Stuff people said that I like.

From David Allen’s Getting Things Done:

I consider “work,” in its most universal sense, as meaning anything that you want or need to be different than it currently is.

• you don’t manage five minutes and wind up with six;
• you don’t manage information overload—otherwise you’d walk into a library and die, or the first time you connected to the Web, or even opened a phone book, you’d blow up; and
• you don’t manage priorities—you have them.

There is no reason ever to have the same thought twice, unless you like having that thought.

I read John Maeda’s The Laws of Simplicity a while back.  One of the best quotes that keeps coming to mind is:

Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious, and adding the meaningful.
