Making it easier, not harder

We make things hard.

Yep, you do too.

When we have a great idea and bandwidth for it, we could just force it to fit into 5 steps and complete the first one today. Or, we could just say, “That’s nice!” and wave the idea on its merry way.

But we don’t do that. We make lists. Lots and lots of lists. And we research. We stress about how much research there is to do, and how there are too many tasks to do. It could be forced to be easy, instead we force it to be hard.

Even something as simple as visting relatives for a weekend is made hard. We could just keep a sticky note somewhere, with 5 things to remember when you go written on it. Instead there’s last-minute stressing, turning around just before you hit the highway because of something you forgot, and all manner of other avoidable nonsense.

Most of us make things harder than they need to be.

Try bringing some ease to the party.

It’s there, hiding somewhere, waiting for you to find it.
