Life tip #13: Simplify


I hope you had an amazing weekend! For a few days now I’ve been thinking that I should post less, but more. Meaning that I’d like to post fewer features and more worthy and meaningful posts (my two posts a day hasn’t become too much, but it has become all there really is and I’m paying more attention to “must have two posts up” compared to “must have great content up”). I love my shorter posts, too, and I’m not going to stop posting them, but I do think I’ll take a day here and there and post just one thing every now and then to make things easier for myself and for you, my readers. On my survey, many of you mentioned that you prefer just to have one post every single week day. My Earth Day post got me thinking that I need to simplify my own life even more so, especially when it comes to the internet. With this warm and sunny weather gracing its presence upon (many of) us, we should be spending as much time as possible in the fresh air. Here in Switzerland, my neighbors know the meaning of relaxing and enjoying life (at least their actions definitely reflect them doing so). So many villagers spent these past few days talking and enjoying their meals on their balconies, porches, and yards or taking walks and bike rides in the fields. Maybe the Swiss lifestyle is finally rubbing off on me. Hopefully, with this plan to simplify my life, I’ll have even more time to work on my book, life, and content for Four Leaf Clover! What do you think? Do you want me to stick to two posts per day? How do you simplify your life (especially when it comes to the internet)? I look forward to reading your thoughts! Have a happy Monday!

I hear you, Eva. I didn’t post last Thursday or Friday and was feeling slightly guilty, but I much rather have quality than quantity.

I’m all about quality posts. Sometimes I’ll post two a day if I think they’re related to each other (see my posts tomorrow), but I feel like one really awesome post a day definitely keeps everyone happy (including yourself) and lets us all get out there to enjoy the quiet moments of life.

I’m a one-post-per-weekday girl unless there’s something I just have to share… I do enjoy reading more from others but that partially depends on when I check my blogs… To be honest, I really should cut down… I spend much too much time on my laptop but cannot help myself. Temptation in the form of an Apple indeed!

they do live the easy life here, don’t they! i totally participated this weekend 🙂 I think one post a day is good…and you definitely should not be stressing yourself out about posting! i have let the guilt slide away because I realized there is no reason to be…no one really cares how often I post except for me, and if i take a few days off everyone who matters will still be there when i get back 🙂

i did just simplify my closet and jewelry collection this w/e…feels SO GOod!

Thank you so much for making me feel better about this decision!! I really do appreciate that you took the time to let me know how you feel about me simplifying here on FLC and just for reassuring me that I’ve got nothing to worry about!
