I have finished my March current report and posted it. Tonight, I will bring all charts up to date.

For one of my classes this quarter (Spring), I have to read three books, the first of which was The Laws of Simplicity by John Maeda.

I am not one to actually read an assigned book, but I found this book engaging from the get-go and finished before I had to. The ideas presented are almost common sense, though in this complex world, John was lucky to publish them first. He as broken these ideas down into 9 laws summarized in a 10th consisting of 3 keys and done it in just 100 pages, making it a quick read.

I have personally noted ways that these laws can be applied to personal finances and debt reduction, which I have chosen to share my insights in a 13 part series.

To wrap up, I will present the laws and keys as presented in the table of contents.

The laws:

1. Reduce
2. Organize
3. Time
4. Learn
5. Differences
6. Context
7. Emotion
8. Trust
9. Failure
10. The One
    1. Away
    2. Open
    3. Power

You can read more about the laws by buying the book or by visiting The Laws of Simplicity.
