A podcast worth listening to
My partner and I have been listening to Heavyweight while solving some puzzles. We love the investigative journalism that goes into most episodes. "Heavy weights" are the things that we carry in our life, that we drag on, and that we can't solve. A distant relative that you haven't seen in years. An extremely overdue apology, or thankfulness. Every episode is just so heart warming.
A concept worth understanding
Incentives. At work or in life, we all have our own incentives, or reasons to do things. I find that harmony often resides when incentives are shared and understood. Incentives don't need to be aligned, they don't need to be common, they just need to exist and be known. If you need harmony in your life, look into incentives. I read it first in this article by Abby Covert.
An activity worth doing
Lino printing. I recently bought a lino cut and printing kit from a small paper shop. I definitely recommend it both as a relax weekend activity. It's easier than it looks, and you can craft really unique paper objects. My partner and I created a series of holiday cards that we sent to friends and family!
A newsletter worth subscribing to
Take a look at Own your Web, a fairly recent newsletter from UX designer Matthias Ott about personal websites. I just love how personal websites seem to be making a comeback.
A design worth seeing
I love old graphic design manuals. I came across an excerpt of the Graphic design manual by Armin Hofmann recently. You might be able to find the whole book in a library near you too!
