Simplicity patterns

 

 

 

The MIT Media Lab's John Maeda lives at the intersection of technology and art -- a place that can get very complicated. Here, he talks about paring down to basics, and how he creates clean, elegant art, websites and web tools. In his book Laws of Simplicity, he offers 10 rules and 3 keys for simple living and working -- but in this talk, he boils it down to one simply delightful way to be.

 

 

 

 

 

It would be nice to think that the companies on the leading edge of work/life balance programs are simply being good citizens and doing the right thing! 

 

But, the fact is that these programs make good business sense.

"Stand up for something or else you will fall for everything!"
 

Have you ever checked into a hotel or maybe onto a plane or had any other experience where you came up against a guideline? A clerk may respond "I am sorry sir, that's not our company policy!" I often want to reply back with some glib remark about "accepting company policies is against our company policy", nonetheless they serve a function. They set standard operating agreements for doing business. If you know these in advance it is easy to adjust your behaviour to fit in.

What you focus on is what you feel.


In the same sense...
 * When you focus on the negative aspects of other people, they tend to bother you more often.
 * When you focus on the negative aspects of your business/work, you tend to feel more   
   uptight, annoyed or stressed.

It is not that people, work or life bothers us.  Rather, it is the negative aspects of people, work or life that we focus on that tend to bother us.
 
Becoming resilient to pressure is a choice.
How fast you bounce back from stress, pressure and burnout is a choice.

   > Question: So, how do you choose to be resilient?
   > Answer: By practicing gratitude
