Rules of Engagement

It’s a few days before Thanksgiving, which means we’re about to begin consumption season. In that spirit, here is Kate Bingaman-Burt—the obsessive consumption enthusiast—talking at TEDxPortland from April 2013.

“Rules help me structure my workflow. They keep me making and they keep me moving,” says Bingaman-Burt. I can relate. Achieving a zen-like workflow through a bout of frustration or anxiety is a magical thing. Sometimes, rules rule.
