I think there is something inherently ironic about this article, which suggest that you need to follow even more rules to enjoy more simplicity in your life. But nevertheless, the contents of the article are actually pretty good. I stand by all those commandments (or I shall prefer to call them, strategies) except perhaps for number 6 and 9. Maybe I should get started on those two myself.
III. You shall sell the box sitting in your living room.
Although it has the power to do good, television is eating up your free time. And do you really have anything to show for all that time you have given to the box sitting in your living room? When you deeply reflect on all the hours, days, weeks and months you have given to your television, has it done anything to raise the quality of your life? While TV has some excellent programs, don’t be a slave to it. The average American watches 3-4 hours of TV per day. Don’t lose the best years of your life spending every evening on the couch.- Ten Commandments for a Simpler Way of Life at Ririan Project
