    I’ve always been a night owl. I’m curious to find out if I can turn myself into a morning person.
    I managed to get up at 4.30am!
    This is already a massive achievement for me, and I could just go back to bed and be happy now I know I’ve managed to achieve this first step. But I’m not going to obviously.
    Going to bed early was the most difficult thing for me: I managed to get to sleep around 22.30, which meant 6 hours sleep (but my fitbit told me I only managed 5 hours)
    I’m not going to be doing one of these episodes every day about my sleeping habits, that would get boring. I’m just cataloguing this first day.

  • 185 - The Really Important Thing I'm Learning Doing a Podcast
    You can't please everybody, and you need to stop trying.

    You can't please everyone, and nor should you try. 
    In fact, the less people you try to please, and the more you stay true to yourself, the More people you'll attract 
    The more people you try to please, the more vanilla you become
    And nobody likes vanilla
    Its all in the niche, and finding yours.

  • 184 - TechTown Junior Hack Day Roundup
    I went to a hack day a few days ago in Barnsley where the attendees were all school kids. I have to tell you about this.

    I did a talk about creativity as a job at a local junior hack day event a few days ago in Barnsley 
    The event brought together school age kids, around 11-14 to answer problems with design thinking 
    The 3 ideas shown off were great, and more importantly the creativity was awesome
    A washing machine that did your washing and other household chores 
    A bluetooth alarm clock that could connect with other connected tech in your house like WiFi lights, kettles and curtains
    And an alarm that you have to step on to get it to stop. It was basically a mat you'd leave outside of your bed. The name was the best thing. Up N Mat Em
    There was a couple of activities as well, like making magnetic slime with Ruth Amos, who runs the YouTube channel Kids Invent Things
    Making solar panel cars with Kisha Bradley from My Bright Toys
    And Alison Buxton showed the kids how to make a simple circuit to make badges that light up (I didn't see the other things) 
    It was a great day and so good to see this kind of thing happening in Barnsley.
    And also it was great to introduce the kids to so many potential job opportunities that just let you be creative.

    Scribbled Shownotes

    I talk about my podcast, and also about some potential changes I'm making.
    I mentioned a book called Oversubscribed by Daniel Priestley that I'm reading at the minute. It's brilliant.

  • 181 - Is The Role Of A Designer Dying?
    In the tech-heavy world we live in now, is the role of the designer dying out?
    Subscribe:ITUNES | ANDROID | STITCHER | RSS FEED
    Scribbled Shownotes
    I'm a designer
    Which makes me bias on the following topic a little bit
    I don't think the role of the designer is dying
    But it's definitely changing
    Design is so important 
    And as more and more digital products are made
    And more things like Facebook, Instagram and snapchat makes loads of money 
    We need more designers than ever
    But designers need to get more technical
    Because that's where the industry is going 
    We'll still always need good graphic designers 
    And good designers who can design brands
    But we need more technical designers more than ever
    So my bet right now for the next five years 
    Is to diversify your design skill
    And become more technical
    In another 10 years time everything will probably change back again
    So if you want to play the long game
    Ignore everything I've said
