For some, the idea of working less hard feels uncomfortable. We feel guilty not going the extra mile each time. This mind set may have its roots in the puritan idea that the act of doing hard things always has an inherent value. Puritanism went beyond embracing the hard and extended to distrusting the easy - how to try too hard.
Have you ever sacrificed your time, energy, and sanity simply because you believed the only way to accomplish something worthwhile was through great effort?
What if you could find a way to make essential things easier?
Join me as I share an excerpt from my latest book, Effortless: Make It Easier to Do What Matters Most.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How to simplify complex problems and find effortless solutions.
- Why society teaches you to distrust the easy way. And why that belief is often wrong.
- How to use your instincts to find an easier path.
Sometimes all it takes to make a problem easier is looking at it differently.
