Here are seven ways to simplify your summer.
#1 Eliminate just one of your commitments.
#2 Organize your desk. Be ruthless, the clutter will fragment your mind.
#3 Make a commitment to yourself not to be late for any more appointments. Being late stresses everyone. Just leave 10 minutes earlier.
#4 Avoid energy suckers. Some people just demand more time, energy and attention than other people. Avoid them as much as you can even if they're in your own family.
#5 Just slow down. Drive 55 mph, walk if you can, look around at the world (watch a sunset), call a friend, Chew your food (meals should last at least 20 minutes).
#6 Get a little more exercise, this is a major stress reducer.
#7 It's summer. Make your to-do list shorter and put some open unscheduled time in there. Use it for fun.
