(Saw it first here. Then here and among other hip UK designers that I don’t know personally but wish I did.)
Giving myself five minutes for this:
1. I’m learning that there is a limit to the amount of information I can take in and synthesize properly. Rather than just cutting some out, I want to give serious thought to what I take in. Particularly in regard to reading web content, the echo chamber is a significant factor. I want to impose a rule, something like “don’t read pseudo-writers.” Now about that definition of “pseudo”… oh, and “writers.”
2. Trust and knowledge. In many ways, human knowledge is a house of cards. Trying to dismantle it carefully, getting to the root, fundamental, non-negotiable concepts without which everything else you know cannot be is an exercise not to be undertaken at bedtime. During walks to work is probably better…
3. Workspace. Finding a balance between efficiency/productivity/inspiration.
4. Design simplicity for tomorrow… My last two articles have dealt with this - what the underlying purposes should be for web design and marketing and how we should strive for increased simplicity. My next one will be out this week and hone in on the idea of respecting attention.
5. Time travel. Because I often am, and because of this.
What are you thinking about right now?
