About

Even when life is going well, it’s full of so many obligations and chores and hassles – and so little time. So many things you have to do that it seems you’ll never get to the stuff you want to do. The more technology enables us to get done, the more we’re expected to get done. Most of us have less leisure time than our grandparents did. It’s ridiculous, but we can’t change the world.

The Revolution

In 2006, I decided I’d had enough. I went on a mission to:

• Save time spent on routine tasks. If you can shave 10 minutes out of your day every day, you’ve just saved yourself 2.5 days a year.
• Spend less without sacrificing lifestyle. Frugality isn’t about doing without – it’s about saving money in one area so you have more money in another area.
• Enjoy more peace of mind. Learning how to stay on top of difficult situations (and people) instead of letting them drag you down can save a lot of stress.
• Reuse instead of buying new. It’s not just ecological – cleverly reusing and repurposing what you already have saves you money and time spent shopping.
• Have more fun and time with loved ones. This one speaks for itself.

I’m always looking for ways to simplify life and make it more rewarding. My tips are all about helping you make smart choices that save time and money, tame your hectic life, and reclaim time for family, hobbies, creativity, spirituality or just relaxation. You’ll find suggestions for everything from simple, healthy, quick-fix meals to lease negotiating tips and suggestions on composting if you live in an apartment.
