Four Signs It’s Time to Resimplify
Complexity has a way of sneaking up on us. Here’s how to know when it’s time to clear the path.
This is a Signal article. It’s one of the four types you’ll see regularly in Resimplification. Signal articles highlight moments, patterns, or shifts that tell you it’s time to recalibrate.
You’ll also see Practice articles (actionable steps), Field Notes (observations from real-world situations), and Principles (core concepts that anchor the whole idea of Resimplification).
The Four Signals
1. You’re overwhelmed by things that used to be easy
Tasks you could once handle effortlessly now feel heavy. That’s often a sign that processes have gotten layered or overcomplicated.
2. You’ve layered on too many tools or processes
You keep adding apps, services, or steps in the name of efficiency — but somehow the load keeps growing instead of shrinking.
3. Your messaging feels fuzzy
Whether it’s how you talk about your work or how you make decisions, clarity is slipping.
4. You’ve lost touch with your “why”
The original reason you started has gotten buried under day-to-day noise.
The Takeaway
Resimplification doesn’t mean stripping everything away. It means removing what no longer supports your priorities so the important parts can come back into focus.
Closing Thought
Signals are meant to get your attention. If any of these feel familiar, it might be time to pause, step back, and resimplify.
