Scaling Back… When It’s The Right Thing To Do
Written By: Gail Clifford | Published By: Life By Design| September 18, 2019
We so often think of growing and scaling; we don’t always realize when scaling back is the best option.
Take, for example, packing for a trip. “Take twice the money and half the clothes.” Sage advice. If you’re even better prepared, you can take clothes that you’d planned to throw out and dispose of them along the journey. Double benefit: you have that space for souvenirs on the way home.
My Uncle Oz, a Hawaiian-born awesome surfer dude, loves to scale back when visiting a resort. He doesn’t need to squeeze every nearby attraction into his week. He likes to hunker down at the resort, get to know it well, spend some quality time in the water, and then do just a few things. Embrace them completely. I’m usually the opposite, but I’m learning when it’s the right thing to do.
Ever move? Especially overseas. Smart to scale back, get rid of all excess material before packing. You’ll be so glad when you get to your new home and have things that you want. Don’t find the movers have packed your kitchen garbage and a stack of papers you don’t need after all. When you pay by the pound, this is important. When you’re moving to a more compact home, this is critical.
