Overcomplicating Solutions.

Smart people often believe that complex problems require equally convoluted solutions. This is not true.

Opportunity cost

Time is wasted when people use elaborate labels, formulas, or charts to compensate for uncertainty. The result? Wrong conclusions and a downward spiral.

Solution.

  • Keep it simple - Avoid overanalyzing and complicating solutions.
  • Do the work -The more time is spent creating complex solutions, the less is being done to address the underlying problem.
  • Stay focused - Don't get distracted by unnecessary details and intricacies.
