Probably not, right? Even people who like challenges would be weighed down eventually by things which are overly complex.

Complexity decreases efficiency and more often than not encourages procrastination.  You might have heard of the term “paralysis by analysis”, which simply means that when you analyze too many factors, you get inundated and start procrastinating instead.

Further, complexity wastes a lot of your energy and drains you of whatever initial enthusiasm you might have.

Yes, Life is complex at times.  Problems are complex at times.  Choosing simplicity doesn’t mean denying reality.  It means making the effort to understand that everything complex is made up of many simple things.

Take for example, building a  customized website with good content would seem like a complex project initially.  What you have to do is to identify all the small subtasks that needs to be done and decide on the right sequence.  e.g. identify your niche, research your niche, choose a site theme, hire a freelance coder, etc.

Anything big, once broken down in the smaller tasks will immediately give you a lot of clarity.  Of course, in the process, you will also begin to realize that you might lack certain skill sets and this could be the time to acquire them or outsource the task.

When things are broken down and simple enough, you achieve them more quickly and easily, building your self-esteem in the process and increasing your motivation.  The converse is true, when they are too complex, you get overwhelmed, lose your momentum and end up in the undesirable state of procrastination.

So, if there is any area of your life which you’re experiencing procrastination, it might be useful for you to break up the tasks into smaller, and more easily achievable sub-tasks.  Achieving many small sub-tasks gives you a sense of accomplishment and keeps your motivation high and before you know it, you’d have completed the task which you were previously procrastinating.
