Hi Friends,

I've spent much of the summer doing adventures with my grandson before he goes to school in the fall. Air Zoo, swimming lessons, walks, the beach, live music, or local town events. Interspersed with an uptick in migraines and work. 

August Declutter Calendar: 
https://www.mysimplerlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Aug-2025-Declutter-Calendar.pdf

(Be playful with it. Don't think in terms of 100% complete. Maybe 80% or 50% or whatever you think you can do at this stage of life.)

1. Do your back to school planning.
2. Create a limit on phone/tablet time for the month of August.
3. Delete unwanted pictures off of your phone.
4. Use the 1-minute rule: If a task takes less than a minute—like hanging up a coat, replying to a quick email, or putting a dish in the dishwasher—do it immediately.
5. Create a simplicity anchor ritual. What is one daily habit you can do that will remind you of your goal of simplicity? ie 5 min decluttering, making your bed, laying out your clothes the day before, saying no to one thing, deleting 10 emails.
6. When you decide on something, don't second guess yourself. Tell yourself it was a good decision and make it the best decision possible by your subsequent actions and mindset.
7. Find one horizontal space that you will keep clear - dining room table, kitchen table, piano bench, shelf so you always have a clutter-free spot.
