Reducing the parameters on tasks, and eliminating tasks has been a huge win for us. Tranquility, and still results.

This is venturing off-topic, but can you expand on "eliminating tasks." Is eliminating a task like setting up auto bill pay, or getting rid of items that I don't want to clean?

Yes to both. This is my heuristic:

- think about what would happen if something is simply left undone

- can I do the same task with fewer steps

- if I relaxed the definition of success a little, does it get a lot easier?

- can I farm it out to a person or a service? (Like bill autopay, or Instacart)
