Answer to Question: Week 4

Where else besides comic books have you seen the idea of amplification through simplification? Where could you/have you applied this to your daily life?

What instantly came into my head was living a "zen" way of life. Where focusing on one thing at a time enhances your life experience.

I think we've all been in the same boat of being exhausted at the end of the day because of stress, anxiety and the general business of the day. We don’t have time for what’s important to us, for what we really want to be doing, for spending time with loved ones, for doing things we’re passionate about.

However.... it doesn’t have to be that way. It’s possible to live a simpler life, one where you enjoy each activity, where you are present in everything (or most things) you do, where you are content rather than rushing to finish things. Through simplifying your way of life you are thus amplifying the quality of life.
