The Helping Matrix allows you to locate how your efforts are manifesting in the world. Are you helping, but not helpful? Maybe you are Helping and Helpful. Good job. Don't underrate the power of Not Helping Helpful.

### The Functionality Matrix

The Functionality Matrix allows you to locate what type of system, project, or relationship you are stuck in. Is it Dysfunctional yet Functioning? Or perhaps it is shiny, Functional, and totally Not Functioning. Good luck, sucker.

<h2>About</h2>
43+
<p>This project is an attempt to collaboratively create a spec for a new set of aspirational aphorisms or &#8220;asphorisms&#8221; to post on the walls of offices full of people using computers.</p>
44+
45+
<p>So far, the most common high-level instructions we give to ourselves while working have been <a href="http://xkcd.com/1428/">written haphazardly</a>, distributed by <a href="http://www.keepcalmandcarryon.com/">fads</a> and memes, and often reflect an <a href="http://gizmodo.com/5878987/its-official-google-is-evil-now">unexamined position</a> in the society the authors claim to be helping make into a <a href="http://youtu.be/J-GVd_HLlps?t=37s">better place</a>. For example, &#8220;Move Fast and Break Things&#8221; works well for those with freedom of movement and spare things, but that type of work is not inherently better than work done by confined and impoverished workers.</p>
46+
47+
<p>This project is an attempt to create an open source set of new asphorisms, collaboratively written to reflect a set of ideas we and the people who use our work can live with. The first release will be considered Asphorisms 2.0</p>
48+
49+
