In a world of new urgent messages, needed products, and pressing “to dos,” I have a gift for you. From Austin, TX, here’s a path to choose one less thing.
It is exciting and easy to say yes to just one more thing. A new commitment or responsibility. New belongings. A new concern. We make our lives more interesting and hopeful by layering on to what’s already there. Yet, new and more often compounds the chaos. It takes effort and strategy to resist the impulse to add on. And choosing less can bring powerful focus, and productivity.
The path to simplification is .. well simple, but not easy. It involves the consistent, relentless elimination of what is extraneous, unnecessary, or overly complex.
One less responsibility, because you choose to say no.
One less worry, because you choose to let it go.
One less step in the process. Or better yet, one less process.
One less expense, or subscription, because you don’t need it.
One less possession, finding abundance in reduction and giving away.
Just because you once thought it necessary or important doesn’t mean it still is. And were you given a gift, or an obligation to carry it forever?
If this seems intimidating, start small. Commit to choosing just one less thing, then one more. You may soon be on a roll, relieved by the release of what you’re better off without. Until next week, stay Off Balance On Purpose.
