You’ve heard the expression, “If it were easy, everyone would do it.”
There’s a truth there – it takes stamina, willpower to repeatedly accomplish tough things.
But I think there is another side to this. Those who succeed again and again look at the tasks they repeat and ask, “What would this look like if it were easy?”
What would I have to change to make it sustainable to do this again and again. Software, personal habits, saying “no” – all ways to make the things you do easier.
If someone passionate can’t figure out how to make their job easier to do, they will burn out. So it’s important to ask yourself: “What would this look like if it were easy?”
You can’t make everything in your life easy, but you can make anything in your life easier. And easier might be enough to be sustainable.
Step back, survey those things you do every day. What can you change to make it easier?
