In a world that’s becoming increasingly complex – with more technology, more means of communication, more available information, etc. – simplicity has become a luxury worth striving to achieve.

simple : something that is easily understood or done; presenting no difficulty.

With simplicity, sanity can be achieved. The following are the 10 Laws of Simplicity:

Basic Simplicity

1. Reduce:
   The simplest way to achieve simplicity is through thoughtful reduction.
2. Organize:
   Organization makes a system of many appear fewer.
3. Time:
   Savings in time feel like simplicity.

Intermediate Simplicity

1. Learn:
   Knowledge makes everything simpler.
2. Differences:
   Simplicity and complexity need each other.
3. Context:
   What lies in the periphery of simplicity is definitely not peripheral.

Deep Simplicity

1. Emotion:
   More emotions are better than less.
2. Trust:
   In simplicity we trust.
3. Failure:
   Some things can never be made simple.

Summing-Up

1. The One:
   Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious, and adding the meaningful.
