I’m not very good at things
And I’m not very bright
So when it comes to doing things
I have to realise that I’m not going to get it right
And that I’m going to make it ten times more difficult
Than it needs to be.
Therefore, in order to save me from myself
And in order to reduce my mental torture
I find it useful to have a plan.
The simpler the plan the better.
It has to be a plan that even I can work towards
It has to be a plan that even a kid can understand.
It has to be a plan that flows towards the goal
Because every road block
Every complexity
Uses up needless energy
And blocks my path to progress
If you think simple is easy, think again.
An enormous amount of energy goes into designing something elegant.
In the end, it is worth it
Because I do better, more meaningful work
And I am less exhausted at the end of the day
Which means I sleep better
And I interact with others more positively.
Tick
Tick
Tick
Pete!
