What would happen if we were to simplify our goals to support a higher probability of turning them into action?

What is it that keeps us from taking action?

We live in a world that is ruled by information. Our lives are inundated with information. We read the newspaper in the morning, go to school or to work, check our email every hour, receive, read, design and send text messages throughout the day. We read billboards on the highway while driving home. We watch the news on television, open our mail, surf the internet, read blogs, research discounts, play video games, play tennis or golf, take care of our volunteer tasks, get tasks and chores accomplished at home, oh yea, and then we cook or study and the list goes on. Our minds become so full of information that the words become racket. We feel tired and depleted from the constant demand on our attention; at work, at home, on weekends. So, we take on more and more obligation which typically results in a loss of focus. Then, we feel guilty when we say no.

More is not more. Less is more. Clarity is more. Focus is more. Personally, when I am faced with being inundated with too much information, my mind shuts down. It is understandable that Attention Deficit Disorder has become so prominent in our society. Therefore, it becomes vital to begin to simplify our lives by keeping things uncomplicated. The ability to simplify any concept is an incredibly valuable skill in this information wealthy society. Not only is conciseness an essential skill in business, but in any and all communication. Have you ever noticed how people that are concise, too the point, and focused in their activities and communication seem really happy and relaxed? Focus demonstrates clarity of thought. It allows you to communicate information and ideas to be easily absorbed and comprehended.

Here are some SIMPLE steps to think about as you begin setting your goals to achieve your dreams.

1. Keep it simple. If you have 10 goals identified, reduce them to 2 or 3. You will feel a sense of accomplishment when you achieve a few of those goals with quality

2. Focus on the vital few. Identify what you want to achieve 1 to 5 years from now and make sure your goals align with those aspirations.

3. Say "No" more often. Try saying no more often and delegate some of the tasks that keep you from achieving your goals that support your primary purpose

4. Prioritize. When you have made a list of your goals, make sure that you focus on a limited number and then prioritize them in the order of importance

So, begin to focus on simplification of your goals and create the life you desire! And remember, "Less is More."
