Blinded By The White
An attempt to simplifyby j. brotherlove
Tell the truth… is all this white blinding you? I’m feeling overwhelmed by stuff in all areas of my life, lately. Are all of these things really necessary? Mired in minutiae and the walls are closing in. Either I need less things or more space. Time to simplify.
i don’t know who came up with those 6 rules but they need a beat down.
“Work where you live, or live where you work.”
a person better be happy just to have a job nowadays.
“Be in bed by 9 p.m. one night a week.”
is she gonna come wash my dishes to make it happen?
“Live on half of what you earn, and save the other half.”
how much she think i make? does she mean half of what’s left over after paying bills? cause half of nothing is exactly what i can save.
“Keep asking, ‘Is this going to simplify my life?’”
is ignoring this article gonna simplify my life? yep.
ROTMFLMBAO! Okay, you’re killing me! I found those suggestions to be a bit idealistic, myself. What would be your 6 rules, hmmm?
Those “suggestions” came from the book “Simplify Your Life”, and you’re right, they are laughable for some of us. The book was published in 1994, and, of course, Oprah loved it! Rich folks can simplify all they want, huh?
