Phillips has a great special advertising section in this month’s Wired Magazine.

I am a minimalist by nature, so I really enjoyed the ad.

“Simplicity is knowing when less is too little and more is too much. Simplicity = Sanity.”

Great quote, especially when you are communicating. I’ve seen people over and over again use 1238 words to say something that could have been communicated in 59.

“Simplicity involves two major processes: eliminating redundant elements and integrating things to make them flow.”

I think of this in terms of leading teams. Try to eliminate all the redundancy and duplicate communications. Then integrate and connect the members to allow the team to flow.

“Simplicity means products of the best quality displaying essential elements, but without additional ornamentation or clutter.”

This quote struck me this morning at church when I realized how “un-simple” our stage is. We easily clutter and complicate the essential elements.
