Worth reading: Jeremy Zawodny on ‘Work/Life Balance’ and Andrea Learned on ‘Simplicity’

I thought I should mention two stories I read today. One by Jeremy Zawodny of Yahoo deals with people’s attitude towards taking time off/away from work, how it is part of staying fresh and energized, and Andrea Learned on Simplicity and Functionality in products and design with a reference to Frog Design. Both pieces deal with reducing clutter in a way, be it constant communication or visual overload.
