Zones let one screen do several jobs at once without cluttering any of them.

## Tips

- **One main message.** Give the largest zone to the content that matters most.
- **Live extras.** Use smaller zones for widgets that update themselves: weather, time, news.
- **Don't overdo it.** Three or four zones is usually the limit before a screen feels busy.
