根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
A simple life means getting rid of many of the things you do so that you can spend more time with people you love and do the things you love. 1. It’s often a journey of two steps forward and one backward.
Evaluate your time. 2. What things do you do from the time you wake up to the time you go to sleep? Make a list, and evaluate whether they’re in line with your priorities. If not, remove them and focus on what’s important. Redesign your day.
Limit your communications. Our lives these days are filled with a vast flow of communications: email, cell phones, paper mail, Twitter, forums, and more. 3. Instead, set a limit on your communications: only deal with emails at certain times of the day. Limit phone calls to certain times too. It is the same with other communications. Set a schedule and stick to it.
Try living without a car. OK, this isn’t something I’ve done, but many others have. 4. Walk, bike, or take public transportation. It reduces expenses and gives you time to think. A car is also very complicated, needing not only car payments, but insurance, maintenance, repairs, gas and more.
5. If you rid your home of stuff, you might find you don’t need so much space. I’m not saying you should live on a boat (although I know some people who happily do so), but if you can be comfortable in a smaller home, it will not only be less expensive, but easier to maintain, and greatly simplify your life.
A. Consider a smaller home.
B. Have a place for everything.
C. How do you spend your day?
D. It’s something I would do if I didn’t have kids.
E. They can take up your whole day if you let them be.
F. However, getting to simplicity isn’t always a simple process.
G. Most people don’t know what “enough” is, and thus they keep buying more.
