Last week I told you my New Year's Resolution -- to Simplify My Life. Well, one of those ways is to free up my time. When I free up my time, I will be able to go out and Enjoy My Jeep with My Family. I am making the choice to slow - down - the - pace.
With the advancement of technology, we are used to getting things quicker and faster right at our fingertips. But the irony of modern technology saving us time, is we are actually losing time. We fill up that saved time with more projects and activities. We have to have it all, and do it all. Time is passing us by too quickly. Are we really enjoying life -- Or are we in this never-ending loop of hectic activities?
Here are some tips to get out of that fast-paced, frenzied fever we call life. I have scoured the internet to find what others are doing to slow -- down -- the -- pace. I have compacted the ideas into short simple phrases to allow you more time to Enjoy Your Life.
