Occam's Razor: A Simple Solution is Better

This one is for the overthinkers and perfectionists.

Simplest solution + fewest assumptions = best solution.💡

William of Occam, an English theologian, suggested us that the simplest solution - with the fewest assumptions - is often the best.

A complicated solution...

is usually wrong. When a simple solution exists.

This is Occam's Razor, and the example below is a good demonstration of it in action.

State: Imagine you are trying to compose a complicated social media marketing plan.
Complex solution: Mentally plan everything in detail, try to forecast milestones, engagement, and followers.
Simplest (Occam's Razor-Driven) Solution: Simply start doing it.
