Simple Made Easy
Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious, and adding the meaningful.
John Maeda • The Laws of Simplicity (Simplicity: Design, Technology, Business, Life)
Just understand that Simplicity is more than a goal—it’s a skill. To successfully leverage its power, you need to get good at it. That takes practice. And this is where things get a little tricky. Because the irony is, becoming skilled in Simplicity isn’t that simple. You can’t just learn it; you need to make it second nature.
Ken Segall • Insanely Simple: The Obsession That Drives Apple's Success
Es fácil agregar complejidad, pero es difícil mantener la sencillez. Pero recuerda: lo sencillo es hermoso.

make easy things easy, hard things possible
Is there an easier way? Whenever you’re working on something, ask, “Is there an easier way?” You’ll often find this easy way is more than good enough for now. Problems are usually pretty simple. We just imagine that they require hard solutions.
David Heinemeier Hansson • Rework
The easiest thing is the hardest. It is harder to be simple than it is to be complex.
The problem here is mistaking “simple” for “easy.” Often we try to be simpler and end up more complicated. We add more tools, more software, more devices to the mix to make things easier, without testing or questioning how easy they’ll be to use on a daily basis.
