After extensive reasearch a.k.a my life thus far …… here are a few attitudes and habits to adopt if you would like to make your life a bit harder, less simple. If you choose not to make it that way just do the opposite of the list – as always your life is what you choose it to be.
THE LIST:
1. Get rid of your weekly plan – and especially your daily, yearly and 5 yearly one
2. Always think about the past
3. Always focus on what doesn’t really matter – sweat the small stuff
4. Keep all irrelevant pieces of paper
5. Always let stress get the better of you
6. Always accept interruptions when you work
7. Procrastinate all things
8. Don’t have lists for anything — this one doesn’t count 
9. Let the day free flow – don’t schedule anything
10. Do lots of things at the same time
11. Never feel proud of yourself for accomplishing anything you do
12. Don’t have any goals
13. If someone asks you to do something always say yes – their stuff is more important than yours
14. Rush through everything you do
15. Do not prioritise
16. Have as many useless possessions as possible
17. Do everything yourself – don’t delegate to anyone
18. Always keep your desk and work surfaces messy and cluttered
19. Never believe you will do anything
20. Surround yourself with friends who do not support and encourage you
Enjoy

Oh my goodness. I am guilty of so many of these! Making a few changes as we speak starting with bringing back a daily schedule.
Thanks for this

its a tiny bit scary how many things I do on that list!
I had a problem with the list because I prefer looking at things from the positive. I understand why you did it this way-but like to see it the other way around-ways to make your life easier.

@Susie….I too like to look at things from the ‘good’ angle
Doing it this way though I was trying to let others see what they might want to remove as opposed to what they might like to adopt. Recognising items on the list may help someone realise that they do that in life [they may not be conscious that they are doing it] and thus by becoming aware of what they are doing, they do the opposite and make their life easier
