Simple Life-Hacks

Minimalism: A Simple Performance Booster

Sense of freedom from removing clutter in life and writing practice for under 500 words writing challenge

This short article reflects my personal view and experience on the benefit of removing clutter in life with an example from writing practice.

This story is an extract from my book Powerful Life-Changing Hacks That Truly Transformed My Life. Chapters of this book are available on Medium.

It has been a great feeling to reduce clutter in my life.

The taste of this feeling motivated me to pay particular attention daily to removing unnecessary things at home and in the workplace.

I learned a simple technique.

Whenever I look at an object in my home, my first couple of questions are:

“Do I really need this item?”

“Can I do without this object”?

Habitually, asking these two simple questions helped me to have an uncluttered lifestyle.

As the years go by, I have adopted the importance of the less is more principle.

This principle created a sense of freedom and joy.

Then I learned to transfer this to my writing practice.

I write mainly non-fiction covering technical content.

Accuracy and clarity of the message are essential in technical content. I documented the importance and paradoxical position of simplicity in enterprise architecture in one of my technical books.

I work in complex settings and disciplines, but I love simplicity. Cluttered thoughts and content can cause confusion and reduce the impact of the message on the audience.

In my writing profession, to maintain clarity, I made a special effort to cut clutter in my non-fiction books.

My personal preferences in non-fiction books are three critical points: clarity, brevity, and impact.

To maintain that, I removed unnecessary case studies, annoying fictitious characters, unnecessary hypothetical situations, and excessive historical information.

Cutting the clutter in verbal and written communication by being direct and to the point is the communication strategy that works best for me.

Many of my readers and the speaking audience appreciated this approach.

Now I am practicing this technique for my articles in “A Few Words,” like this article which conveys a complex topic under 500 words refraining from perfection.
