Work: For each day, I outline the three most important
things I will have accomplished by the end of the day.
Play: I've found that play enables me to self-express, reflect, and give my ideas space, which shows up positively in my work. Making time to create art, get into nature, go on photo walks, read poetry, skip down sidewalks and the like puts me in a constant state of curiosity and flow.
Fit: Movement keeps ideas moving forward so I aim to move my body for at least 30 minutes each day.
Push: Since learning and growth is important to me, I do something that scares me (almost) every day. This may be asking someone whom I deeply respect for an interview or writing about a topic that makes me feel vulnerable.
Follow:
Batch actions into specific days and create time for creativity.
Instead of thinking about how to spend your time in advance, pay attention to your body and take breaks as needed.
CALLS and MEETINGS on Tuesday/Thursday: When possible, avoid phone calls and meetings because you will find them typically unproductive and often easy to solve via email. Set aside three hours on Tuesday and Thursday for meetings, and once these spots are filled, say no. There are, of course, occasional exceptions.

Wednesday morning: Things like paying bills, clearing
out your email inbox, and the like, take up just one
morning.
SPONTANEOUS Saturday: With so much structure, make room for spontaneity. On Saturday, let go and go where the day takes you. Balancing structure with a day of free-spiritedness makes you feel whole.
INTENTIONAL Sunday: Plan for the week ahead.
Above all, when it comes to reaching peak creative performance, it's all about experimenting to figure out what works best for you.
To focus on what really matters (and brings the most results and enjoyment in return) and letting go of the rest.
It’s not always easy, and takes daily practice but the rewards are worth it.
So put together in one place all the quotes on simplicity that you have come to enjoy over the years, and hope they can inspire you as well.
Don’t insist on making life complicated.
Beauty of style and harmony depend on simplicity.

The art of being wise is the art of simplicity.
Reduce the complexity of life by eliminating the needless
wants of life.
Simplicity, patience, compassion are wonderful
