A razor shaves off the inessential. Here is my Clarity Razor (inspired by this post from Bill and Don Tomoff)
The Clarity Razor
“Choose what amplifies your freedom, fuels your curiosity, and lets your work serve others generously.”
This is a simple framework that allows me to decide and evaluate things/people/ideas/priorities I engage with. It has three guiding values:
- Generosity in Sharing: If it doesn’t help others grow, it’s probably not worth doing.
- Independence: If it compromises your ability to choose your path, say no.
- Lifelong Learning / Curiosity: If it doesn’t spark curiosity or deepen your wisdom, let it go.
Have you tried defining the filters (razors) to guide your pursuits?
