1. I ride bike, walk, or take the bus everywhere. No need to buy a car and have all the expenses and hassles related to it. No need to work extra hours to pay for it. I get to enjoy my environment and really see my neighbourhood.

2. I limit processed foods. Might seem like it would add to time management problems, but it actually solves a lot of problems. I don't have to wonder if I am eating healthy, or if I need to be on a diet, because food choices are not left to the last second when my will power is the lowest. I get to spend time relaxing while I do food preparation. I don't have to worry about all the excess packaging for the food items, or all the chemical additives to my food items. I have less garbage to worry about. And I spend less money on food, which means less hours working to pay for food.

3. I don't buy things on a whim. I have an ongoing list of things I really do need, but don't want to buy new, which I review regularly. That way I can avoid impulse shopping and yet still get things and thrift stores and yard sales and know I didn't buy the item because it was a good deal, but rather because it was on my list. If I have to buy something new, I make sure that I buy something that exactly what I need/want, and that it is built to last.

4. I periodically clean out my space and reflect on each item I sort through, whether I still like it, still use it, still need it. If not, it goes to charity. Having a cluttered space is so distracting and so stressful, at least for me. It adds to cleaning tasks. It requires more space. It requires organization units and storage units. I like my little space, with it's little rent.

5. I schedule my down time. It's just as important as anything else I have to get done in the run of a week. There was a survey out this past week that showed that when self discribed workaholics were compared other workers there was no difference between career arc, earnings, or productivity. Allowing yourself downtime actually increases your productivity, so you can achieve the same amount in less time.

6. I prioritize my To-Do list. Somethings have to be done, like paying the bills, making appointments, doing the laundry when you have nothing left to wear... Most things though, are not so necessary and can be pushed off a day if need be. I work my way through my list, but I don't get stressed if I fall a little bit behind from time to time.

7. I use the public library, not only as free entertainment, but for free information as well. It is a wonderful source on information on any topic, how to compost, how to make a quilt, how to eat healthy, spiritual teachings...

8. I like to get a great haircut that makes sure that my hair looks wonderful everyday without the need for styling products or a lot of time spent styling it daily. It might cost more, and requires that you take the effort to find a hair dresser who understands what you need/want, but it is so much of an ego boost and a time saver, which makes it worth every cent.

9. I don't maintain relationships where I feel I have to be someone I'm not, where I feel the need to justify any of my beliefs or actions. I don't mean to say that I have only friends who think and act just like me, but rather that I don't put myself in the position of feeling bad about myself. If they are okay with me, they are okay to me.

10. I always set my goals for myself, not for others, and plan for both the worst case senario and the ideal senario. That way I am always motivated towards my goals, but fine if things are bumpy along the way, or if I have to alter or abandon a goal here and there, it's not the end of the world.

I second what most people have said but I'd like to add the following ...
1. Living a Vegan lifestyle. This enables me to be compassionate, honest with myself and with the animals. I am very aware of what's going into and on my body.
2. Composting
3. Gardening - growing my own veggies/herbs
3. Recycling
4. Using soy candles for my evening lighting
5. Avoiding frivolous trips to anywhere
6. Keeping tchotchkies down to a minimum (I love decorating for holidays)
7. Teaching my beautiful kids to be compassionate and loving
