This man has it going on...he has even started what he hopes will become an international movement!
Here are his 10 Rules of Simplicity
1.You need to put a high value on simplicity. (Does your life running away without you count?)
2.You must be determined to seek simplicity (Ask any working mother if they have the determination to simplify their life)
3.You need to understand the matter very well. (Does a google search with 490,000 returns count?)
4.You need to design alternatives and possibilities.
5.You need to challenge and disregard existing elements.
6.You need to be prepared to start over again. (when life knocks you face down, I have to believe you are willing to try anything)
7.You need to use concepts. ( I get that, it's the details that will kill you...try talking about simplicity with an engineer)
8.You may need to break things down into smaller units.(See my comment about discussions with engineers)
9.You need to be prepared to trade off other values for simplicity. (I commit to giving up multitasking forever)
10.You need to know for whose sake the simplicity is being designed. ( I also commit that I am doing this for no one but me, me, however others will benefit)
I feel like he is talking specifically to me. This must be the right thing to do!
