Oversimplification beats overcomplication.
If it’s progress you’re after, one gets you moving, the other keeps you stuck, wondering where to start.
In coaching, when I’m helping clients navigate complex problems, I ask myself:
“What’s one simplest thing that, when done consistently, will move us forward?”
Not the smartest, most advanced, or feature-rich solution,
but the simplest, doable, visible, and measurable 1 move.
If you want to lose weight, for example, you could start with one rule:
All my drinks are calorie-free until I reach my goal.
For most people, that alone is enough to make real progress.
I’m in this tough spot in my business right now, not improving, and I'm asking myself: what’s the one simplest thing that, when done, will start moving things forward?
Whether it’s energy, mood, self-esteem, relationships, or health and fitness - there’s always one simple thing that can get things moving again.
So, what’s yours?
