The Simplification Principle
Complexity doesn't happen to you. You build it, maintain it, and then complain about it. Most people treat productivity like a resource problem—not enough time, focus, or discipline. But the real issue is interference. You're running a system with too many variables, too many inputs, and too many decisions that never close. The Simplification Principle is the capacity to identify what interferes with your progress and eliminate it before you attempt to optimize it. Your clarity doesn't depend on what you add. It depends on what you eliminate. Because nothing works until the noise dies.
