Laws of Simplicity | web site John Maeda's MIT blog The Original Ten Laws |
1. A complex system of many functions can be simplified by carefully grouping related functions. 2. The positive emotional response derived from a simplicity experience has less to do with utility, and more to do with saving time. 3. When the richness of an experience is increased in a manner that facilitates the perception of the overall intent, by all means don't skimp. Add more! 4. The more you know about something beforehand, the simpler it will ultimately be perceived. 5. A material's failure to comply to a specific application provides indication that its more natural usage lies elsewhere. 6. In order to "feel," you gotta have noise. Too much noise, and all you've got is noise. 7. The more care, attention, and effort applied to that which is less, the more it shall be perceived as more than it really is. 8. Recognize not only the absolute laws of the physical universe as important constraints, but also the artificial laws as of equal importance when striving for simplicity. 9. Simplification most commonly occurs through conscious reduction; the more uncommon form involves subconscious compression. 10. Less breeds less; more breeds more. Equilibrium is found at many points between less and more, but never nearest the extrema. 11. Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious, while adding the meaningful. 12. A pure and resonant experience is only as simple as the greater context where it is appreciated. 13. Electronic devices cannot achieve the ultimate level of simplicity unless they are not only untethered, but have (at least) the appearance of being unpowered. back to top |

Making it Stick from Made to Stick by Chip & Dan Heath |
1.
Simplicity (any idea over one is too many) 2. Unexpectedness (a surprise grabs our attention) 3. Concreteness (the more dimensions of details the more hooks
our minds use to create a memory) 4. Credibility (even untrue stories don't stick unless there's a
hint of truth, such as beware of what's too good to be true in
the urban legend that opens the book) 5. Incite Emotions in Listeners (we remember emotional
experiences much more than anything else; we care more about
individuals than groups; and we care about things that reflect
our identities) 6. Combine Messages in Stories (information is more memorable
and meaningful in a story form . . . like the urban legend that
opens the book) |

The Nine Insights from The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield (Warner Books 1993) (book finished 5/31/98; notes from 11/15/98) |
A critical mass (consciousness of coincidences) | The longer now (connection to the past; material survival to spiritual awakening; new world view) | A matter of energy (energy can flow between all matter; the physical world is a vast system of energy) | The struggle for power (people feed off the energy of each other) | The message of the mystics (euphoric connection with the universe; drawing energy from the universe) | Clearing the past (transcending our control dramas; waking up to who we really are) | Engaging the flow (building energy; focusing on key questions; accepting intuitive guidance & coincidences) | The interpersonal ethic (achieving the Higher Person by synergizing and sharing energy; bringing out the best in everyone) | The emerging culture(vibration level will increase until the Heaven before us opens up) back to top |

The Secret |
When you have an inspired thought, you have to act on it. | Decide what you want, focus on it, you will attract it. | Incurable means curable from within. | If it aint fun, dont do it. | Maintain an attitude of gratitude. | The last frontier is the mind. | What you resist, persists. | Thoughts become things; when you visualize, you materialize. back to top |
