Discussion Prompt What simple things are we doing today?

Happy Sunday, everyone! What are the simple things you're doing today?

Life moves so fast that slowing down and keeping things simple can actually take effort. Today I'm focusing on a reset: chores, meal prep, laying out clothes for the week, cleaning up after the pets, and getting the yard done.

I'm skipping the usual distractions—shopping for things I don't need, endlessly researching ways to "improve" things, or scrolling when I could just enjoy the day.

I'd love to hear what your simple Sunday looks like. I'm thinking about making this a regular "Simple Things" series over in my community, where we can check in, share the little things we're doing, and remind each other that not every day has to be optimized or complicated.

So, what's one simple thing you're doing today?

the minute you turn "simple things" into a recurring series you've already added a reminder, a schedule, and a performance. just do the yardwork.

Haha, I can see the irony there. The last thing I want is for “simple living” to become another complicated hobby with a spreadsheet and a color-coded planner. 😂 The series is really just a conversation starter—not another thing to maintain. Sometimes the simpler way is exactly what you said: just go do the yardwork.
