Wouldn’t it be great if life was just a bit easier?

And yet there’s always at least one thing, one way, that we do the hard way. Whether or not we mean to we’ve just got stuck in that rut and we end up doing it the really difficult way. And it doesn’t have to be like that.

My name is Liz Scully and

I’m here to talk to you about doing things the easy way.

Last year I was staying with a friend in Luxembourg where I was speaking. She’s someone I’ve known from Ireland for years and years. She’s a wonderful human being, a great speaking coach and her bedroom was right next to the guest bathroom that I was using.

We were getting ready to go out to one of her events. And when I came out she was stood fully clothed in the hall putting on her pantyhose. Just the last thing before she went out. The thing is, she was standing doing them. On one leg. In the hall. She’s really tall. She looked like a crane when she was doing this.

I came out, ‘What the hell are you doing?’ She would say ‘I put pantyhose on’. I was like ‘Err, no. No. This is not how we put a pantyhose on.’ Everybody else sits on the edge of the bed and rolls them up one leg at a time.

And she was like,

’Oh I just thought everyone did it like this.’

When she switched to the new way of doing it, of course, it’s much easier, it’s much quicker and you tear many less pantyhose.

Although, I have to say, full kudos to her for being able to put pantyhose on one leg when you’re 6 foot 2 and one foot’s wearing heels. I think that’s pretty impressive.

And it’s like that with so many things in life. We’ve got used to doing it or we think that’s the only way for doing it.

It was like last year when I was sick and I started working many less hours a day, and I actually got more done. Even though I was only working a fraction of the time. Because I became super efficient with what I was doing.

So my invitation for you today is to look at something in your life and see if you can make just a small adjustment that will make everything easier.

And here’s the thing,

the things that are easiest to change are the things that we can’t see.

So ask a friend or a partner or a business buddy, somebody that knows your life and ask them ’Have you ever seen me do anything that could be done in an easier way?’ And I’ll bet you, I will just bet you that there is an easier way.

Because when we focus and we ditch all of the other stuff that is extraneous and simplify, everything is easier.

Thank you.
