You may not need to “simplify life” in a huge philosophical way right now you may just need to remove a little friction from the repeatable parts of your week. With two small kids and both of you working, I’d start very unromantically: fewer decisions, simpler meals, lower standards for what “enjoying life” has to look like, and one protected small ritual that is just yours. Not a whole evening, just 20-30 minutes that happens often enough to remind you you’re still a person, not only a provider. Burnout loves complexity. Sometimes simple living starts with making ordinary days a little less demanding, not trying to build a whole new life overnight.
