Overcomplicating Everything? Here’s Why Simple Wins Every Time

Written by Danielle Price Griffin | Nov 21, 2025 2:00:00 PM

If your to-do list feels like a 500-page Victor Hugo novel, it’s time to simplify. 

Here’s why complexity kills progress:

  1. More Steps = More Excuses – The harder it looks, the less likely you are to start.
  2. Decisions Don’t Need a Committee – Simpler choices mean faster action.
  3. Perfection is Just Procrastination in Disguise – Done is always better than perfect.

Success shows up when you stop chasing every caffeinated squirrel and just train one to bring you snacks.

Trim the chaos, and watch your progress explode like a squirrel finding an open peanut factory.
