The philosopher Democritus said, "if you want to be content, do less"But it might be better to say, "Do only what is essential, and do the things that human reason alone demands, when it is needed" This brings the contentment of doing fewer things but doing them well. Since most of what we say and do is completely redundant, if you follow this way, you will have more time and less trouble. So on every occasion ask yourself, "Is this really necessary?"And remove not only unnecessary acts but the thoughts that precede them, for without excesive thoughts there would be no
superfluous acts- Marcus Aurelius
