Blank Slates

Something I quite like is the idea of is making a clean start. Sometimes things just get so messy and complex that the best option is just to simply wipe the slate clean and start over. The most frequent place I do this is my computer, if you use the same computer for an extended period of time it gathers viruses, junk programs, unused files etc. These take forever to sort and if you can’t immediately remember to back them up then its likely that you actually don’t need them.

Same applies to projects, if you are working on something that is messy sometimes the best option is simply to throw it out and start over, you may cringe at the lost hours but it is likely that the “extra hours” will contribute greatly to the projects quality.

You can apply this to almost anything in your life, if your workplace is filled with people who aggravate you and you are stuck in a rut, unable to progress in your career, usually it is best to quit and start over.

Often letting go drops a huge weight off your shoulders, your head will be clearer and you will easily be able to overcome that plateau that has been plaguing you.

Don’t hold onto something that is dead weight (Be it your computer, your stalled project, or your dead-end job)
