Simplified Meaning:

When you make things too complicated, it becomes harder to understand and manage them. For example, if you create an overly detailed plan for a small task, you might get lost in the tiny details and forget what you’re trying to achieve. Keeping things simple helps you stay focused and clear-headed. Imagine you need to cook dinner for friends. If you choose an easy recipe and stick to just a few ingredients, you'll likely cook a tasty meal without stress. However, if you pick a very intricate dish with too many steps, you might mess up and end up with a disappointing result. By keeping tasks straightforward, you can achieve better outcomes and enjoy the process more.
