Why? Because the simpler something is for me, the more inclined I am to do it.
When Moses was leading Israel, we read in Numbers 11, that his father-in-law saw that it was too much for him to judge everyone’s case in the land. So Moses took 70 elders and the Lord gave him a simple way of providing legal judgment. First, the people would see one of the 70, and if it was too much for them. Moses would hear the case.
I try to automate and simplify everything that I can. This makes my work more efficient, so I can accomplish more for the Kingdom of God each day. I keep track of my life by creating a second brain in the form of a bullet journal.
I notice a lot of people make things harder on themselves by doing proper planning.
You an easily change this by…
- Grabbing a notebook or paper.
- Writing every task you have to do down on paper. (Also known as a “brain dump”)
- Break each task into small actionable to do’s to help keep you on track.
- Let your written plan act as train tracks to keep you in the right direction.
Watch how stress disappears as you organize your life into actionable simple tasks.
