7. Set boundaries.
Once you stop trying to control others, you have to find ways to live together with different goals and different ways of life. If you want to simplify and the others you live or work with don’t, how can you peacefully coexist in the same space? Some possibilities (but nowhere near an exhaustive list): decide who owns what and just simplify your own things; split up the house or office into your area and theirs; find a happy compromise between simplicity and major clutter.
7.设置边界。
一旦你停止尝试去控制别人,你不得不带着不同的目标,不同的生活方式重新开始。如果你想要简化,然而与你生活或是工作的人却不是那样做,你怎样在相同的地方与这些人和平共处呢?有如下可能性(但是,是其它地方没有的完整清单):决定由谁拥有,简化你自己的事情;在家里和办公室里划分不同阵营的区域;在简单与复杂之间找一个令人满意的折衷。
