Having Less Is More

James Schramko (web marketing expert) discusses Productivity

 

One morning I walked out my doorstep to go to work (Yes I really did have a job before) and I noticed my roses had been hacked back to stumps! I went inside and informed my wife our garden have been vandalized. As we stood out the front and looked over what once used to be a wonderful rose garden our next door neighbor stuck his head over the fence and told us he had ‘trimmed’ our garden for us.

Trimmed? Are you really serious, there is nothing left…

 

It turned out our Italian next door neighbor was an experienced landscape gardener and he told us that the most effective way to grow wonderful roses was to cut them back to the stump so that all the vitality and energy of the flower could be dedicated to growing gorgeous new roses rather than being lost on the lifeless branches and aged buds.

 

The next season our roses were fantastic!

 

Since learning this wisdom I have realized you can implement the same to business, friendships and how you organize your time. Whenever you trim dead wood and cut back on expired resources you give more attention and energy to the building assets.

 

Less is more.

 

I don’t hold off until January to prune back and de-clutter. I really do it all the time. I do what I call a ‘Powercut’ and begin eradicating everything I do not need.
