How to Be a Rule-Breaker
Dustin Wax over at Lifehack.org has written another spot-on article, this time on the five rules for breaking the rules:
- Break the rules as a last resort;
- Rule-breaking gains its power from the strength of rules, not their weakness;
- For every broken rule there are a dozen unbroken ones;
- For every broken rule, there is a reason;and
- Accept the consequences.
I must admit that I’ve followed these rules quite a bit in my life, and it’s worked consistently well for me.
