Terri's Tuesday Tip of the Week - December 8th

 The role of genius is not to complicate the simple, but to simplify the complicated. - Criss Jami

 

Simplicity was a major topic the author pondered in 2020.  Throughout the year, she discovered the need for simplicity in her personal and professional life including in materials items, her writing, decision-making and thoughts.  

 

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication… - Leonardo da Vinci

 

The author has always loved the ocean, but discovered an increased love for it and discovered the peace the ocean provides due to the simplicity of waves rolling onto the shore when she traveled to the ocean in June and October.  When she became stressed or overwhelmed, the author played ocean waves on YouTube and looked at the ocean themed surroundings she placed in her apartment and was reminded of the beauty, simplicity and enjoyment the ocean brought her. 

 

Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious and adding the meaningful. - John Maeda

 

The author also discovered how easy chaos appears in her professional and personal life.  A simple statement, email or conversation can create chaos if she allows it to. 

 

Chaos is merely order waiting to be deciphered. - José Saramago, The Double

In 2021, the author will continue to work on deciphering the chaos to create simplicity and order in all areas of her life.

 

ACTION:  How did you incorporate simplicity into your life in 2020?  What actions do you plan to take to incorporate simplicity into 2021?
