The Focus Bee Show (104) The Life Changing Art of Simplicity
How often do we over-complicate things when really it is all simple? If we work on simplifying many aspects of our life, we will generate much greater focus & freedom!
- Simplifying is often linked with minimalism or the Marie Kondo method of sorting material possessions. Decluttering your physical space can greatly contribute to a sense of inner peace and well-being.
- Simplicity can be related to many other areas in your life: reducing the amounts of goals that you have thought you can be laser-focused on the goals that matter most to you.
- Work projects, processes, can also do with a good amount of simplifying! Look at your workload with new eyes and ask yourself: what is unnecessary? What can change, delete or delegate?
- Social life and friendships, as harsh as this may sound, can also benefit from this. Being extremely mindful of how you spend your time and energy, and which friends you choose to spend time with is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself.
- Digital world! How many apps clutter your phone, folders on your computer, or email addresses? Simplifying the lot can help you to think more clearly and gain focus and mental space!
I used to be a fairly scattered person (there is a reason why I got into focus!) and I have found, time and time again, that a good dose of simplifying can be real magic! When you are feeling scattered, or overwhelmed, simplify your life and your commitments.
