Helping others become even better versions of themselves
We often mystify and complicate things in order to create reasons not do something or to make ourselves look more knowledgeable and valuable than others. But others see through it and realise it and we are only kidding ourselves.
It is better to keep things simple and easy to achieve, then we gain a reputation for being straight-forward, effective and a person who delivers real value.
Simple things are easier to start, maintain and finish.
Simplicity rather than razzmatazz and complexity.
We all have this feeling that we do our best stuff under pressure with a gun to our head.
To some extent there is truth in this, we do need deadlines to keep us focused.
However, rushed work is never going to be our best work.
The best work takes time, patience and being able to spend time concentrated on that one piece of work and that one bit of work only. That means shutting ourselves off, preparing and being able to work deeply.
We can not work deeply with a gun to our head.
