I loved this post 🙌🏻 it never gets old to me to hear about other people’s daily routines - thanks for taking the time to share this with us.

Two questions for you:

1) What are all the things you say “no” to to maintain simplicity and reduce mental fatigue in the personal side of your daily life? There’s so much content, entertainment, shopping, hobbies, text messages, emails, etc. coming at us from every direction that I often don’t know where to begin to say “these things are ‘in’ and everything else is ‘out’”. It often seems like you’ve created a really healthy, focused scope for your daily life, which rewards you with a sense of calm and simplicity.

2) When do you sort through personal emails, take care of the ongoing life admin stuff, and read digital content, newsletters, blogs, etc.? I love the no screens after 7pm idea, but don’t know how to implement it when I often leave these tasks to the evening hours (like reading and commenting on this post right now 🙃)

I also get the “not everyone has the same 24 hours”. I am also very privileged. I am single, no kids and have a dog who is very low maintenance. I work mostly from home. I have my own gym in my garage. I can workout later in the mornings, schedule appointments during the day and have full control over my calendar (except for 2 meetings each week that are at the same time).
