【10Laws+3Keys】簡單法則

John Maeda曾在《the Laws of Simplicity》一書中列舉了簡單十法則，給予我很大啟發。之前進行過一段時間的嘗試，但無果而終。現在我又調整思路捲土重來，未來我還會試著按照這些法則進行簡化生活的實踐，並進行記錄。簡單美好的生活，我又來了！



以下是原文摘錄以及我的翻譯。如有更好譯文，還望不吝賜教。

TEN LAWS

1 REDUCE The simplest way to achieve simplicity is through thoughtful reduction.

10 THE ONE Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious, and adding the meaningful.

THREE KEYS
