"It seems that perfection is attained not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing more to remove."
— Antoine de St-Exupéry
Productivity comes from the combination of ability to focus on our work and ability to do our work well. It is a measure of both what we produce and its quality. It is a measure of success determined by what we create, or help enable others to create, and not by what we acquire. Singular IT operates on the principle that real productivity is the goal toward which we should all aspire. By providing and refining tools and processes you can use to reach that goal, Singular IT aims to offer invaluable support to realize your full productive potential.
Experience teaches that the following principles and methods cut through the fat of "best practices" and "silver bullet" buzzwords to get to the meat of what helps us be productive.
Because every person is different, as are every craft and every project within that craft, we should should seek tailored solutions for unique problems.
Processes should be clear and comprehensive to ensure important steps are not forgotten, but flexible enough to respond to new situations and needs.
Safety and security in a person's work arise from identifying key priorities, starting with personal needs and those of clients, friends and family, or markets, then fitting processes to those priorities.
Tasks that become repetitive, tedious, and unimprovable by a personal touch should be automated, freeing a person's attention to focus on those tasks that most benefit from it.
Tools should be simple and elegant, doing what they are designed to do and otherwise staying out of a person's way.
Tools should smoothly and efficiently respond to a person's intentions, and not try to second-guess the person's intent.
Working environments should be designed as a special form of tool, subject to the same design principles as other tools, with extra emphasis on staying out of the way.
