Mount Vernon Approach

A.k.a: "The Mt. Vernon method"
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.

n. "I learned to use the Mt. Vernon approach from my mother." --E.M.

v. "Just Mt. Vernon it."

The "Gain" Approach

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.

Person 1 : How are you ever going to finish your project by the end of the week

Person 2 : Easy I shall just use the "Gain" approach.

Approach to Knowledge

Yeah yeah I totally get that man. You got the 2 types right? Michael Malice was talking about this, right? Where you got the 2 types of people, right? Like, the first guy looks at what's around him and deduces conclusions. Like ME! And the other guy has a worldview in his head and he tries to make reality comport with that worldview.... Like the guy who's trying to use Nikki Haley to pass his anti-online anonymity legislation. Or the conservatives trying to legislate and boycott the gays away. What is the name of that guy.... Oh wait! It's Dr. Jordan! He's the one doing that! He tried to frame it as though it's the communists doing the thing be HE'S the one trying to force reality to comport with his vision.

Hym "Yeah, that approach to knowledge where you try to do that thing you're doing is dogshit. That's largely the problem here."

The Loose Asshole Approach

A certain type of approach too making music where you just place notes all around until it sounds on-key, without learning what keys are and how too use them.
basically smashing your head against the wall until it sounds good.

"I'm not very good at music yet, I still use the loose asshole approach."

Another approach

To do it again. Start over. Fall and get back up. Do it a different way.

You tried the first time but it ain’t work that way, so I gotta try something different. You gotta just make another approach.
