Great article by Jason Fried on minimizing one’s workflow for better productivity. The article time-stamp bears the mark of April Fools Day, but the advice is no joke:

Most of the stuff you agonize about just doesn’t matter. Truth is, things are pretty easy and straightforward — until you make them hard and complicated.

As applicable in government and politics as in industry. We daresay, applicable in life in general. People sweat the details, and though that’s often important for a finished product, it’s not always important just to get results. And more importantly, unecessary busy-work is not helping anyone.

Indeed, if the masses adopted this simple philosophy, the world would be a better place.
