Consumer interviews are the most powerful method of understanding how a product or service fits around someone’s life.

One reason we have so much trouble fixing chronic degenerative conditions is that we need to remove elements before we can start building new functions.

If we simply put effort on top of a shaky foundation, it’ll all be wasted.

The best way forward might be to take a few steps back.

Working in customer service is giving me depression and making me feel cold hearted. I’m in college majoring in biology end goal is to become a doctor …working at cvs and dealing with people yelling at me racist people then dealing with my outside life is just weighing on me… and people wonder why retail stores barely have workers. submitted by /u/CalmOrganization8298 [link] [comments]

A cat’s eye is smooth but doesn’t seem to be… there’s a mystery of depth. That illusion is called chatoyancy.

The same is true for some sorts of woods (cedar is an exception).

The digital age makes it more and more likely we’re experiencing things through a flat screen, and as a result, it’s very easy to file flat experiences away without a thought.

But creating something that’s chatoyant–that shifts in the light, that changes as we experience it… that’s a fascinating and useful project.

This page intentionally left blank has a long history.

I thought it was an IBM thing from the 1960s, but I was off by a thousand or more years.

There are good reasons for a page to be blank. Folding signatures, printing processes, having chapters start on the right or the left…

But there are even better reasons to let people know you did it on purpose. Particularly in a loosely bound book or a technical manual. Knowing that the page isn’t supposed to have something on it removes stress and lets the reader gain confidence that the text is complete.

Of course, as we race to fill in every moment with swiping, surfing and clicking, it’s easy to forget that we’re allowed to leave some blank spaces. In fact, not just allowed, but if we want to live well, required.

And it gets even easier if we announce (to ourselves and perhaps to others), that we’ve done it on purpose.
