Zhang Wentian once said in his speech: "The ideal of life is for the ideal life."
In the present context, this sentence can be understood as: all our busyness in daily life is for a more reasonable and comfortable future. In other words, a better future is always the inexhaustible power for us to strive for.
But what exactly is the ideal life?
Financial freedom or time freedom?
Or is it, as the Internet quips, "My dream is not to work"?
I'm afraid everyone has different expectations for the future.
The same is, in order to that elusive ideal life, many people are busy, looking for shortcuts, looking for a quick way, often forget the life is really like.
As the book "Tomorrow is a Little Spring Day" says:
"Today's adults are so busy, so busy, so busy with their lives that it may seem like a new world at first glance, but that may not be the case."
Because the real people who will live, not only have a good future, but also have a good present ordinary state of mind, just like the Jin Duan couple in "Tomorrow is also a small Spring day and", seemingly every day is ordinary, but in the long run, they live the most ideal appearance.
I especially like the way they run their lives, and I find these 5 things to learn from their stories.

Keep a journal of your daily life so that the good times can be tracked.
In Jinduan home there are a lot of well-placed folders, it is a repair of Mr A detailed record of daily life.
With the passage of time, he wrote down the couple's happy life.
He would note what vegetables were growing in the fields and when the work was done;
Write down the dishes for dinner every day, what gifts to give to the guests, and what the guests ate.
On top of that, he kept a diary, but he kept it only on days when he felt particularly happy, so he kept it only every few days.
Interestingly, he also adds vignettes to his notes and diaries, cheerfully and earnestly recording every detail of his life.
Regarding the record, Mr. Xiu Yi said as follows:
"Keep a journal of your daily life, save it, and you will find that your life will be much better."
For Mr Xiu, the point is to record the act itself.

Mr. Xiu yi is taking notes
The arrangement and induction technique suitable for everyone makes life more convenient and orderly.
No matter when to the end of the house to visit, will find that the home clean and tidy, this is because fix a Mr Took the responsibility to tidy up the house.
There are three methods he often uses. The first is to make full use of numbers.
He would put a number on the box where the item was to be placed, and if he asked someone to carry it, he would say what number it was in, not in the box containing "x", which would be immediately understood.
The second method is to put items of the same style together.
For the sake of beauty, Mr. Xiu yi sometimes arranges items of the same size in a row, and sometimes arranges items of different sizes in a row by their heads.
If the colors and patterns of the items were too conspicuous to match, he painted them the same color.
The third way is to use the signs to make life easier.
Jinduan's unique yellow sign is usually used in two places, one is to mark what has been planted in the garden, and the other is to mark what is on the storage box or items of the family, you can know what it is at a glance, and you can quickly find what you need.
Referring to the arrangement of scripture, Repair a Mr. Said:
"When I do this, the basic principle is to make the process as simple, easy to understand and easy to use as possible.
I've designed the process and the method so that whoever takes over can do it easily."
This is true, judging by the three methods he used.

A hand-drawn illustration by Mr. Xiu Yi
Arrange the little things at hand so that the housewife can cover all the tasks.
As a housewife, it is not easy to arrange three meals a day.
But Ms Yingko has long been used to it. Besides daily meals, frozen food and snacks, she is also comfortable with manual work such as embroidery and knitting.
How on earth could it be so perfect?
It used to be that in the morning, when she was casserole cooking rice, Ms. Yingko would quickly pack out the vegetables and save them for frozen meals.
When making jam, she also makes the most of her time by making up the noodles she wants to make for dessert.
In other words, while she was busy in the kitchen, she found time to do other things.
Because it's all done in a hurry, there's no sense of being "finished".
This is Ms Yingko's secret.
Whatever you do, trying to do it all at once often leads to an involuntary desire to slack off.
But if you take your time while you're free, it won't be so hard.
Ms Yingko says it is best not to end up doing housework or anything else together.
If you put it off, you'll be in trouble later.
It's the little things that count.
As she said, "When you live your life in detail, it breaks into a million tiny pieces.
Life is really made up of the little things every day."
Ms Yingko makes vegetable juice
Take the trouble to maintain freshness and create a comfortable living environment.
Jin End home is fixed every year before summer winter two seasons decorate household afresh, if think of what convenient life at ordinary times good idea also can practice immediately, begin to change household display.
They are not change furniture, it is to change bedspread normally, cushion for leaning on seat cover to wait, borrow these small thing to build a seasonal feeling, or it is to change the orientation of dining table, change a position to vertical brazier etc.
Changing the layout allowed the two old men to notice the corners of the room and devote more thought to the home, trying to improve the inconveniences of life.
Sometimes redecorating takes days at a time, which is hard work, but the finished rooms are actually more convenient and comfortable than before, which is very rewarding.
Mr. Xiu Yi said:
"A lot of people think that when you get older you should make life as easy and as comfortable as possible, but I think if your home stays the same, you'll have fewer memories."
So, for a room makeover, they have more family memories, a deep attachment to the home.

Freshly picked vegetables
Do not set limits because of age, always have passion for life.
Mr. Shuyi is 86, And Ms. Yingko is 83. They are still in good health and good spirit, and they can do farm work with great ease.
In Ms Yingko's words, it is:
"We are now like weeds in the garden. We are extremely hardy."
Mr Shuichi has loved sailing since he was young and has spent a lot of time and energy on cruises over the years.
Now he had an idea. If he was 88 and his health was all right, he was going on another cruise and he had a destination in mind: Tahiti.
Miss Ying Zi also fell in love with embroidery recently, as soon as be free, rush on embroidery.
They also have a good wish, if you win the lottery, they will build a villa for their two daughters in the park, the design drawing Repair a Mr. Painting, the location is also selected.
It can be seen that as far as possible, the two old people are old, but their enthusiasm for life has not diminished, full of expectations for the future.
I think it is because these two old people are not limited by age, always have a passion for life, so that they live so quiet and happy.
Life aesthetician Snow Zen once said: "the greatest skill in life is to have no skill, honestly live a good day, the more plain the more gorgeous, in the fleeting time like water to achieve the legendary poem and distance."
The 80-year-old Jinduan couple can do, I think, as long as we are willing to, through hard work, also can do.
