Hold That Thought

Spaghetti, paperclip, or reed? Hold That Thought


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

  1. Don't ask users your burning questions — I recently updated this and published it in UX Collective. A good one to save for the next time you need to create a survey. Or if you want to adopt a research mindset in your work.
  2. From the Making Sense podcast comes a free audio preview of Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman. It is excellent, deep and thought-provoking. Also, 39 minutes long. Here's a nice jumping in point at 17:26.
  3. What resiliency is, summarised in my LinkedIn post, originally from page 18 of The Broken CEO by Chris Pearse

I've recently switched email platforms for this newsletter. I'd be curious to know how things landed for you. Any accessibility issues? Formatting woes? Dark mode fails?

Please reply and let me know. Or if there's nothing to report and you just want to say hi, I'd love that too!
