Why Honesty is the Best Policy for Simplicity
sometimes, it’s the 2 and 3 letter words that can be the toughest. when the answer is yes, say “yes.” when the answer is no, say “no.” be dependable. follow through on your commitments. and don’t commit to anything that you don’t intend to complete.
Another thoughtful post. Honesty does take effort but I’ve always thought that it has to better to be open, truthful with the people are you.
Update:
Results: Woke regularly until 5:15 when the radio went on (6music). Snoozed which is a first and then dozed until 5:30, more dozing and then quite happily got up at 5:38.
Conclusion: It’s doable but will of course depend on getting to bed at a reasonable (read 10:45 at the latest) hour.

An experiment
Now, I was thinking earlier that I always get up at the same time regardless of the time I go to sleep. I always aim to get about 7 hours (ish) sleep. Going to bed at 11 (ish) and getting up at no later then 6:10. So I'm going to try to go to bed now and then get up slightly earlier…
Aim: to see if I will get up at the lastest possible time I can.
Equipment: My bed, an alarm clock
Prediction: No way. Getting up at 5:20 just isn't going to happen. It's practically night time.
Method:
- Go to bed now-ish.
- Set alarm for 5:20.
- Try to get up before 6.

There was talk over the weekend.
the unmistakeable freedom of contentment
not only does contentment provide the opportunity for minimalism, it also reduces your stress level, improves your outlook, relaxes your body, and makes your life enjoyable. there is an unmistakable freedom that follows contentment: a freedom to be who you are, enjoy who you are, and live the life you were destined to live.
Funny, I was meaning to write something today about something that happened last week and this post popped up.
I’d had a not-so-great day and I decided that to make myself feel better that I would do something for someone else (related to number in the linked list – help others). I stopped and spent a little time doing that. I did the things I had been meaning to do for a little while.
Sometimes easy to forget the little things we can do for others and how those simple acts can make them and yourself feel.
Email posting
There is a reason why it’s not a simple thing to post to this blog by email through Wordpress’ settings.
In any case, setting up a Posterous account – add your Wordpress account to autopost and then send an email to Posterous who will post automatically to your blog.
Easy. Peasy. Took 5 minutes, if that, to set up.
