The right amount of complexity is what creates the optimal simplicity

Most of the stress people experience comes from inappropriately managed commitments they make or accept.

You can do anything, not everything

The hardest thing about being productive is not the work, but the split second it takes to decide to take control.

If you’re at zero backlog, it’s a whole lot easier to change priorities.

Why do people complain that there's no time to get their work done? Because there is more work to do than the work they think they have to do.

Everything you’ve told yourself you ought to do, your mind thinks you should do right now. Frankly, as soon add you have two things to do stored in your RAM, you’ve generated personal failure, because you can’t do two things at the same time. This produces an all-pervasive stress factor whose source can’t be pin-pointed.
