Simplify Your Life
Workplace Ideas

• Telecommute if possible. You will save on travel time, gasoline, and auto maintenance costs. And you'll spend less time with annoying co-workers (if you have any).
• Live near where you work. Cut commuting time, get to know your community, and get a good work-out twice each day.
• When thinking about accepting a promotion, consider whether the extra income is worth the extra hassles. If you do take a promotion, consider negotiating time off in lieu of some of the extra pay.
• Don't always answer your phone, especially if you have voice mail or other messaging service.
• Make difficult phone calls (or do other difficult tasks) early in the day, so that they are not worrying you the rest of the day.
