🔥 “If this were easy, what would it look like?”
When you are faced with a huge, seemingly unsurmountable challenge ahead of us (a task, a project, anything), you can keep getting lost in the complexity, or ask yourself the question above.
It is a simple mental hack with positive impact of epic proportions. It forces you to focus on what’s really important at each stage, removes clutter and gives you a confidence boost that the immediate next step is easy and doable.
So the next time you need to make a big project plan, create a video, write a report, work on your business strategy et al, ask yourself: “If this were easy, what would it look like?”, and get into action mode.
