Simplify: 106 Ways To Uncomplicate Your Life is better than a pair of scissors to cut out the clutter. These pages can help readers snip off some time-consuming tasks while adding time-enhancing activities to their lives. Written with a breezy and uncomplicated style, Simplify is more like visiting with this author on a Saturday afternoon.

The theme of this book is "finding happiness by living simply". In our materialistic society, the words "happiness" and "simply" don't seem to be synonymous, but Paul Borthwick shows how perfectly they fit together. The book is divided into seven chapters, with each one examining another aspect of time and money management. Yet, these pages are concerned with more than just increasing productivity or creating free time. The insights presented offer new ways of thinking that will make every minute more meaningful.

Everyone who picks up this book will find valuable nuggets of common sense applied within a Christian mindset. The advice offered is very practical and thoughtful, and will encourage readers to view time as an opportunity to live more abundantly. The 106 ways to uncomplicate your life are broken down into categories, making the book very easy to navigate. Whether you are looking for ways to save money or to spend your leisure time, these tips are realistic. The author interjects his views with sincerity and a dash of humor, making his words seem like the counsel of a trusted friend who truly cares.

Simplify gets to the heart of cleaning out some of life's clutter with solid sense that will save you both cents and precious seconds.
