Social media can connect you to friends and family, bring you the latest and most important news, and help you discover things you would never come across otherwise.

The contacts on your social media can add up quickly over time as we constantly follow more people. Adding in other junk accounts can make things even worse. The next time you load up one of your social media apps, take some time to unfollow the accounts and people you’re no longer interested in.
•Turn off notices
Fewer notices can help you keep focused and create a healthy habit of checking social media only when you really have to. Notices aren’t too difficult to control these days.

Your car isn’t just essential for keeping yourself safe as the colder months draw closer.
Check your car’s battery
The last thing you want is to be stuck on a country road or a motorway in minus temperatures with a dead battery.
Don’t forget de-icing spray
Invest in winter tyres
If you’ve got a long distance to work and back every day, or are planning a long drive over Christmas to catch up with friends and family, then it might be worth considering buying some winter-ready tyres.
Check your car’s wipers
Your car’s windscreen wipers are vital during the winter months. If your wipers are split or damaged, they won’t clear rain away properly and will block your visibility, especially if you’re caught in heavy rain or snow.
If you’re choosing not to get a new pair of winter tyres for your car, then you should always look at your current tyres to make sure they’re adequately inflated (充气) to the right level. Tyres tend to deflate in colder conditions and this will reduce the control you have over your car when driving, so check your car’s tyres regularly (ideally at least once a month) over the winter months.
Our tips will significantly reduce the chances of you running into trouble on the road this winter.
| A．Inspect your tyre pressure |
| B．Choose proper tyres for your car |
| C．If you break down for whatever reason |
| D．Car windows thick with ice in the morning |
| E．If your car is taking a long time to start when you turn the key |
| F．This could potentially result in a crash and put you and other road users in danger, so make sure to check these too |
| G．Taking the right steps to ensure your car is ready for winter can also save you a sum of money in case anything goes wrong |
Being minimalist is about intentionally reducing your possessions to the items you value most and increasing the amount of time you spend on the people and activities you truly enjoy. It can take many forms.
Try clearing away your possessions
If you think hard, you will realize that the physical things you own are not the most important parts of your life. In this case you can clear away all but the most essential things in sweeps. Focus on keeping things that you value deeply.
You must have many friends, but how many of them are people who motivate and inspire you to grow and learn? Becoming minimalist means that you evaluate how well they fit into your ideal life and maximizing your social time spent on people who lift you up. Then you can also free up more time to spend on other priorities in life.
Take time for introspection
Introspection, which means you sitting with your own thoughts, is what people are terrified of in so “busy” a world.
Even though everyone embraces minimalism differently, each path leads to the same place: a more meaningful life with more time and more freedom. Hopefully you will get there.
| A．Have less possessions to enjoy more |
| B．Anyway, you should make space to think |
| C．People are eager for another way of living |
| D．Consider your lifestyle around relationships |
| E．Get rid of things that you don't need any longer |
| F．It’s worth focusing your time on people that matter |
| G．The important part is to figure out your flavor of minimalism |
