Keep it simple is my new motto.  How many times have you become overwhelmed with details?  Those details can bog you down, and keep you from accomplishing things, even little things.

Have you ever wanted to start a project but you don’t or you can’t get through it because you make it more and more complex?  This happens to me sometimes.  It can even happen with the silliest of things.  I need to vacuum but I really should move the furniture and get behind because it is getting dusty, so I will do it when I have more time and do a better job.  Only to find the day passes, when if you just kept it simple it would be much better than not doing it at all.

How about I need to respond to an email, but I have so much to catch them up on I will do it later when I have more time, and the days roll by.  Even a simple email or phone call to let someone know you care would have been much better than pushing it back to an unknown future date.

So many times we make things much more complex than they need to be.  Having a hard time deciding which direction to go in?  Make the decision that will keep life simple.  Happiness really does come from the simple things.

Just do it is another good thing to keep in mind.  If the day comes when you have more time you can always improve it.  Don’t keep waiting because you are making it too complicated.

I definitely struggle with this sometimes.  Keeping things simple makes life flow better, and leaves you in a more peaceful state of mind.  Of course there is always an exception to the rule, but make it rare, and remember simple is better than not at all, and things may just come out better that way.

Simple, Peaceful, Happiness

I completely agree with the vacumming and cleaning! I try to do a little at a time, because I get overwhelmed easily. I also try to pick up things around the house for 10-15 minutes before bed - it makes me feel so much better waking up to a clean house!
