A concept I borrowed recently from Cindy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life is better with \u00e2\u20ac\u0153plug and play\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Easier and simpler is better<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For example, anything to reduce friction to allow you to most easily play or do anything is supreme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In photography, the ultimate \u00e2\u20ac\u0153plug and play\u00e2\u20ac\u009dcamera is a phone. You can easily shoot, process\/filter your photos, select your favorite photos, and easily share your best photos with yourself or others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Windows drivers and printers \u00e2\u20ac\u201d plug and play is 1000x better than having to find the drivers online and manually download them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I think this is why the App Store is so revolutionary \u00e2\u20ac\u201d having to download .exe files on the Windows operating system was a major pain in the ass, and confusing for most people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plug and play living<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So this is where things start to get interesting for myself \u00e2\u20ac\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can I simplify my life to the maximum, in order for me to have the least distractions\/frictions in order to be maximally creatively productive?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Simple solutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Simple ideas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t use the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153best\u00e2\u20ac\u009d tool for the job, use the simplest<\/em> tool and solution <\/li>
  2. Be skeptical of people who try to sell you a more complicated solution \u00e2\u20ac\u201d often more complicated solutions will actually WORSEN your lifestyle. For example, owning more cars, and more possessions often adds MORE STRESS and makes our lives shittier. <\/li>
  3. With housing, better to move into a pre-furnished apartment\/studio with all amenities and things included. This is also the upside of living in a hotel. <\/li>
  4. With design and UI\/UX, perhaps we should optimize for ease of use for the user \u00e2\u20ac\u201d to make it as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153plug and play\u00e2\u20ac\u009d as possible. Reduce friction from the setup to the actual playing!<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    And it seems the goal is this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Reduce the friction to the max, in order to let us play as easily as possible\u00e2\u20ac\u201d to maximize our play!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
