This is the time of year when I look to simplify and streamline my life.  Of course I got a stack of this type of book out from our local library.  Yes, that’s my personality… if one is good then twelve is better… at least when it comes to books. 

Well this one was definitely the best of the bunch.  So far, it has helped me to deal with my email inbox and organize my busy life a bit more.  If you’d like a taste, you can check out his free ebook called, Thriving on Less.  Enjoy!!!
