Simplify: How to Make Life Better Through Simplification
Dear Essentialists,
Life becomes better when you make things simpler.
It seems like common sense, but we're all guilty of overcomplicating otherwise simple tasks in our lives.?
When I am struggling with a task that feels overwhelming, the first thing I try to do is step back and see how I can simplify it. I look for unnecessary or redundant steps I can eliminate. Often I am able to find a simpler way to achieve the same result.
Next time you come across a task you want to simplify, try these steps:
The change doesn’t have to be something grandiose. Just removing one tiny step from a complex process can make a big difference.
If you want to make everyday tasks easier, you won’t want to miss this week’s episode of the What’s Essential podcast.

3 年We should remember that simple and small steps does not always give small results. I remember a saying that says "through small and simple things are great things brought to pass." Like how a droplet can create a ripple, our small steps can make create great things. ????

3 年Many of us can relate to this article. We have the tendency to overthink and complicate things especially if we are in a difficult situation. But there are also times that we complicate things unconsciously even if we are not in a difficult situation.

3 年Listening to this book changed the way I think about everything. Taking the time to really think about what you want, and why, then working out how to achieve it is key. To focus only on the end goal can be overwhelming. We are all guilty of doing way too much that takes up time but doesn't move us closer to what we want to achieve. Cutting out the unnecessary 'busy work' really does free up time and mind-space for what is truly important.

3 年If life is simple and we need only three things to simplify our tasks WHY we need a 272 page book for that? Does it not defeat the very purpose what is suggested here?!??
