“Simple can be harder than complex. You have to work hard to get your thinking clean, to make it simple. Once you get there, you can move mountains.”  ~ Steve Jobs

We humans have a strong tendency to make things harder and more complicated than necessary. Social proof, comparison, envy, and entrenched attitudes also contribute to a more complicated and stressful experience. Getting a life means stepping back and making thoughtful, deliberate steps to simplify our life, leaving time for the more important things. 

If you’re serious about changing things, you’ll need to improve your systems, delegate more, and most importantly, eliminate crap from your life that’s sucking up a non-renewable resource – time. Minutes, hours, and days spent doing foolish things is time that can never be recovered. We all have a limited amount of time on this earth. Don’t spend this non-renewable gift on needless time-sucks because you weren’t willing to step back.

Think and simplify your life. We’ve all allowed sloppy thinking and force of habit to chew up our time, to chew up our life. Commit today, in writing, to finding 15 ways to improve. 

• Five ways to improve your systems (the way you do things)
• Five ways to delegate more (i.e. put bills on autopay; shift responsibilities)
• Five things or behaviors to eliminate and simplify your life

“One does not accumulate but eliminate. It is not daily increase but daily decrease. The height of cultivation always runs to simplicity.”  ~ Bruce Lee
