Simplicity isn't static.
Jonathan Stewart:Yesterday, I spoke about redefining simplicity about how simplicity
Jonathan Stewart:isn't about less or more.
Jonathan Stewart:It's about finding enough in the context you're in.
Jonathan Stewart:A lot of the work I do for clients is about bringing more
Jonathan Stewart:simplicity into their business.
Jonathan Stewart:It's about finding solutions that reduce the overwhelm, but what
Jonathan Stewart:happens when the overwhelm is gone?
Jonathan Stewart:And you're left with something that no longer suits the
Jonathan Stewart:environment that you're in.
Jonathan Stewart:For example, you can purchase a template and it will reduce overwhelm
Jonathan Stewart:if it is a good template for a time.
Jonathan Stewart:But once you get used to the template and the environment changes and
Jonathan Stewart:you're looking for a little bit more.
Jonathan Stewart:You'll no longer feeling that overwhelm of oh my gosh there's too many things to do.
Jonathan Stewart:It becomes over-simplified.
Jonathan Stewart:There is less nuance or context that you can use.
Jonathan Stewart:Your system never needs to be done because it assumes that there is an endpoint.
Jonathan Stewart:Simplicity.
Jonathan Stewart:Isn't static.
Jonathan Stewart:Now that doesn't mean you have to rebuild everything once a month, but
Jonathan Stewart:it's important to make sure that the way that you work and what tools you're
Jonathan Stewart:using are always fitting your needs.
Jonathan Stewart:Simplicity, isn't static.
Jonathan Stewart:It's ever evolving and changing, and it's important to pay attention
Jonathan Stewart:to how you exist within the system and what needs to change to help
Jonathan Stewart:fit you where you're at now.
Jonathan Stewart:We are bombarded by hundreds of things every day, telling us how to behave
Jonathan Stewart:and we're told to stick to just one single way of working all the time,
Jonathan Stewart:even when it's no longer serving this.
Jonathan Stewart:This can range from everything from the tech we use to the offers we're providing.
Jonathan Stewart:All of them based on something we were told to do.
Jonathan Stewart:Instead of spinning in the spot, hoping to get out of the mud of all
Jonathan Stewart:the things that you built in the past.
Jonathan Stewart:Start from you.
Jonathan Stewart:Don't wanna go it alone?
