These are 4 examples of how a Simplify Station could be implemented. Everyone’s individual lives and preferences are
different. There isn’t a “right” system for everyone, but there is a right system for you! It may take some tweaking and
adapting to find the best strategies for your individual life. Get started, and learn to tweak and adjust as you go. It’ll take
time to create the right system for you but you can do it!
