Product Description
Product Description
International best-selling author Elaine St. James offers up a new collection of simple tips to help you minimize life's chaos. Her commonsense solutions will have you breathing a deep sigh of relief as you ask yourself, "Why didn't I think of that?"A compilation of the best ideas from St. James's previous five books, plus important new material, 365 Simple Reminders is a wonderful, witty guide that will lead you back to a less-complicated way of life. St. James's advice includes: - Sell the damn boat.- Be selective about giving out your E-mail address.- Make water your drink of choice.- Never remodel.- If you must remodel, don't live in your home while it's being remodeled.- Get rid of all but one or two of your credit cards.- Always sit down to eat.- Beware of exercise equipment, fire your personal trainer, and go take a walk.- If you can't pay for it in full by the end of the month, don't buy it.- Slow down to the posted speed limit.- Replace your lawn with low-maintenance, drought-tolerant ground cover.- If it's not working, stop doing it.- Resign from any organization whose meetings you dread.- Show your kids how to manage their own space and stuff.- Never allow a ringing phone to interrupt a meal with your family. Her thoughts are a straightforward and powerful recipe for getting rid of the unnecessary, life-cluttering tasks we find ourselves doing without pausing to ask why.

By C. Brown "dirty_work" (Atlanta, GA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 365 Simple Reminders: Ways tokeep Life Simple (Paperback)
I have found many of these "Life's Instruction Book" type of items to be new-agey or over sentimental. The inclusions in this book are straight-forward, and many cause a little chuckle or two. I wouldn't hesitate to give this book to my cynical friends and family. I bought a couple of books and included them in gifts for my stressed family or tense friends. It should help everyone get in touch with the simplier pleasures in life, without being hokey or sappy.

a recycled book,
By Jas L. Ems "g03mum" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 365 Simple Reminders: Ways tokeep Life Simple (Paperback)
I was disappointed with this book. I knew it would have bits from the author's previous books plus new words of wisdom. But each page only had one sentence of advice. I thought she'd write a little bit about each suggestion like in her previous books. i'm glad I bought this book used. Otherwise it was a waste of money for me.
