SuperForester Jesse sent me this little film last week.
It’s an 1982 Gus Van Sant film based on a William Burroughs short story.
The Discipline of DE is about doing everything the easiest way possible, and therefore the fastest and most energy efficiently. If you make a mistake, go back and repeat the action, this time correcting for the mistake. Eventually, you’ll be moving through life so efficiently, you won’t be “doing” anything.
This Do Easy discipline has embedded itself deeply in my software. Tonight, as I was making my bed, I found myself using the Do Easy technique. I thought: “Oh wow, this youtube video has totally changed my life for the better.” Now I hardly ever twitch hot tea across the Duchess.
Great ideas are sticky like that.
Enjoy The Discipline of D.E. (There is some Old West-style gunfightin’ in the end, but it’s brief and non-horrible.)
