Not only is it practical, it's absolutely essential. And in one respect it's easier now than it was a few years ago because everyone is much more aware of how complicated life can be today. Many technologies can simplify our lives tremendously, but we have to learn to use them effectively. With a cell phone, for example, you can easily let a client know you'll be delayed -- but if you constantly feel you have to respond to a ringing phone, it can draw you off center.
It's much easier to simplify when you know what your priorities are. You have to recognize that you can't do it all. Rather than trying to do it all or know it all, you can focus your attention on the things that support those priorities and let the rest go. This can be challenging in the information age, but if you're committed to your priorities, it's doable.
E-mail, too, can greatly simplify your life as long as you use it in a way that actually helps you. I use E-mail to connect with my friends and I check it after work or when I don't feel tired , setting aside the time to respond to them. So I've made it work for me.
Simplifying your business is also a matter of knowing your priorities. When you're clear about your goals and what products you want to bring to your clients, you can focus on those rather than be distracted by what everyone else is doing. It helps to be doing something you love, something you feel will be of benefit to your customers. If you stay focused on that, it's easier to make the important business decisions you need to make.
The crisis of this economy is making us to work hard. The challenge comes when you get distracted by the unlimited number of options that can offer. Money can expand opportunities to make life simpler and more enjoyable. If you know what is really important to you, you can expand your work with money do and you can simply anytime you choose.
