Less shopping, more nature
Less email, more conversation
Less junk food, more real food
Less driving, more walking and biking
Less stuff, more space
Less alcohol, more money saved
Less waste, more energy conservation
Less compulsiveness, more contentment
Less oil energy, more wind and solar energy
Less driving alone, more carpooling and vanpooling
Less fear-based religion, more love-based religion
- And that’s my 64 word summary of the diamond-cut life that I keep working to build, the life that takes care of both people and planet, both present and future generations.
. I got this general format idea of “less this, more that” from the helpful blog Zen Habits. Its author, like me, encourages readers to use and circulate what we write.
What would you like less of and more of in your life?

I will take those valuable 64 words and apply them to my life! Love the summary!
Libby, good to hear this works for you. Summaries can be soothing, it often seems to me — hitting the high points, without a lot of distracting details.
Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow night.
This is a good & challenging exercise, thank you! These are my wishes for those of us in the prosperous USA and elsewhere…and it definitely includes myself:
I’d like LESS self-absorption and taking-for-granted and MORE unselfish giving of time and/or money to others (and causes) in need.
I concur with your vision, Colleen. Thanks for sharing this.
Good one Alison, just linked to it!
excellent post, very concise
It is especially nice to hear that, coming from an award-winning poet like yourself
