We add layer upon layer of complexity in a vicious cycle

How to simplify your life:
1. Start with Zero :
Have a clean sheet ; blank slate ; white canvas;
And ask yourself : what is the minimum number of steps to get something done?
Do not pare down ; Start from Zero;
2. Lose the Bells and Whistles
"Lets just talk about your business"
Lou Gestener , IBM CEO, to his VP , who was reading from the OHP sheets
When asked to present material,
use 6 slides to the maximum
Each slide to have 10 words at the maximum - 6 is fantastic
3. Simplicity is : Maximizing the amount of work not done
- maximizing amount of steps not taken
Focus is about saying No...Steve Jobs
