Starting our business has very much highlighted to me my own need to keep life simple. I love the idea of simple living. Ok it's a little idealistic in my head; spending lots of time at home, growing our own food, lots of laughter and family time and baking yummy fresh bread :-) Much of the time we spend at home definitely does not look like this!
I spend far too much time multi-tasking...juggling the children with sorting out the home...organising our finances and any admin...working on orders. These are all things I enjoy and they keep my brain stimulated and well balanced, but I'm yet to find a way to keep things simple. I think it's just a case of effective time management and making some rules for myself but it's something I'm continuing to work on.
I very badly need to keep things simple because whilst I don't feel I have a hugely busy life, I do seem to have a big issue with not being present in many situations. By 'present' I mean aware and grounded and paying attention! For example, this week, so far (!), I have managed to wash my keys (yes, in the machine!), go out leaving the front door open, leave my Son's scooter in the middle of a field & leave my car door wide open for a couple of hours!
My mission this week is to Be. More. Mindful. Or perhaps *Just be* :-)
