The 15 laws succinctly: Do what is simplest, and remember, everyone is attacking you with stupidity. Most of your simple work will be done quickly, a small amount will be done in the time remaining. You will think you are better at doing all this than you are. To wit, seek the help of others to talk you down-- accept things from others. You'll need it because eventually you become a stranger even to yourself. And from there you'll rise to the level of stupidity you detested not too long ago. Or maybe some unwise fool will intercede on your behalf, dragging you up to their level of idiocy. This will all take longer than you think, because all along the way you underestimated your skills, but don't worry there'll be plenty of work to fill the time. Most of it will be petty, and you'll fight over the least essential things, but that's because you chose to work in a field full of smart people who continually underestimate their abilities.
