This is a question I hear all the time, and appropriate too as "Simple Living" is one of the top ten trends of the decade.

But what exactly is it? Do I have to move to the mountains, heat with a wood stove and grow my own vegetables?

I'm happy to tell you that Simple Living is not one thing or one path. It is not the same for you as it is for me. It is instead personalized for each individual based on what they want out of life. Simple Living is not following the status quo. It is not doing things because that's what your friends or neighbors are doing or telling you that you should.

Rather, it's living the way you want to live and guarding your limited resources such as time and money. It is also eliminating the clutter from your life and stripping away what is not important to you.

Simple living is a choice. You choose your existence rather than allowing others and your circumstances to choose your life for you.

In this article, let's look at one point of how Simple Living relates to our "time". That point is: "Do One Thing At A Time".

Instead of trying to multi-task all day long like making dinner while talking on the phone or cleaning house while doing laundry, try doing one thing at a time and enjoy the experience. Think about it while you do it. Try to enjoy whatever it is you are doing at the moment. Don't think ahead what else needs to be done and don't think back about something you've already done.

We will never get "everything" done in life that we want to get done. Therefore, why not slow down and enjoy the moment, whatever it is.

If you truly want to live a simpler life, this is a great place to start!
