A Simple Life

I would like to lead a simple life for the following reasons:

  1. A simple life is less stressful for me
  2. A simple life can help remove some of the distraction of everyday life so one can focus on the more important things.

What is a simple life?

A simple life allows one to not worry about the basic things that can consume our time and attention.  It involves reducing our impact on the resources around us, including:

  • land
  • energy
  • water
  • possessions
  • time

Time – Space – Energy – Mass – Existence

 

 

 

and also will reduce the time and attention needed to maintain the above items.
