The social, academic, and extracurricular pressure on so many of our kids today seems like it’s at an all-time high.

simpler and things you can do to improve your experience in a world that
won’t stop moving. These will include:

Streamlining household responsibilities
Simplifying daily routines for yourself and your family members
Taking advantage of all your employment benefits
Making the most of scarce resources, such as time and energy
Reducing stress through mindfulness and meditation
Creative “shirking,” or strategies for letting things go
