(2/5) Part I, Foundations, covers the fundamental differences between enterprise and consumer applications. This section explains how to adapt user-centered design methods such as user research, journey mapping, persona development, and product envisioning for the enterprise.

(4/4) There are lots of "tricks and tips" to develop habits, but "touch the keys every day" is the one that has worked for me.

(3/4)The idea of "touching the keys every day" works beyond the piano. For me, it was even on the busiest days at least opening my manuscript. Some days, there was no work, and that's OK. Other days, I would write a sentence or two and often that was enough to start writing more.

(2/4) It comes from Kourosh Dini. When he was growing up studying piano, like most kids, he wasn't always into practicing. His teacher advised him to just "touch the keys every day." So you sit at the piano, and sometimes that is enough to get going and do more. It cultivates the habit of practice.

*Advantage Craft* for its simpler, more information-carrying design.

Craft has folders; clicking on a folder in the sidebar it gives you document previews for the folder's contents. Folders are represented by icons (by default simple one-color icons); documents are not. Documents are represented by tiny previews, giving a rough sense of what the document contains.

Look at how much cleaner the Craft experience is. Also, general nav lesson here: on any given page, local navigation is more important than global navigation, because it’s directly relevant to the user’s context.

Coda has a function similar to Craft TOC (outline). However, Coda outline view is off by default and when enabled, it populates to the right, persisting the "global navigation" on the left.

Note this is a drill-down view: they haven't carried forward the "global navigation" for the space.

I proceed with caution on all generative AI, but the Arc Search UX is way better than combing through Google, and the answer format is more digestible than what a chatbot generates.

"Browse for me" seems to work best for getting quick answers to simple questions. But even a more complicated request, "best tacos al pastor in Phoenix," returned a ranking that mapped to research I had done previously on Google.
