Simple is Easy

Complications are an outcome of confusions. In an effort to make drastic changes to our results, we take drastic measures. It adds up into confusions. And with confusions bad outcomes happen. Keep it simple, easy, repetitive, and joyful. Like, speech of PM Imran Khan, who repeats his words so much, that it becomes irritating yet hard to forget. Like Quran, that repeats events so much, that it becomes engrossed into our minds. Like Nike's motto, serenity of nature, or darkness of the night, that is instinctively known to us. Keep things close to less confusions and more simplicity.

Our thoughts convince us to take a step further. Everytime, I sit to write, it asks me to write different, add some spice up, bring in more events, that without knowledge turns into a lie. Sometimes, confusion leads me to meaningless outcome. It asks me to think through, prepare a plan, write thoroughly, bring in other's works. But everytime, I deviate from the purpose of putting across a post, it turns into a jumbled up bad work. Instead, focusing on the simplicity, and repetitive content — brings more fruit.

All things that product results, demands the will to sit and create. Bad quality work is better than no work. Simple and repetitive work is better than thinking and no action. Easy work is better than idle sittings and wasted mornings. Everytime, we trick ourselves into convincing our readers, we are different than we actually are — takes toll on our work ethics. It tricks us into adding much more spice than was needed, give un-necessarily more time than was required, scrap much deeper than was expected. We turn easy and fun tasks into boring and heavy tasks. It hurts our natural instincts, and next time we want to sit and create — we feel lazy, distracted and failed. Do not complicate simple tasks by making them unnecessarily lengthy. If you are putting in your reps, the quality is going to improve. Trust the process, and ship a simple product (give a simpler talk | write an easy letter).
