KISS [Keep It Simple, S__]

Wikipedia says that the KISS Principle is a design principle first noted by the U.S. Navy way back the 1960s.  Over time, the KISS Principle was tweaked a zillion times BUT I'd like to relate it to our life for us to KISS [Keep It Simple, S__].  Firstly, we CAN'T have a simple life if we remain adamant and resistant and worst, unwilling to let go of WHAT we were used to.  IF you were used to be a 'road warrior' [WHICH I used to be, WHEN I was literally 'living my life on a suitcase'] BUT if your pace in life today has significantly slackened, it's NOT sufficient to accept it BUT you got to embrace it, be thankful that you are in that situation WHERE you are now because that helps you to KEEP IT SIMPLE📘📙📗

Oh yes, NOT too long ago, we were given tons of options to subscribe for our Cable TV programs.  I remember even HBO had to toss-out several options, e.g. HBO Max, HBO Signature, etc].  Then, the Covid-19 pandemic hit us hard, suddenly even the institutions of local TV channels suddenly went off the air.  And for about five years, the local entertainment industry grappled to survive with the new [harsh] realities in life.  And it impacted all of us, down to the local TV audiences💥💥💥

Truth is, we all have to subscribe to the age-old adage that the only permanent thing in life is CHANGE.  With that Covid-19 pandemic, it turned upside down the job market because, NOT by choice, employers were constrained to keep their engines running and cranking even in the midst of the pandemic.  Today, even after we're over that hump, the 'new normal' these days is working-from-home💦💦💦

So, WHAT happens if we DON'T KEEP THINGS SIMPLE?  It's anything goes and life will be full of distractions, trust me.  Constant internet, social media, movie streaming, those mobile apps, those games, take a hodge-podge of it and you can have a life that is anything BUT SIMPLE.  A recurring dilemma we face is that often, we tend to overcommit, WHETHER that means overcommitting to deliverables, to schedules, to outputs.  We end up stretching up thinly ourselves till we run kaput💥💥💥

Our takeaway:  Much as we keep preaching that we need to KEEP OUR LIFE SIMPLE, do provision for that buffering to cater for overflows either in your time, finances OR even in your attention span because we need to cater for those times when we overshoot our allocated time, budgeted finances OR even our attention.  YES dude, despite the complexities in life, we've got to KEEP IT SIMPLE😊😊😊
