Hold That Thought

Non-sense and sense-ability. Hold That Thought


Every Thursday I share three useful things to help you turn overthinking into expert thinking. Here are this week’s picks:

1.

Avoid the meeting-after-the-meeting…what is withholding costing you?

Find out in a 3-minute video from the Conscious Leadership Group

2.

What did you get really, really, really excited about?

This and 39 other questions to reflect on every year

3.

Can you spot the difference between these new Natwest bank cards?

Past-me would have spiralled down a pit of unproductive thought and frustration over these poorly designed cards. Today-me turned that overthinking energy into a short-but-deep thought dive on designing for how we actually live our lives

You don't need to be a designer to get curious about the objects in your environment and how you might adapt or arrange things to suit you better. It's how to turn overthinking energy into expert thinking action. Or maybe you're wondering, what's even the difference?

As we head into the season of excess packaging, over-the-top marketing, and all manner of other non-sense, look out for examples that challenge or delight your sense-abilities.

What's a design that gave you pause recently? Poorly thought out or expertly executed, I'd love to hear about it!

Until next week,
Kim


Give yourself the gift of thought-provoking content

When I share articles I've written on Medium, I use a 'friend link' so you can view it without using one of your 3 free monthly reads. I'm also aware that if I link to other people's articles on Medium, you may not be able to read them.

Why limit yourself?

If you join using my special link, you’ll get access to every article on Medium and your subscription fee supports me directly (and thousands of other writers, too). It's a nice way to give a small monthly tip to writers you benefit from reading.

Can't wait to read, write, and think together with you over there, too!
