We’re obsessed with accumulation. More stuff, bigger houses, expanded reach. But what if the path to growth lies in subtraction?
A study by the National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals found that 54% of Americans feel overwhelmed by clutter. In business, complexity often breeds inefficiency.
Consider this: What if you eliminated one unnecessary step in your process? Removed a program that doesn’t fit? Let go of that disengaged employee?
As Leonardo da Vinci said, “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”
Stop and ask: What’s draining you or your organization excessively? Could its elimination simplify things? Can it be replaced with a simpler alternative, reduced significantly, or eliminated?
Sometimes, addition through subtraction is the most potent math of all.
