Add them like they're positive.

Explanation:

Since both of the numbers are negative, just treat them like they're positive and then tack on a negative sign when you're done simplifying.
$- \frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{3}$ $-1/3-1/3$

$\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3}$ $1/3+1/3=2/3$

$- \frac{2}{3}$ $-2/3$
