I love simplifying my life.
我喜歡簡化自己的生活。
It makes me more effective and life less stressful. It makes me calmer, more energetic and happier.
簡約的生活能給我減壓，讓我更適于工作。我會因此變得更冷靜，更有活力，更快樂。
So today I'd like to share 42 ways to make your life simpler. I hope you'll find something inspiring and helpful among these tips.
因此，今天我要分享簡化生活的42個辦法。希望大家能在這些辦法中找到一些能激發你的有用建議。
1. Mix things up. Try the opposite. Have the vegetarian dish if you always go for the meat. Walk away from a stupid conflict instead of making it worse. Let one thing go if you often cling to things. Make a habit of mixing things up to grow your life in small or bigger ways. And to make it easier and simpler to step out of your comfort zone in general when you really need to.
1.換個套路試試。去嘗試下與你習慣相反的事物，如果你老是吃肉那就試試素食；不要持續無謂的沖突，趁事情變得更壞之前立即停止；如果經常抓著事情不放那就讓它過去吧。在成長的過程中要養成這種習慣，能用各種不同方法去解決問題。同時要不斷簡化解決辦法，提醒自己要步出習慣舒適區。
2. Get up 20 minutes earlier. This will help you to reduce stress in the morning and during the rest of the day.
2.提前20分鐘起床。這將有助你在整個清晨和白天都減少壓力。
3. Be 10 minutes early for meetings and appointments. This will help you to make your time of travel a time of rest and relaxation instead of stressful. And you will not be late.
3.提前10分鐘到場參加會議或赴約。這會使你的行程有一段休息放松時間，否則你可能會感覺緊張。而且你也不會遲到。
4. Single-task. You be more focused, less stressed and get to done more quickly. So do one thing at a time and do it with your full attention.
4.一次只做一件事。這樣你會集中精力去完成，而且不會背負壓力，完成速度更快。因此一次只做一件工作，并且要全力以赴。
5. Ask yourself: am I keeping things extremely simple? If not, figure out how you can do that in the situation you are in.
5.問問自己：我是在簡化這個問題嗎？如果不是，找出在這種情況下你怎樣才能簡化問題。
6. Ask yourself: will this matter 5 years from now? Or even 5 weeks from now? Do this to avoid making mountains out of molehills.
6.問問自己：這件事真的有那么嚴重嗎？或者根本沒你想的那么可怕。這樣做可以避免小題大做。
7. Buy things with the money you have earned and saved. Avoid getting into debt.
7.用你的存款或薪水去購物。這樣不會負債。
8. Learn a few recipes and cook. You'll save money and probably eat healthier.
8.學樣新的食譜。這會給你省錢而且讓你吃的更健康。
9. When you cook, cook more than you'll eat. This will help you to spend less time on cooking and washing dishes. And you'll have an extra dinner or two to just reheat when you don't have time or energy to cook.
9.如果做飯的話，那就多做一點。這將有助于你不必花那么多時間做飯和洗碗。當你沒時間或者沒精力做飯的時候，熱熱飯菜來頓加餐就行了。
10. Write things down. Pretty much everyone's memory is leaky. So help yourself. Write down what you need to do or shop for today. Write down what your top 4 priorities in life are and post that note where you can see it every day.
10.把事情記下來。幾乎每個人都有忘事的時候，那么幫幫你自己，當你今天需要購物或者做什么事的時候記下來寫在本子上。把你生活中最先要做的4件事寫在便利貼上，貼在你每天都容易看到的地方。
11. Remember that life is larger than you may think it is. You do not know everything and you are not always right. Remembering this makes it easier for me to learn things, to accept other viewpoints, to create changes and to stay more open.
11.謹記生活比你想象的廣闊。你不一定懂所有的事情，你也不會總是對的。謹記這個，可以讓我愿意去學一些新的東西，接受別人的觀點，做出改變，保持坦率。
12. Risk making mistakes. Learn from them. Then do again with that helpful new experience and knowledge in mind.
12.敢于冒出錯的風險，然后從中吸取教訓。當你有了有用的經驗和知識以后，就可以重復這項工作了。
13. Do what YOU really, really, really want to do. Do not get stuck in trying to live someone else's dream.
13.做你真正，真正，真正想做的事情。不要為了實現別人的夢而痛苦的活著。
14. Go grocery shopping once a week. You'll save money and time if you make the effort to plan for a week and to shop for it all at once.
14.一周去一次雜貨店。在去購物前如果你能列出計劃，在購物時一次買清將為你節省時間和錢。
15. Go grocery shopping when you not hungry. You'll buy more healthy food instead of impulse buying yourself through the store.
15.趁還不餓的時候去雜貨店。這時候你會買更健康的食物而不是沖動性購買。
16. Enjoy the simple pleasures. An apple, the latest episode of your favorite show, fresh and clean bed sheets, a hug and kiss, holding hands, the sun and blossoming nature after a long and cold winter.
16.享受簡單的樂趣。一個蘋果，你心愛的電視劇集更新，剛換的干凈床單，一個擁抱一個吻，牽手，漫長的嚴冬過后溫暖的陽光和充滿生機的大自然。
17. Have a glass of water. Instead of eating when you are bored or when are having a craving have 1-2 glasses of water. This will help you to keep to those cravings away until the next meal and to maintain your health and weight.
17.喝一杯水。當你煩悶或者想吃東西的時候不要立刻吃東西，試著喝一兩杯水。這將幫助你趕走食欲，直到正餐時間。這樣有利于你保持苗條和健康。
18. Eat slower. Make your lunch time a time of relaxation rather than a time to just add to the stress of your morning. Try putting down the fork between bites to slow down the eating.
18.慢食。把你的午飯時間變成一種放松和享受，而不是整個忙碌早晨的延續。試著在夾菜和咀嚼的過程中放下叉子，這能讓你減少吃飯速度。
19. Be kind. Be kind to other people and especially to yourself.
19.善意待人。善意對待別人，特別是自己。
