In an effort to simplify our lives and hence reduce stress, it is important to determine what clutters our lives. When we can do this, we can start clearing the clutter; learn to say no to temptations and then see a simpler life unfold.
Many people wonder how I can live without a microwave. Fair question as most people are unable to cook three times a day. I cook every few days and I place meals in containers. When I need to I use my stove to heat up the meal. I however, am incapable of eating the same meal three times and I loathe the concept of frozen food. So simple decision for me
Another item that I can certainly live without is a dryer. I can't understand why people who live in the tropics need a dryer. It takes an hour, tops, to dry clothes on a line. And nothing beats the scent of fresh air-dried clothes. Maybe except for cut grass.
What can you live without?
A microwave is much more efficient than an electric stove, and uses an equivalent amount of power as a gas stove, when you consider the source of the power etc. Additionally, in order to re-heat food on a stove you will use additional pot(s) spoons etc, which will use water to be cleaned, while a microwave could use the same dish that is was stored in, making less clutter.

What can I live without? Temptation. Temptation.
