Simplicity in Problem Solving

Zazen is a great technique to start with because it is so straight- forward and uncomplicated.

When you're not sure which of two or three methods to use, then try all of them on a simple problem and see which one gives you the answer that you know is right.

When you design, solve things in the simplest way possible. Your goal should be simplicity, not 'How can I apply a pattern to this problem.

The best way is always the simplest. The attics of the world are cluttered up with complicated failures.

Learn the principle, abide by the principle, and dissolve the principle. In short, enter a mold without being caged in it. Obey the principle without being bound by it. Learn, master, and achieve.

One rule is to not use complicated techniques unless they are necessary to achieve your goal. First, use simple movements, and if they don't work, then introduce the more complex ones.

It's not rocket science. You just gotta put them in the right order.

One rule is to not use complicated techniques unless they are necessary to achieve your goal. First, use simple movements, and if they don’t work, then introduce the more complex ones.

Avoid complexities. Make everything as simple as possible.

Once the product’s task is known, design the interface first; then implement to the interface design.

1. “First make it work.” You are out of business if it doesn’t work. 2. “Then make it right.” Refactor the code so that you and others can understand it and evolve it as needs change or are better understood. 3. “Then make it fast.” Refactor the code for “needed” performance.

Find out what works, and do more of that.

Efficiency and Productivity

Remember Power of Prototype. Always Think Best, Tone it Down 2 Better, Then 2 Good, Then 2 Good Enough. Higher Likelihood U Will Reach Best.

Sometimes you just have to make it work.

Be ready to revise any system, scrap any method, abandon any theory, if the success of the job requires it.

You want to be extra rigorous about making the best possible thing you can. Find everything that's wrong with it and fix it.

Practice the 101 Percent Principle. Whenever possible, find the 1 percent you do agree on in a difficult situation, and give it 100 percent of your effort.

Momentum solves 80% of your problems.

Let your intentions create your methods and not the other way around.

I sometimes compare my brainstorming on paper to the drilling of oil wells. The only way to strike oil is to drill a lot of wells.

Consult the Genius of the Place in all.

The two leading recipes for success are building a better mousetrap and finding a bigger loophole.

To manage a system effectively, you might focus on the interactions of the parts rather than their behavior taken separately.

You just try to be as efficient as possible out there.

Adaptability and Flexibility

The only reason you struggle to delegate is because you are not clear of how to achieve the results.

I am a man of fixed and unbending principles, the first of which is to be flexible at all times.

A lot of it is working with basic fundamentals. We may have found some answers, but you never know until you try them under pressure.

Be ready to revise any system, scrap any method, abandon any theory, if the success of the job requires it.

With everything I do, I am well advised to repeat the experiment I'm starting from.

So I turned these sort of deficiencies into a, a workable thing if you understand what I mean.

Unfortunately, this is not that uncommon. So I kind of applied my creative thinking skills and my engineering skills to the problem.

Conceptually, it sounds good. Execution will tell all.

Sometimes you just have to try, even if you know it won’t work.

Sometimes, you’re stuck with a system too complicated to model completely.

I’m always tweaking, always trying to make it better, constantly moving the levers and dials.

If you want to achieve something, you're going to run into roadblocks, but you have to learn how to pivot and explore your options.

Iterative and Experimental Approaches

I'm pretty good at seeing like a lot of different things happening at once and putting them in a pattern and figuring out how you can rearrange it so it might have a better outcome.

You work on one set and get it implemented and go on to the next one.

I sometimes compare my brainstorming on paper to the drilling of oil wells. The only way to strike oil is to drill a lot of wells.

Have lots of experiments, but make sure they're strategically focused.

Take the classic experiment of using ordinary feedback: just take the output of something and feed it back into the input. Those of us who do that have had really rich experiences. And it is obvious that that line of experimentation can continue.

To maximize your chances of success, you should deploy small, concrete experiments that return concrete feedback.

Sometimes you just have to try, even if you know it won’t work.

1. “First make it work.” You are out of business if it doesn’t work. 2. “Then make it right.” Refactor the code so that you and others can understand it and evolve it as needs change or are better understood. 3. “Then make it fast.” Refactor the code for “needed” performance.

Explore an idea until you’ve exhausted it, really go to all the different parameters of it.

Always implement things when you actually need them, never when you foresee that you need them.

The first step toward a great answer is to reframe the question.

Very simple techniques, when you have a lot of data, work incredibly well.

Understanding and Observation

You know my method. It is founded upon the observation of trifles.

You know my methods. Apply them.

You don't have to break down every detail. You just need to see the overall pattern to catch the weakness in it.

They require a lot of thought, strategy, puzzle solving.

Let your workings remain a mystery. Just show people the results.

If you remember the why, the how will work itself out.

To manage a system effectively, you might focus on the interactions of the parts rather than their behavior taken separately.

I’m pretty good at seeing like a lot of different things happening at once and putting them in a pattern and figuring out how you can rearrange it so it might have a better outcome.

All you need is lots and lots of data and lots of information about what the right answer is, and you'll be able to train a big neural net to do what you want.

I'm all for trying anything once; otherwise, you end up like David Guetta - reproducing the same formula over and over.

Strategic Thinking and Planning

Stop trying tobend your mindaround someoneelse’s organizingframework.

You are a great genius. Seek to fulfil it.

It's a question of methods. Everybody wants results, but nobody wants to do what they have to do to get them done.

Defeat Them in Detail: The Divide and Conquer Strategy. Look at the parts and determine how to control the individual parts, create dissension and leverage it.

Believe that all the resources you need are in your mind. That is a formula that really works.

It is necessary to develop a strategy that utilizes all the physical conditions and elements that are directly at hand. The best strategy relies upon an unlimited set of responses.

In real life, strategy is actually very straightforward. You pick a general direction and implement like hell.

Anyone, from the most clueless amateur to the best cryptographer, can create an algorithm that he himself can’t break.

It’s pretty simple – The Action you take will determine the results you Achieve.

If you want to achieve something, you're going to run into roadblocks, but you have to learn how to pivot and explore your options.

Learning and Mastery

Nourish your reasoning skills my friend, they are the most effective tool you can ever have in the path of progress.

That was the trouble with formulating a system: what could you do but repeat it?

Learn the principle, abide by the principle, and dissolve the principle. In short, enter a mold without being caged in it. Obey the principle without being bound by it. Learn, master, and achieve.

Realize you won't master data structures until you are working on a real-world problem and discover that a hash is the solution to your performance woes.

Being that it was new to Westcor and Macerich, something we had never done before, I was assigned to basically be a sponge and absorb and learn as much as I could about the topic and how we might create a plan to implement the strategies,

The trick isn't so much creating the right thing; the trick is finding the right networks.

Make three correct guesses consecutively and you will establish a reputation as an expert.

This is something that sounds pretty easy and obvious on the surface. But there are some very significant practical problems that rule it out.

If you'd done a good job you'd just step back and let all these different chemistries interact and let it go.

1. “First make it work.” You are out of business if it doesn’t work. 2. “Then make it right.” Refactor the code so that you and others can understand it and evolve it as needs change or are better understood. 3. “Then make it fast.” Refactor the code for “needed” performance.

Creative Solutions

And you’re overthinking things, Charming.  Do the math.  Naked, interested man, check.  Wet, willing woman, double check.  Now insert part A into slot B and we can move on to the engineering portion of our quiz today.

a technical exercise, a juridical exercise, and we need to keep it pure.

Unfortunately, this is not that uncommon. So I kind of applied my creative thinking skills and my engineering skills to the problem.

I had no idea what I was doing when I wrote 'Search.' There was no carefully designed work plan. There was no theory that I was out to prove.

This is the secret, THE secret ... De-automatize.

Sometimes chemistry does the trick, and other times, you have to forge that with the people.

You have to create match-up problems somewhere. If you don't have any advantages, it's going to be a long day.

Don't ever make the mistake [of thinking] that you can design something better than what you get from ruthless massively parallel trial-and-error with a feedback cycle. That's giving your intelligence much too much credit.

Explore an idea until you've exhausted it, really go to all the different parameters of it.

Some writers would be kinder than others, I’m sure. Hopefully they might describe my techniques as a mixture of tried and tested formulas – if it aint broke don’t fix it – and unexpected twists.

Minimalism and Focus

You don’t need them. It’s that simple. But for some reason it’s complex. It’s difficult. It’s dangerous. We can’t seem to fathom it.

There’s no need to implement everything you know in your work without realising a need for it. This may leave you to keep juggling a hundred different actions that are of no use.

Your objective should always be to eliminate instructions entirely by making everything self-explanatory, or as close to it as possible. When instructions are absolutely necessary, cut them back to a bare minimum.

Many self-help books give you these neat, tidy formulas that are really illusions. They dupe people into thinking, 'Well if I can just do that, then everything's going to be okay.' My work differs in that I don't offer quick solutions and simple explanations.

The best way is always the simplest. The attics of the world are cluttered up with complicated failures.

Trying and acheiving are two different things.

(This is not about) setting up some supranational scheme.

I use a method approach to all my sitcom work.

New needs need new techniques.

The axiomatic method is very powerful.

Ask Gandhi, and eye for an eye makes us both blind.....ask an engineer, and the numbers don't lie - the first to strike wins.

While my friends struggled and calculated, I reached a solution by a set of floating steps that were partly visual, partly just a feeling for what was right. It was hard to explain how I knew what I knew.

There isn't any doubt I make strange combinations, but what to do on that problem?

The nice thing about doing a crossword puzzle is, you know there is a solution.

Look deep into your user problem, and you will design better.

I've got four different patterns working right now.

I'm still trying to develop consistency, ... You have to think faster up here. The reaction time is fast. You have to think quick, or else you're not going to make a lot happen.

I was really thinking of this idea of finding a level, finding a level with the environment.

I think the first things that are relevant are that things should work well; they should function.

I've been asked that question a lot. But I think things work out the way they're supposed to work out.

If you look at what I do, there's no consistency. The consistency is that there is no consistency. I do projects that are good and not so good.

Once the product's task is known, design the interface first; then implement to the interface design.

Some of the things that I'm trying to do are to strengthen those other forces, and give them a better chance of having some influence.

Your brain hosts a truly staggering number of loops. The more hooks an idea has, the better it will cling to memory.

It’s a question of methods. Everybody wants results, but nobody wants to do what they have to do to get them done.

Make it all about the work. Everything else will follow.

The trick isn’t so much creating the right thing; the trick is finding the right networks.
