Make life less chaotic and easier through the choices you make. Finally, a book that spells out how to achieve what you have been seeking for years — happy, stress-free, simple living. Prepare to UNLEASH THE POWER OF SIMPLICITY and live your life on purpose!
PITTSBURGH, PA (PRWEB) August 11, 2004 -- Most Americans are stressing out, and with good reason:
• Technology -- things such as high-speed Internet and instant messaging – are supposed to make life easier, but many find this technology actually runs their lives.
• The ‘instant-tizing of America, from ATMs to 5 minute loan approvals, is ‘super-sizing consumer debt.
• Cell phones have morphed from a convenience into intrusions on daily life.
• Excessive activities for children turn parents into 24/7 chauffeurs
• TV soaks up so much of our time, watching it actually takes up 9 years of an average persons life.
But nationally-renown professional organizer Patty Kreamer says it doesnt have to be this way. Expanding the clutter-busting principles laid out in her popular book But I Might Need it Someday!, Kreamers new book The Power of Simplicity: Choosing to Live Your Life on Purpose is a virtual roadmap for those in search of a more relaxed, productive and enjoyable life.
Kreamer probes the foundations of life stress and explores simplicity as a lifestyle, tackling the all-important issues of emotion and choice which drive so much of the habits which lead to confusing, out-of-control lives. Through examples and anecdotes, she explains why our lives are often so frenetic, and why so many of us feel the more we do, the less we really get done.
In our society, where so much is happening so fast, many people simply roll with ‘what is, and get caught up in a kind of automatic cycle in which life happens to them, rather than choosing the life they really want," says Kreamer. Weve forgotten, in large part, the power of personal choice and the result is a scrambled, endless cycle of impulsive living and catching up and finding time."
Kreamers principles for simplifying and improving your life include things such as:
• The ‘stop and pause technique to avoid impulsive buying and rash decision making.
• The ‘one out – one in rule to keep homes neat and organized, so you never have to fear unexpected company again.
• Examine and prioritize – Ways to reduce family stress by cutting back on extra-curricular activities for kids and creating true ‘family time.
• Visualization and goal setting – The deceptively simple principle of envisioning the life you would like to have, and making it happen.
• The ‘need vs. want filter – Keeping emotion out of financial choices as a way to avoid frivolous spending and reduce debt-stress.
The beauty of simplifying your life to make it more enjoyable and productive is that the process is itself essentially simple," adds Kreamer. The same organizational principles I apply as a Professional Organizer also apply to life itself – choosing what is most important to you and taking affirmative steps in that direction. Just as a sloppy office desk leads to inefficiency and stress, an overloaded, unorganized or overwhelmed personal life makes life much more complicated than it has to be."
