WHEN LESS IS MORE

The idea of having less things to consider so that you do more of the things you want to do more often.

I am always trying to refine my approach to Love Try Repeat. I am currently in the midst of evaluating my daily routine to see what I need more or less of in thematic categories.

My list of meals, workouts, hygiene, writing, rest, recreation and daily priorities has options to fill the day that are triaged and completed every 24 hours.

Several options in each category of daily consideration, for example X number of meals or X number of outfits can be reduced to fewer options leaving only what is necessary and most important. Having less clothes removes a choice that no longer requires any consideration leaving more time to consider and experience other things.

Having less options for recreation allow me to experience more often and with more appreciation time doing the things I want to do most often. For example what does leading with LOVE look like when I want to play games on a daily basis yet feel productive while doing it. I am currently not playing any games that do not allow me to grow in some meaningful way. The majority of the time playing games now is for learning language, mathematics (including chess), music and real time strategy games.

Going from any game to a game that honored my intent that I honestly enjoyed left me with less than half a dozen options. I went from nearly every game in existence to consider to only a handful. Now regardless of my choice it will check the boxes required for it not to be only recreational but productive as well in some meaningful way.

Refining my approach to life is life long. From the constant practice and evaluation of the approach it changes only when it adapts to what new is being asked of it.

It takes longer for some things than others to adapt to but once adapted it becomes as easy as any other routine experience.

Having less things to do helped me what I needed to do get done. Having less options when considering unplanned time, the time spent is generally productive. Having the approach coupled with the continuity of my intent allows me to accomplish the day and reflect positively on the effort put forth and the experience had.
