Keep It Simple Sweetie
Simplicity makes a difference in all our lives. Creating a simple plan, working on a simplified project, and communicating simply are all important aspects of simplying our lives. I love the mantra of Keep It Simple Sweetie because it reminds us in a fun way to keep things as simple as possible. Often complexity makes a task overwhelming and paralyzing. The details become the project instead of the outcome. Think of the tasks to accomplish, whether for home or work, and see what the most direct path to accomplish that can be.
- Start with the end in mind. What do you want to accomplish and what is the deadline? What is the path to accomplish the goal?
- Ask for help from your team, whether it is your family or co-workers. A team effort makes the work more fun, gets the job done quickly and lessens your work load.
- Stay on task for completion. Keep off those bunny trails. If you are easily distracted, create reminders to keep going and get it done.
- Remember that done is perfect! Balance your perfectionism with the time allotted to get the job done.
Simple steps for your work at home or elsewhere create effectiveness and efficiency. Your benefit is your great sense of productivity for accomplishments! And you get to do the really fun stuff now!
