It Could Be Easier

That thing you’re working on?

It could be easier.

Sometimes, we make things harder than they need to be because that’s the point. Exercise doesn’t benefit from looking for ways to make things easier, for instance.

But most of the time our work doesn’t benefit from hardness. Learning a new skill can be hard or easy. Building a new product can be hard or easy. Connecting with your choice of market can be hard or easy.

Usually, there is an opportunity to make it easier… and unlock more of your genius in other areas to make your impact even greater.

In most areas of your pursuit of meaningful work, it’s worth asking yourself: How could I make better by making it easier?
