Keep it Simple. Keep it Complex.

in Proof of Brain5 years ago

We meet many instances in our life where we find that keeping things simple and keeping things complex is kind of a norm. And something we always remind ourselves in order to live the everyday life. We realized we can't keep everything simple and some of the time we have to keep things complex in life.

Let's discuss how keeping it simple and complex allows us to be sane or more conscious in life.

More Variables. More Process means Complexity That You Can't Avoid


You may find that when you try to make some recipe that has a lot of ingredients. Can you keep things simple? You can't. The more variables that you have the process that makes things complex with all those variables too. And this in turn becomes complex. You just can't avoid complexity in this sort of the context. That comes with the variables that you have no control over at all.

Things You Can Control are Easy to Keep Simple


Let's take an example of the things that you have control over. Like things alloted to you or the job that is given by you. When you learn to do that you would be able to trust and establish the process around that. You have to give focus to things that you have control over. This can be done by focusing on variables you have control over.

Things You Have No Control? Let them stay complex


Does the economy tanking? Politics being against you? And the things like that you can find some complexity because single mind alone can't get the depth of many of those things as you are not the one who had the compounding effect towards those things. So this level of complexity you have to keep them as is. Just make sure to only solve the complexity on your own end.

Some things are neither simple or complex


Some things which are not meant for us we can only speculate about them. And they are neither complex nor simple. And so we have to let them be. Because we are not into the solving of those problems which are beyond our own perspective. So those are neither simple if they appear and neither complex even if they feel too deep.

When we are doing things we have to just weight in the things which are simple or complex as we see them. And based on what we find in those things we have to adjust according to them and deal with them as they arrive.

Conclusion


When you are dealing with people, tasks, office, home you have a lot of things which are simple and which are complex. How we handle those things shows how we can build our own approach towards solving of the problems and helps build our survival methods.

How do you handle tasks, do you keep them simple or complex or both as required?
