A think a lot of it is focused on the self (I will have more time, I will feel less stressed, I will ...). Which is okay, but I believe it tends to be an unbalanced perspective. Also I think there tends to be a bit of worshipping of effieciency in our society. On the other hand, there are a number of really worthwhile references dealing with simplicity and Christianity. Richard Foster's Celebration of Discipline gives a good introduction to this topic. He also has written a whole book on the subject (Freedom of Simplicity). Another good book is "Heaven is not my home" which mentions the importance of play (something that is not usually seen as effecient).<br />All that being said, I really like the Zen habits blogged mentioned earlier; and basically one of my biggest passions in life is organization.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
