Keep it Simple

A Post-It note above my desk readers three words: Keep it Simple. Three words is all it takes to remind myself of the most disguised and hidden truth in the natural world. I, like the rest of the human race, tend to overcomplicate, overthink, and overpower each of my daily tasks. From washing dishes to walking to class to writing a simple paragraph response for an online discussion board, I am an expert at de-simplifying my life.

But when I read those three words, a switch goes off. Clarity overshadows me. Innovations and problem solving strategies result. I am made new by three small words.

Keep it Simple. Simple routines, simple schedules, simple meals, simple workouts, simple home decor, simple priorities. Why? Because we always lose meaning in the details.
