☑️ Simplicity isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s a strategic choice
Keeping things simple is the goal. Productivity ≠ doing more & faster. Actually, productivity = doing less, but better. More intentionally. Be aware of what you want to do and focus on it.
🤝 Essentialism and simplicity - trade-offs are real
You can’t do everything, and trying to will leave you burned out and ineffective. Essentialism means saying yes to to what is truly important and hell-yeah-worthy.
🤷🏼 Sorry, but you can’t have it all
When you try to do too many things at once, your brain pays the price. Multitasking makes you more distracted, tired… and less effective. Research shows that switching tasks can reduce productivity by up to 40%. Forty!
🔥 Focus is your superpower
Constant distractions and multitasking destroy your ability to do meaningful work so focus on the single most important task that moves the needle. But you don’t fall into focus by accident. Help yourself with rituals, routines and time blocks.
🚧 Barrier to entry must be low
Whether it’s starting a run, going on a diet, or writing a report — the first step should be frictionless. Complexity and lack of preparation gives your brain room to make excuses. Simplicity gets you moving before doubt creeps in.
