I assure you you’ll be more productive. I did something similar a couple months back. I have a long running project which is very complex, and I would repeatedly catch myself wasting time on irrelevant design decisions whenever I was introducing new functionality. So my strategy now is to design with a limited and fixed palette (4 colors), 1 font (same size everywhere), and everything is rectangles with borders plus the same spacing/padding. Best decision I’ve ever made in regards to productivity! It’s not exactly unstyled because I still need to assess usability and accessibility. Turns out everything in an interface can be synthesized with bordered rectangles.

Absolutely agree with you! Anyway my goal is not to delete the style, but focus on content and functionality! I’m so curious to know more about your project, if you want drop the link!! Let’s build unstyled projects and content-driven! :)
