This is the question I am asking myself today.

I don’t know about you but for the last few years I’ve identified a theme meandering its way through both my life and business.

‘Getting comfortable with being uncomfortable’ is just one that I recall from recent years and for 2012 I’ll be focusing on the theme of simplicity.

The holiday period has provided me with a super opportunity to get out of autopilot and become really clear on what simplicity means to me – it could well signify something quite different for you, but for me, this means finding a more effective way of doing things, a better way or an easier way where I can eliminate all but the essentials and spend more time doing what’s vitally important to me, my family and my business. It means living in alignment with my values – ( side note – do you know I didn’t even have ‘fun’ as one of my top 5 values until a couple of years ago!).

It’s not as easy as it seems though. It often feels like there is too much going on – believe me there is never a dull moment when you have four children, I can tell you and that’s just in my personal life!  On the other hand, life is short and there is so much I want to do and experience and it all takes up our most precious commodity, time.

So I’ve decided that instead of wanting more I first need to ask is there a better or easier way to do what I’m already doing.

Imagine if you were to ask yourself that question prior to each action you take. I wonder how much more free time you could create for yourself if you were to simplify your life and business?
