RStheGr8: Simplifying the complication

Over the past couple months, I let many things get too complex and difficult.

Exercise
Friendships
Traveling
Shopping
Spending
Saving
Cleaning
Surfing
Eating
Cooking

I've had plenty of time to reflect and I've come up with the beginnings of a comprehensive plan to simplify my life. I will worry less and rely on services that were created to help.

Daily surfing habits: Become more efficient by structuring surfing time using sites like Google Reader and delicious.

Daily spending & saving habits: Rely on online personal finance sites like Mint, Rudder and Wesabe. Also, dedicate more time to reading my Money magazines, reading personal finance books and watching personal finance shows as well as keeping up with personal finance blogs.

Daily cleaning habits: Clean up as I go along versus waiting till the weekend or when it's unbearable. If necessary, create a list of to-dos and get it done.

There are a bunch more ways that I can think of to simplify my life. Now that I've got my plan in place, please stay tuned for more great things in this space.
