lunchtime at work than I do at home in the evening.

There, one thing checked off the to-do list. See how easy living simply is?

This, by the way, is an example of one of my goals, which is "pick up things as you use them."
