πŸ“Taste Is What Keeps Design Human Taste isn’t a luxuryβ€”it’s a leadership skill. In a world of AI-generated design, our ability to judge what’s good, resonant, and meaningful is what keeps design human.

Taste isn’t elitist.
It’s the invisible craft that helps us say:
β€œThis one is worth building.”

Is world getting crazy or has it been always crazy and we are cognitively bombarded with the cacophony? Turn the volume down. Breathe. Mute the non-sense

Journaling helps me to process my life. Helps me understand certain emotions coming above the surface on certain events. Why I am being triggered? I dig deep or I do sense make them. What is your experience with journaling? Is it an analog or digital experience for you?

Last year I start daily journaling. I was not sure when I start. Isn’t it something we used to when we were kids? Now I think about the traumas, events, feelings, thought spirals I have not captured. Writing on a paper, putting abstract thoughts into words. What a powerful tool for mental health.

I am lost with all these productivity tools, AI products. I think I am going back to fully analogue pen and paper only. Feels more mindful, less screaming on my face.

The 5 steps of the design process are denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and whiteboarding

Every evening, I check my 100 euro worth crypto wallet to see if I get rich. This is worse than waiting for my Amazon deliveries.

It is very hard to implement new process changes, activating new initiatives in the organisation. Is there a shorter cut I am not aware?

Oh that’s good to know! I am watching the second season and there is already a big shift in storytelling and character development in a positive way.

I am still having difficulty in getting into routines, focusing on goals for 2025. Is it because of the foggy weather outside?

How do you find time and energy at the same time for the things you like to do? If these three would be a Venn Diagram, they would like 3 circles minding their own business.

I am jealous of people starting conversations with strangers easily. I wonder what kind of life I would have if I have that skill.

European Federation of Journalists to stop posting content on X The EFJ represents over 295,000 journalists in 44 countries.

"We cannot continue to participate in the social network feed of a man who proclaims the death of the media and therefore of journalists... X is a platform that no longer serves the public interest at all, but the special ideological and financial interests of its owner and his political allies"
