I have this theory that the amount of keys on your keyring is a pretty good indication of how busy/complicated your life is. I have two, soon to be three keys on my keyring – one for my old cottage, one for my old car and one to be added for my old caravan.

I don’t really need a key for my work because I am no longer the first one to arrive and the last to leave, I don’t own many things because to me ‘things’ just mean I have to work more to maintain those things. When I bought my cottage they didn’t give me a front door key so I use the back door and I love the fact that I no longer have to go around and lock 4 or 5 doors when I leave the house – I only need to lock one – that may sound strange but having a simple life is one of my top priorities.

Do you have lots of keys on your key ring and do all those ‘keys’ make you feel stressed? Should you be getting rid of some ‘keys’ but which ones would you get rid of first?
