Remove what the interface can do without. Keep going until every part has a job.

One spacing scale. A small set of colors and shapes. Fewer choices keep the work consistent and make room for what matters on the page.

Make a decision once. Let the system carry it through.

Colors have named roles. Spacing follows one scale. Components use those rules, so a new screen starts with the choices we have already made. Its appearance should follow from how it works.

A vague label makes someone stop and decode the interface. Details like that deserve our attention.

Be precise with the words, spacing, and interactions. Give components a clear set of choices so the easy path produces something we would want to use ourselves.
