I’m really trying to cut out the “voices” in my head. I spent some time wondering  how much energy and effort do I give to certain aspects of my life.

So here are some things that I’m cutting out for a season.

• Blogs: Too many can be a bad thing. I can spend way to much time and energy. So many great bloggers, but I had to cut some. If you’re a friend or live in Austin, then I will keep reading. I think I’m going to cut 50%.
• Books on Church: I think we can read so much that we actually get over-loaded with ideas and info. I want to read some biographies, personal/spiritual growth books etc. No more “this is how you do church books!”
• Internet: My laptop had become a virtual chain. Wherever I go, so goes my laptop. I’m going to do my best to stay away from the net as much as possible.
• Procrastination: I want to have a laser focus, work hard and be productive. I can’t accomplish this if I procrastinate.
• TV: Necole and I only watch a handful of shows. Heroes, Criminal Minds & Chuck. That basically it. And that is good.
• Social Networking: I’m still debating this. I hate Myspace and Facebook. I love Virb. I think I will have to keep Facebook (I almost deleted it last week) but I think its worthwhile. I wish Virb would catch on more. I want a simple, yet effective site. I don’t care about pirates and 100,000 applications. Content is king, all the crap gets in the way.

Anyhow-just some simple ways to make sure I prioritize and connect with God, my family and friends. I hope my mind will be clear and I can get some more rest. We shall see.

Those are some practical ways to uncluttered my mind…At least for a season.

Do you need to do the same? If so, how…What can you do to simplify?
