While exploring the Art Soundoff journal prompt "what are you learning?" I share a few things I'm learning in both a business context and casual play context.

In a recent conversation I shared with someone that I can identify with being introverted though in recent years consider myself an ambivert. As I've noticed in previous conversations, the term ambivert is not as well known.

At the start of a project I've already gathered things that help me commit.

I share a few options for my favorite tool and consider how I probably have a bunch of favorite things that help me with understanding, considering, and solving problems.

I share an idea about making a game of exploring options and scenarios for combining different parts of a business to solve problems for the audience.

Thinking about how I get moving again on creative projects feels related to how I got stuck in the first place.

Continuing the UX for All series I talk about how the series is evolving beyond offering a starting point for UX tools. I describe four groups who each have goals that affect your UX design work: your audience, your organization, your team, and you. Then I describe some of the worthwhile conflict you can uncover through including all four and what might happen if you choose to avoid it.

Two mini-worksheets I made recently in collaboration with Kate Shields Stenzinger help simplify describing the goals and projects you're working on. We call them the Intentional Planner Tools.

The Goals and Actions planner is about reflection to help plan what's next combined with asking what you're big goals are for the next 5 years.

Then the project concept and project status mini-worksheets help you collect those things you're building and sharing with the world and make it easy to describe why they're important to your audience.

Both are available to download as PDFs.

My approach and steps I take for making very yummy baked tofu you can add to so many kinds of dishes or eat as-is.

Video games have been and continue to be an influential life long interest for me. In this Polytechnicast I talk about what I'm playing lately which includes some really old games.
