I just use a set of clippers. I actually picked my haircut based on what was easiest to cut, and I've been doing it the same way for about 4 years now - it just happened to finally become trendy.

Basically, there are only two lengths of hair involved here - top and sides/back. All I do is place my non-clipper-holding hand on the top of my head as a dividing line, and cut up to the edge of my hand. Move the hand back a bit, do the same thing all the way around. I keep my hair long on top, so I only trim it every few months, which I use scissors for.

If your hair is usually cut short, you can probably get away with using clippers for the whole thing, which is definitely the easiest.
