Like a broken record?

quote about choice
Choosing wisely is hard work. So is choosing poorly. We forget the later.

 

Like a broken record?

Yes.

Every day it’s the same thing.

And part of our routine is to be open to spontaneity. Routine can inhibit spontaneity.

Everyone knows that.

But being decently organized and simplified facilitates a balanced amount of spontaneity.

Without being decently organized, we spend too much of our time slowly falling behind.

Falling behind inhibits enjoyment of spontaneity.

Like the unstoppable movement of the Ocean’s tide

Logi Circle home security cameras
Each company offers something slightly different. It’s interesting to experience it rather than reading about it.

 

Philips Hue digital home life systems
Philips Hue home systems offer wireless lightbulbs. Wow.

 

Like the unstoppable movement of the Ocean’s tide, our to-do list ebbs and flows.

But mostly it flows.

Why?

Because we are creative thinkers, and we never cease to have ideas – ideas that can make our life’s challenges get better or go away.

And in this never-ending idea generation, we forget the basics and we forget simplicity.

Because we forget, we continuously overwhelm ourselves.

And so it goes.

PS. Just look at your inbox or desk if you need proof. The basics? Keep our in box empty. Keep our desk uncluttered. Everyday.

Ps. There will be exceptions. Be extremely cautious though, exceptions have an insidious way of becoming the standard.

Why is it challenging to keep things simple?

Why is it challenging to keep things simple?

Guessing it’s because there are so many alluring choices.

For literally everything.

All the time.

So yeah.

Try to explain organization to someone who’s never had it

Try to explain decent home and personal organization to someone who’s never had it.
