Sometimes the biggest obstacle isn’t the problem itself.
It’s everything we add to it.
We overthink the decision, imagine every possible outcome, and convince ourselves that the solution must be complicated.
But not every problem requires a complicated answer.
Sometimes you just need to identify what’s important, remove what’s unnecessary, and take the next step.
The Simplifier’s Take: Before looking for a bigger solution, see what you can simplify.
Before you make something more complicated, ask yourself what you can remove. Sometimes the simplest solution is the one you’ve been overlooking.
