I disagree. The article could have been more brief but I found every point to be good. Simplifying your wardrobe to pieces you do wear and you could wear together doesn't make it boring -- I speak from experience, but more practical.

Routines and automation are also very good. They reduce greatly mental load and help physically to manage efficiently tasks that always come back.

I don't really agree with the idea of "saying no to social situation for your own good" but I guess it could be useful to people in an overly extrovert culture that tend to overbook and exhaust themselves, especially if the activities they do are payed ones. That advice doesn't fit in my life at all but maybe in someone else.
