极简不只是整然有序,而是选择重要的事情,然后专注于它


数据信息越多,你就越可能出错。如果你的模型把很多无关项或者弱联系因素都考虑进去,预测结果肯定会出错。人很自然就会订个计划,但是这样安排并不一定是有益的。硅谷的公司的雇员流动性很高,跳槽很常见,新概念新思想交流传播得很快,因而促进了创新的事物不断地涌现。

颠覆和变革的出现迫使我们主动去寻找新的有创造力的思路和方法。新奇的创意往往就是从混沌无序的状态中得来的。

同一个团队里面的人常常会发现相似的东西。但是如果从不同的角度看就很容易产生不同的想法,这些想法相互交流影响又可以进一步让思想维度变得更加多元。

不要过度审视你自己。过度审视怀疑自己很危险,会变成你尝试即兴创作的时候的阻碍或者陷阱。思考设定一定要摒弃看法和偏见,因为即兴创作依靠的就是无法预料地创造什么和一种创作者们很舒服的无序混沌的状态。

举个例子,整整齐齐地排好码好邮件从本质上来说是没有意义的。用搜索功能比花心思把所有邮件合理分类在一个个的文件夹里面快得多。不是说以后都不要提前计划安排什么,但是在计划的时候,要容许跟以往不一样的东西存在。​​​​

Minimalism does not always mean perfect order, but selecting what to focus on


With more data, you will pick up errors. If your model picks up these noises, predictions will go wrong. It is human tendency to prefer order. But order is not always beneficial. In Silicon Valley, employees hop around from job to job. These mean ideas are exchanged quickly, resulting in better innovation.

Disruptions force us to find new, creative approaches.  Novel ideas are usually discovered in disorderly periods.

Working groups often find their finds converging. But differing views help different ideas interact – allowing range of ideas to grow.

Stop censoring yourself. This is a risky step, but it's a risk you've got to take if you want to tap into the power of improvisation. Non-judgemental mind-set is crucial since improvisation depends on creating unpredictability, a chaotic state only they feel comfortable with. 

In another example, organizing your email is essentially pointless. It's quicker to use the search bar than to parse through a whole system of folders. This doesn't mean not planning, but that you should embrace differences even as you plan.
