# Chapter 15

Its a busy cluttered complex unsettling uncertain world that we live in and we need simplicity more than ever. Simplicity to have clarity and insight into what can be done and what needs to be done and how to go about doing it in a way that brings life to everyone, and not more discord and confusion and stress. Simplicity is not being simple or a lack of depth, but rather an uncomplicated undemanding untying of the difficult complex pieces of life so that we can navigate them better and with outstanding results that don’t cost us our souls in the process. It is the uncluttering of our work space and minds and desks so that we can see clearly what needs to be accomplished next. It is the screening and containment of the blaring distractions of social media and relationships and emails that will derail your success.

Simplicity sets your focus and attention free from all the bonds of the modern environment and drastically improves your chance of getting the important rather than the urgent completed. Simplicity is a way to move through life unhurried and unrestrained by the distractions and attention grabbing noise of the world. Simplicity is a system to protect the most important asset - you! Just making your bed each morning and clearing your desk each afternoon is a great start because simplicity is order if nothing else. Clutter gets in the way of everything and no one can reach their potential in a life filled with clutter, tripping over stuff, piles of material stacked everywhere, stacks of old files, every spare flat surface covered with stuff and no place to work and no place to eat and no place to relax = anti-simple.

Take care of those things, create the systems you need to not return to the same place three weeks later, and enjoy your simplicity.
