The Day Makes the Year

Simplicity Vision or Pokémon GO

Jun 19, 2023

Principle four of the six principles of The Day Makes the Year (Makes a Life) is, Practice Relentless Simplicity. There are almost always one or two things that matter most. Practicing Relentless Simplicity will make your work easier, faster, and more effective. It also has an outsized impact on your personal life and overall happiness. 

One way to develop Relentless Simplicity is to practice what I call Simplicity Vision. I practice it daily. I love to look for examples of where people or companies have simplified things. I also learn when I constantly look for something where simplicity is needed. It’s a great way to develop your skill. It’s also a great way to help others. I see at least five things a day that were either simplified or needed to be. Practice your Simplicity Vision. The more you use it. The better you’ll become. 

 

Looking for simplicity opportunities is a lot like when you played Pokémon GO. Although it requires no app, and it will last longer than Pokémon GO did.
