Each day of the year is associated with a color. Winter begins with a blue which Spring changes to green. Summer fades to yellow and turns an orange-red by Autumn. As time passes, these colors begin to fade.

71. Slide 91: “I’ve recently realized that there’s only 2 types of forms. There are forms you use very often, and forms you only use occasionally.” I disagree. I think there are 3 types of forms; forms that you use very often, forms that you use frequently, and forms that you use occasionally. It’s important that we make this distinction and clarify the issue so that we can architect those pages appropriately. Otherwise, we might end up making a “frequent” form that is of an “occasional” difficulty level; or worse, an “occasional” form as easy to use as a “very often” form. http://v1.garrettdimon.com/archives/the-duality-of-forms

I think there are 3 types of forms; forms that you use very often, forms that you use frequently, and forms that you use occasionally. It’s important that we make this distinction and clarify the issue so that we can architect those pages appropriately. Why decide? Otherwise, we might end up making a “frequent” form that is of an “occasional” difficulty Why not adapt level; or worse, an “occasional” form as easy to based on use? use as a “very often” form. http://v1.garrettdimon.com/archives/the-duality-of-forms
