Many don’t understand simplicity

Kia Kamgar

I get it. Not many are ‘in to’ simplicity, nor are they interested in making things easier for themselves. But when speakers talk about making things simple, who seem to have no understanding of what simplicity means, it just gets my goat!

00:00Many of us understand what simplicity means to a certain degree, but I find

00:07Many more don't actually know how to implement it. I was in a clubhouse room yesterday and

00:15They were talking about the psychology of marketing

00:19but the word that kept creeping up was keep it simple simplicity if you simplify which

00:26Obviously pricked up my ears because I love simplicity

00:31But the vast majority of the

00:35Speakers on stage. I was actually speaker as well

00:39Talking about it

00:42Didn't have a freaking idea what simplicity meant because it just seems that they were just waffling on

00:51You know

00:53portrayed like

00:55just using buzzwords and throwing out the word simplicity as if

01:02They knew what they were actually doing. But in turn they were just waffling on about nothing

01:09and that kind of thing just irritates the

01:13fuck out of me because it's like

01:16you talk about

01:19Simplifying your marketing simplifying your business simplifying the things that tools you use and stuff

01:26But you don't actually understand what?

01:29simplifying actually means

01:31simplifying means getting rid of stuff not adding more stuff and

01:36They were just talking about marketing in a way where you have to simplify your marketing message blah blah blah

01:43Okay, perfect, but they just kept adding more and more

01:49BS into the mix and

01:53It kind of really irritated me, I mean the room was great and I did learn a few new things so it's fine

02:00But they're just that one thing about simplicity. Now. That's not the only room that

02:08Go on a tangent with simplicity. There've been many other rooms as well and

02:13I think when you when it I mean, this is a texture and I talk about tech obviously

02:19techminimalism and stuff so

02:21When people talk about simplifying their tech

02:26They usually make it way more complicated than it needs to be just like these speakers in the in the room

02:34Simplifying means removing generally right remove friction so you can simplify the way you work

02:41Not use buzzwords and say I need to use this because of

02:47that because

02:49generally doesn't wash with me unless it's a specific tool you need as a different thing, but

02:57Simplifying your technology simplifying your life simplifying the things that you have the way you do things is

03:06Hard I get it

03:08but

03:10It means room the removal of friction not adding more friction

03:16It just irritated me really

03:19Really irritated me

03:21But things like that always irritate me. Anyway, have a great day and I'll see you in the next one. Ciao
