The Simplicity Principle (Book by Julia Hobsbawm)- 2020

1- Keep it as simple as possible, and choose the easier options to make life manageable.

2- Clear the way for more clarity, get rid of distractions (you need 23 minutes to get back on track), and lessen the options available, establish boundaries, drop many tasks, and get rid of clutter anywhere.

3- Be yourself, get away from complexity of life, and set your rules for peace of mind.

4- Reset, take a break , and take a deep breath (metaphorically and physically).

5- Limit the information you consume, consume on the good (and even then, only the necessary).

6- Recharge with the face-to-face meetings with people, and get into relational exchanges (not transactional).

7- Learn the skills of time management, don't over promise, and take it easy on yourself.

This book is simply a re-packaging of basic advise, which almost everyone knows, but no one executes. A reminder that we need to remember we're human after all, and to not give in to the digitization "not-enough" culture.
