Your Daily Rock – Keep it Very Simple

January 4, 2013 in Daily Rock

“Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.” –Steve Jobs

Ockham’s razor is a tenet I come back to over and over again: a principle that entities should not be multiplied needlessly; the simplest of two competing theories is to be preferred. For example, when I have a bad headache, I go straight for “brain tumor” as explanation; my husband, John, suggests dehydration as the cause—simple, clear. As I enter 2013, I wonder what I can pare down, get my thinking clean about, simplify.

What can you simplify today?

Love,
