This week Kate and Rob discuss what we're doing with the podcast for season 5 and how our schedule is now based literally on the full moon. We ask what do we love about our recent individual projects and what do we find challenging.

This week Kate and Rob discuss how we've been away from this project for a while, piecing together a little over a year hiatus. We talk about Kate's battle and overcoming/survivor-thriver outcome with breast cancer and how writing when you give no effs was a powerful outlet for her. We're starting a new season of the show, ready to explore and see what shape it takes now, and are glad to be back sharing our stories with you.

Whether the work that you take on is building on skillful work in the past or not, things got to the way they are for some reason. Now you're here. In this journal I share reasons to find others past work as useful research and signals to help instead of joining a narrative that it has little to no value. Even if that past work wasn't well done, it holds clues and questions to dig into.

Have you been part of an organization that seems to repeat projects that don't learn much from one another? It's a thing I've wondered: why do companies forget? This episode of the Polytechnicast I journal about group memory and wonder if it would be helpful to remember what different teams have tried and learned in the past. Is it because we resist repeating other peoples stories?

Ready for another day of work, yet not feeling it. So many valid reasons to be in that situation… yet also having due dates and commitments to meet. Sometimes the work is rewarding and the outcomes too, people liking what you do, paying you for it, it’s all awesome. Yet still…sitting there, ready to write, draw, code…and Just. Not. Moving. Or distracted. Sometimes we find it works if we make a game of it. Some kind of reward or consequence waiting for us at the end of the workday. A little challenge we give ourselves.

Creative projects need lots of things, different concerns to focus on. Each of those concerns takes time. Where’s the time to create? How can we be kind and realistic in our plans? If we do this skillfully, we hope it will help our future selves get the things we care about making done, into the world, and help others become aware of the stuff we make.

Guitar Fretter is 10 years old and I still have more ideas to add and refine. Some of those ideas I'm putting into a new game, some I'm putting into the classic version of Guitar Fretter. Recently I thought I'd make a quick art update and I expected to be ready to publish in about 4 days. Did things get out of hand where it took 4 weeks instead? Analyzing the list of what to improve and testing along the way, it felt it best to make more improvements. This episode of the Polytechnicast journals my thought process and highlights what happened as I worked on the latest udpate. Also: a brief overview of what is Guitar Fretter.

One way to add service to your products is to teach about how they get made. Marketing your work as an artist can be an uncomfortable second skill, though it could be more than that. Marketing your work in the best context is a service because it helps you reach the audience that needs and wants what you make. In this episode of Lean Into Art, join Jerzy and Rob as they discuss telling the story of your creative products and the option to teach the skills you use along the way as an option to connect with new venues and audiences.

I wrote this article called Being There When a Team is Starting Their First Design Journey, my first Medium article. So many organizations in the recent 10+ years have asked: what if we explore if we should build something for our audience instead of just can we build something. They may not have intended to ask that question at the start, but they're asking this when they invite human centered design. Like I shared in the article "Even though UX design is becoming more common, the tools and skills of UX are not yet everywhere". Great opportunity for human centered designers to contribute. In this Polytechnicast I share a summary of the article and explore some additional thoughts surrounding. It would be faster to read the article but then you'd miss out on all this extra commentary.

What's sharable, useable, and useful to put in your portfolio? Your UX portfolio is an interesting challenge. Doing the work that leads to a credible conceptual foundation for a product or service doesn't always come with sharable artifacts to curate as a gallery in a portfolio. In any case, finding the story, the goals of your audience, and your goals is a place to consider your portfolio as a design problem.

Continuing the UX for All series I talk about how the series is evolving beyond offering a starting point for UX tools.

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.

A few weeks back I noticed how I've developed a habit of moving past completing tasks big or small without celebrating and since then I've been talking with others about how they celebrate finishing things and doing some reflection on it all. In this Polytechnicast I share where I'm at so far with working on celebrating more. Related Links and Resources Tweet thread: How do you celebrate your accomplishments?

And old saw we haven’t used on the Lean Into Art Cast in some time is “limitations breed creativity.” What we typically mean by this is that limiting one’s choices in a creative endeavor removes ambiguity and often provides a starting point. It can also present interesting creative problems to solve. But what about the tools or platform you choose? Don’t they introduce constraints as well? Can these constraints enhance the work, or are they a roadblock we have to work around? When do we abandon the tool or platform altogether? Join us for a discussion on the unforeseen influence in the tools you use.
