100 Ways To Simplify Your Life

I did not have the book to read this rather I listened to the audio of this book. It is 4.6 hrs long and I really like how this audio was laid out. The person reading the audio, I don't like so much as she's nowhere as animated as Joyce Meyer is at reading this, but it was okay.

There is nothing easy about the 100 ways to simplify your life. I wonder if Joyce does these things. Some of them I do do and I can see how they can simplify your life if you can apply them, but being that with all the baggage I still have left, it will take quite awhile to get through this list.

I do like how she references stories and verses in the Bible to back up these things. Each point is talked about in the 2-4 min. timeframe, which allows plenty of information to be disseminated.

Not sure if it would be okay for me to list all 100 of the points, but I'm going to, so if you want the book or the audio, you can go get it as it'll expound on each point.
