The CK Daily – Presidents, Allergies & Simplification
Happy Presidents’ Day! I’m not sure who celebrates this holiday aside from Mattress/Furniture stores, and maybe a few car lots, but if you do celebrate, let me know if you have any traditions you follow around this holiday!
I guess allergy season has arrived in Georgia… my entire family has had a runny noses and coughs, definitely not fun! Over the weekend we mostly did some Spring cleaning (at least an early start to the Spring cleaning), and I realized that I carry too much unnecessary stuff. I’m not a minimalist by any means, but when I was looking at things objectively I kept asking myself, “do I really need all this stuff?” in a number of categories. For example, do I really need 25 t-shirts? I probably maybe wear 2 t-shirts on any given weekend, so it didn’t make sense to me why I had so many (stuff just accumulates)… I decided to donate a bunch that I hadn’t worn in a while. After going through some of the clutter, we felt a lot better, my wife and I felt renewed, and we both thought it would be a good idea to go through our stuff every couple of months to see where we could declutter.
Speaking of clothing, during the week I wear the same CK Polo every workday (I have 7 of them) and I catch some grief every once and a while, but I do it not because I’m emulating some successful person or guru, but because I’m lazy. Yes, very lazy! I don’t like making a lot of decisions in the morning and picking out what to wear for my work at home day is one less decision I have to make. One less thing I have to think about that may occupy my brain.
I guess this weekend has taught me the importance of simplification. I think it’s good every once and while to review the stuff you collect and reduce things down to fundamentals, clear out the clutter, and removing any distractions. What are some things in your life that you can simplify? Also is it too early for Spring cleaning? I think I’m just ready for Spring!
Have a great Monday!
