I do see that, but i still feel it's not necessarily simplifying them.
Have more "family time" -since when is that simple?
Don't schedule back-to-back. great. simpler still, schedule nothing. One diary, that's a good tip -but is there anyone who doesn't do this? I guess there must be. Round here, if it's in the diary in my purse, it happens. If not, it doesn't.
Most of these are tips for a "better family life", rather than a simpler life. But there are a gazillion articles along those lines.... /cynic
