A New Book and a Guest Post

I’ve been spending my free cycles over the last four weeks working on writing my first eBook online.  It was meant as a means to put together a few great ideas on Life Simplification and then offer to would-be subscribers here at You, Simplified and at Scribe for the Tribe, but since I can’t seem to find a clean way to offer it up via Feedburner, and I’m loathe to try a new-to-me service like AWeber, I’ve just linked it off the new, simple, Steal My Ebook page on the main You, Simplified site.  Please check it out and sign up for email alerts for when new articles are published.

The Book is called, aptly, “You, Simplified – Handbook for a Simpler Life.

It’s a free eBook, running at 11,000 words and 53 pages.  I cover five main topics in the book as follows:

1.  Life Design 101 – Learn how to create a clear picture of the life you want, the life you were meant to live.  Then engage in the steps necessary to clear your current life of distractions to let your new life in.

2.  Simplify Your Stuff – Do not have anything around your home that is not either beautiful or extremely useful.  You’ll learn some techniques to clean up your home.

3.  Simplify Your Commitments – Everyone has 24 hours in a day.  How you spend them determines whether you will reach your goals or not.

4.  Simplify Your Health – It can be hard to fit in regular exercise, but it really takes surprisingly little to get you into functional shape.

5.  Simplify Your Finances – Most people stay in the rut that they are in because they need the money.  Structure your finances in a way that will allow you to pursue your passions.

Last, but certainly not least, I’ve had the good fortune of having an article published today over at a terrific blog called Balance in Me.  Please show some link love and head over there to check it out, “6 Life-Changing Lessons Learned in 6 Months of Raising 3 Babies.”

Thanks Dave,

I wanted to let you know that I downloaded your book, 7 Steps to a Simpler Life a month ago and have read it three times since. It’s a great little guide, and, along with Leo’s Minimalist Handbook, are my two favorite Minimalist ebooks right now. Thanks for writing it.
