About this episode

An Uncomplicated Life The Easy Way

Do you ever wish you had a uncomplicated your life?  

If you are a normal person and are NOT flying an airplane or performing brain surgery right now, there’s a good chance that you are are overcomplicating everything.  

These rules will help:

Rule #1: Practice the rule of "Good Enough." Perfectionism is overrated.

Rule #2: Say No. Repeat it. Say NO a lot! 

Rule #3 - When you find yourself so busy that you can't keep up, resolve to complete what you are doing, and NEVER do it again. Yes. It’s possible.

Leonardo da Vinci said, "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." 

Why not show everybody how sophisticated you are today?
