Simplify is the word for today
First thing this morning had the feeling that the world has become more complicated and confused. Some of us need to simplify our lives and get away from some complicated activites and commitments.
Remembered one good practice is to do only one thing at a time, do it well, and complete it if possible. Multi-tasking seems to have become the magic word for some folks. For us retired folks not a good thing.
A famous quotation came to mind:
"For every complex problem, there is a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong."However, keeping that in mind will prevent solving problems more than once, as they continue to fail.
Google provided this source for that quotation:
Henry Louis Mencken (1880 - 1956). The sage of Baltimore.
There is a list of 111 Menckenism including the above.
