You’re Overcomplicating It
A Simple Solution to a Complex Problem
I know you’re overcomplicating things, because everybody does. Including me, the nerd who studies this stuff for a living. We all tend to overthink and overanalyze, making things more complicated than they need to be.
A Personal Story
Recently, I shared a story on Threads and Instagram about how I was feeling overwhelmed and sluggish in the morning. I couldn’t focus on my work, and I was struggling to get out of bed. I realized that I was overcomplicating things and needed to simplify my routine.
Getting Back to Basics
I started by getting some exercise, eating a balanced dinner, and putting down my phone. I turned off the TV and went to bed at a reasonable time. Instead of scrolling social media, I read a book and then went to bed. The next morning, I woke up feeling like a million bucks. I had no problem focusing on my work, and I felt better.
The Power of Simplicity
Many companies manufacture complicated problems to sell us complicated solutions. They tell us that we need to buy their products or services to achieve our goals. But the truth is, simplicity is often the key to success.
Simple, Not Easy
Simplifying our lives and routines is not always easy. It requires discipline and commitment. But the payoff is worth it. When we simplify, we can focus on what’s truly important and achieve our goals more efficiently.
Why We Overcomplicate
We overcomplicate things because we’re overwhelmed with information and inputs. We’re bombarded with ads, social media, and news, making it difficult to focus. We also have hormones, kids, jobs, and messy fights with our spouses, making it hard to prioritize what’s truly important.
The Solution
The solution is simple: eat the right number of calories for your goal weight, eat protein, fruits, and vegetables, strength train 2-3 times a week, go for walks, and put down your phone and go to sleep. If the scale isn’t going down, reduce calories consumed. Full stop.
Conclusion
Simplifying our lives and routines is not always easy, but it’s often the key to success. By focusing on what’s truly important and eliminating unnecessary complexity, we can achieve our goals more efficiently. Remember, simplicity is not the absence of complexity, but the presence of clarity.
