  The Bartender Theory Not sure if this is funny or a fantastic creativity exercise. Throw in any word with “theory” and make up a business strategy or management policy around it. “The Hulk Theory” anyone? How To Take Restful Breaks I am annoying bad at taking proper breaks, specially recently with a lot of personal issues […]

#62 – Get a Life, Legos mutated and Problem Solving

  One message: Stop Touting Your Crazy Hours Stop touting, lead by example, you are making your team feel bad and forcing yourself to pretend to be productive is different than actually being productive, so stop it! One kickstarter campaign: Edo – Giant cardboard Legos Like legos but huge and made with cardboard boxes, cheap […]

61 – Cockroach Theory, Tricking Yourself & Helicopter Money

  One Trick: For being nice to yourself It’s actually surprisingly hard to be kind to ourselves, specially when we are talking about our future selves. “Whenever you can, do something kind for Future You.” Try think of the future you as a close friend whom you care about. What advice would you give that […]

#60 – Friends, Prioritisation and Hacking your old cameras

  One Question: Do your friends like you “Show me your friends and I will show you who you are.” How many “close friends” do you have? It’s definitely about the quality over quantity here, and the shocking thing is not having enough could mean you die younger #SeriousStuff One App: One Big Thing I […]

Weekly Top 5 #59 – AI choices, Charts and Addictive Games (Pokemon Go)

On AI: How would you decide who should get hurt? Should self driving cars sacrafice the driver to save a pedestrian? How about 2? MIT scienctists are trying to work out what the “right” decision might be and they need your help. One Video: How free mobile games are designed to make money I am […]

Weekly Top 5 #57 – Conversations, Coding and 56 years of TV

One Video: How to have better conversation How good are you at conversations? Are you distracted or are you really paying attention? Are you listening to the other person or listening just enough so you reply with something witty? NPR radio host Celeste Headlee has some fantastic points we should be paying attention to make us […]

Weekly Top 5 #56 – Validation, Design and FramerJS experiment

One Experiment: Playing with FramerJS A short blog post I wrote last week on learning to use FramerJS for prototyping. Both Invision and Pixate failed to create the type of animation and interaction I was hoping to experiment. *The demo is a completely rebranded and repurposed interface to protect my client. One Tool: Validation Board […]

Weekly Top 5 #55 – Simplification, Being Hard on Yourself and How to Work

One article: How not to work The line between work and play is blurring and that’s a really really bad thing! We are not machines, I firmly believe we need time away from work in order for us to actually be the best at our work. One GREAT article: The ‘Brute Force’ Design Process As a […]

FramerJS for Prototyping – Good tool, Bad share

So here’s my first attempt at using FramerJS. I only looked into it out of frustration. Marvel and Invision wasn’t handling the animation well enough and Pixate got too weird and complicated really quickly, so since I had bought Framer with Sketch together many months ago, I might as well gave it a try and it was… AMAZING!
