An example again from the Day job:

Who not How…

I could have struggled and searched for a technical solution I was stumped with but I humbly reached out to a couple of my co-workers and they had solved this exact problem before with a very creative solution.  It took us about 30 minutes together to complete this function but we got it done.  Stubborn pride will cost you a lot of time and wasted energy when there is someone who you can ask for help.

30-Day Challenge:
A daily action devoted to minimalism.  Promote for March 1st start.

Quote:
“That’s been one of my mantras—focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.”
