What's something you stopped doing that made life simpler

Not something dramatic—just a small thing you stopped doing that reduced stress or noise. I think a lot of us spend so much time doing things out of habit or obligation without even thinking about whether they actually add value to our lives. For me, I stopped checking my email first thing in the morning and it honestly made such a difference. I used to wake up and immediately jump into work mode, getting stressed about things that could have waited until later. By shifting that routine and giving myself time to have a cup of coffee and read something for pleasure before diving into emails, I've noticed my overall anxiety levels are lower and I start my day much more intentionally. What's something you stopped doing that made life simpler for you? Was it something work-related, a digital habit, a social obligation, or something else? Did you find that stopping one thing created space for other positive changes in your life?

I stopped saying yes to every social invitation, and honestly, it feels great to have my evenings back.

I stopped feeling obligated to reply to every group chat, and its been a game changer for my peace of mind.

I stopped scrolling through social media at night, and it really helped me sleep better and feel more relaxed.
