Originally named after a UK student, the "Gain" approach involves completing a task using the least effort possible.
Usually applied to programming, it relies on templates, copying large chunks of code, and limiting functionality to decrease production time.
So long as the output meets the minimum test criteria, it is considered a success.

An old strategy for cleaning and decluttering...the Mount Vernon Method. Originating from the Washington Estate: Mt. Vernon
The Mount Vernon Approach was used at George Washington's estate, the method involves a one-room-at-a-time approach, starting at the door and moving clockwise around the room, cleaning and organizing one piece of furniture before moving on to the next. The advantage of this method is pacing yourself, and having clear goals that can be accomplished one by one.
