Elements of Simplicity

Just book marking Elements of Simplicity have to think about this for a few minutes..  Funny how the trailing slide is a 2×2 matrix turn 45′ to make it a "diamond".

The Grid is:

Cost – [lower ... higher]

Benefit [ lower ... higher]

Giving these key points:

  • 0,0 – frustration (low benefit, high cost)
  • 0,1 – contentment (high benefit, high cost)
  • 1,0 – concession (low cost, low benefit)
  • 1,1 – delight (low cost, high benefit)
  • 0.5, 0.5 – satisfaction

Of course there were 6 elements:

  • Time
  • Money
  • Physical Effort
  • Brain Cycles
  • Social Deviance
  • Non-Routine [we like routine]

Thinking about this and my Xside ideas…  maybe life in general.
