Sophie Wade is a work futurist and strategist, author and authority on the Future of Work, instructor on Gen Z, empathy, and Future of Work skills, and host of this show. Sophie discusses modern work—what it is, why and how it is different and human-centric. She explains how to adapt to be prepared for the ongoing changes around and ahead of us, accelerated by AI. Sophie sets the landscape, describes enterprise needs, and why employees are the focus for the future. She shares the core principles of modern work and why practicing empathy is key. TAKEAWAYS [00:45] Sophie wants to take stock of where we are and what's ahead that we need to prepare for. [01:27] Our environment is highly-digitalized and interconnected, generating fast-paced change. [03:30] Artificial intelligence has become a top strategic priority for most businesses. [04:19] Driven by technology, is your customer base changing, how you serve them, or how quickly you have to upgrade your products? [04:49] To respond to marketplace demands, operations become more flexible and the nature of work evolves. [05:52] The pandemic catalyzed us along a path we were already on. [06:12] The impact of technology updates on employees needing frequently to upskill and reskill. [07:07] Why enterprises need to create a skills inventory and be mapping every employee's skills. [07:28] Hierarchies have flattened for businesses to be more nimble. [08:10] Non-linear careers must be planned and managed even when skills and roles are evolving. [08:50] Internal talent marketplaces and cross organization relationships facilitate non-vertical career development. [09:41] Why younger employees quit if they can't easily move internally with their current employer. [10:43] Jobs with high and low automation potential can be compared for skills matching to assess possible future transfers. [11:53] How BCG consultants used GPT4 and completed more tasks faster and better! [13:11] Why the Future of Work is tech-driven and talent-focused. [13:54] Empathy is essential in modern work to ensure the emphasis is on people. [14:38] Each business is different so there are principles of modern work to adapt appropriately. [15:10] The core principles of modern work are: Learning, Intention, Flexibility, and Empathy. [16:25] Why workers need to be creators. [17:04] Thinking outside the box is critical and what the box symbolizes—before and now. [17:45] A strong culture is essential, grounded by empathy and other timeless values. [18:50] AI is likely to net out creating more jobs, but much will shift during the transition. [19:10] What is the broader impact of encouraging your team to use of AI? [20:11] Empathy can help us focus on progress rather than more debates about work locations. [20:52] IMMEDIATE ACTION TIP: To start the transition to modern work, be curious and open-minded. Ask coworkers for ideas and recommendations and explore new possibilities. Curiosity primes you for learning, being flexible, and empathy about other's viewpoints. [21:27] Modern work IS different—adjusting for our new environment as well as enterprise and employee needs. [22:17] The process of transformation is messy, but there are great benefits all round when we create and co-create together. RESOURCES Sophie Wade on LinkedIn Sophie's personal/speaker website Sophie company Flexcel Network's website QUOTES “These change that are upon us has been building in momentum for years already and causing strain within our fixed internal structures.” “We have been transitioning for years already to modern work which is about flexibility—accommodating activities that are less linear, less routine, with more collaborative and cross disciplinary.” “Numerous rigid layers of hierarchy have intentionally been reduced significantly in many cases to enable businesses to be more nimble and responsive.” “Stronger relationships are critical to develop deliberately across organizations to permit non vertical career development, so that managers are willing to share one of their rising stars to another team or division.” “For now, it is easier for employees to quit to advance their careers than move within their own organization.” “The Future of Work is tech-driven and talent focused.” “Empathy is essential in modern work—giving us each ability to understand other's perspectives and connect with their experiences.” “Everyone providing value to your business across your entire workforce needs to be a “creator”.”

Discover why Curtis (CEO of Improving) has over 1000 employees who participate in trust pods, how he built an Inc. 500 Fastest Growing Private Co and a Best Place to Work Co, and when he discovered his blind spot (15 minutes). CEO BLINDSPOTS® PODCAST GUEST: Curtis A. Hite. Curtis is the CEO of Improving. He began his career as a software engineer building systems in the Defense industry – first with Rockwell International and then at E-Systems (later acquired by Raytheon). In 1998, Curtis and several partners founded Expede, a software development consulting and training company. Its quick growth drew the attention of a French company, Valtech, which acquired them in 1999. Curtis soon became CEO of Valtech's North American operations and remained in that position until late 2006. In early 2007, Curtis and many of the same partners established the Blue Ocean Group, which quickly acquired a small training company called Improving Enterprises and adopted the Improving name. The company has been blessed with continued growth since then — repeatedly receiving accolades including the Inc500/5000, Dallas 100, and Aggie 100. More importantly, the company has received recognitions from its employees as one of the best work places in Texas as noted by the Dallas Morning News, Dallas Business Journal, and Texas Monthly. Curtis graduated from Texas A&M University in 1994 with a B.S. and M.S. in computer science. At Texas A&M, he was a member of the Corps of Cadets, serving as commanding officer of Squadron 6 and as a member of the Ross Volunteers. In 2007 Curtis was honored by the Department of Computer Science as a CSE Distinguished Former Student and later in 2013 he received the inaugural Outstanding Early Professional Achievement Alumni Honor Award from the Dwight Look College of Engineering. For more information about Improving; https://improving.com/ CEO Blindspots® podcast host: Birgit Kamps. Investors and CEOs rely on Birgit to quickly discover blind spots holding their organization back, and accelerate leadership effectiveness. Her professional experience includes starting and selling an “Inc. 500 Fastest Growing Private Company” and a “Best Company to Work for in Texas”, and serving as a Board Member with various companies.

Atlanta is a city known for many things: the food, the music, the culture. The traffic! But I don't know if Atlanta's really ever been seen as a design city like one would see New York or Chicago. That reputation is rapidly changing though, and that's thanks to Chip Gross. Chip is the managing director for Work & Co's newest office in Atlanta, and with over 20 years of experience under his belt, he's helping the city be recognized as a destination for design talent. We started off talking about his new position, including how it differs from his past roles, as well as the challenges of setting up a new office during a pandemic. Chip also spoke about growing up throughout New England and attending UPenn, starting his career in Chicago, and then moving to Atlanta for grad school. We also talked about Chip's experiences at IBM, iXL, Brighthouse, and AKQA, and how those prepared him for what he's doing now. Chip has put in the work and now it's time for him to take center stage!LinksWork & Co Atlanta OfficeChip Gross on LinkedInFor extended show notes, including a full transcript of this interview, visit revisionpath.com.==========Take our 2022 audience survey!

“How do I get a place at the decision-making table?” For those of us in the data industry, we hear this question from other analytics professionals often. “How do I have my voice heard?” We face the challenge of trying - and often failing - to influence decisions in our organisations.

Meet Antony Ugoni Antony's Role as a Business Leader at Flow of Work Co Antony Ugoni is an Advisor at Flow of Work Co.

He is also a Chairperson at the Advisory Board of IAPA - the Institute of Analytics Professionals of Australia, and has been, until recently, a member of the Advisory Board for the Australian Alliance for Data Leadership and the Association for Data Driven Marketing and Advertising. With over 20 years in the industry and with these positions, Antony is ardently involved with activities and projects designed to drive analytic professionals to find seats at decision-making tables. It's his belief that, with a data-driven and evidence-based approach to decision making, organisations can flourish.

Unser heutiger Gast beschäftigt sich seit vielen Jahren mit der Frage, wie sich unsere wichtigsten Institutionen, ob in der Wirtschaft, im Gesundheitswesen, in der Regierung oder im gemeinnützigen Sektor, von den Nachteilen ihrer Größe und der selbst geschaffenen Bürokratie befreien können. Seit mehr als zehn Jahren untersucht er Organisationen und Teams, die anders arbeiten. Das sind Organisationen, in denen Anpassungsfähigkeit und Autonomie gegenüber Effizienz und Kontrolle im Vordergrund stehen. Er ist der Gründer von "The Ready", einer Beratungs- und Coaching-Organisation. Mit seinem Team hilft er Organisationen, neue Formen der Selbstorganisation und dynamischen Teamarbeit einzuführen. Zu seinen Kunden zählen Unternehmen wie General Electric, Microsoft, Citibank, Airbnb und Charles Schwab. Unser Gast ist auch ein aktiver Angel-Investor und wir sind auf ihn aufmerksam geworden, weil er eines der wichtigsten Bücher über die Zukunft der Arbeit geschrieben hat. Es hat auch einen der besten Titel: Es heißt: "Brave New Work ". Seit mehr als 4 Jahren sind wir auf dem "Weg zur neuen Arbeit". Wie kann ein Thema, das in unserem Alltag eine so wichtige Rolle spielt, wieder mehr Sinn in unserem Leben schaffen? Wie schaffen wir es, dass Menschen wieder Kraft und Motivation aus ihrer täglichen Arbeit schöpfen? Und wie kann es gelingen, auch in solch schwierigen Zeiten ein sinnerfülltes, glückliches, gesundes, produktives und erfülltes Leben zu führen? Wir sind auf der Suche nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Werkzeugen und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näher bringen! Es geht uns immer um die Frage, ob jeder Mensch wirklich das finden und leben kann, was er im Innersten wirklich will. Ihr seid bei "Auf dem Weg zu New Work" mit Aaron Dignan
Whether you like it or not, writing is an integral part of the design process these days, and no one knows this better than this week's guest, Reese Fuller. As a senior writer for digital agency Work & Co, Reese works with visual designers and strategists to help "make the words sound good." Our conversation started off with Reese detailing how he works as a writer in a design agency, talked about his switch from STEM to writing, and cleared up some misconceptions designers may have about including writing in the design process. Reese also spoke about growing up in the DMV area, the difference for him between working in agencies vs. in-house at companies, and gives some great advice and resources for any designers looking to strengthen their writing.

South Korea's Hopes for Unification Hinge on North Korea's Nukes (0:31)Guest: Joon-yong Park, Consul General, Consulate General of the Republic of Korea in San FranciscoNegotiations over North Korea's nuclear weapons have been at a standstill for months. Meanwhile, North Korea has done a series of missile launches and threatened to resume nuclear weapons tests if the US doesn't come back to the negotiating table by the end of the year. How Ageism is Defining the Work Experience for All Generations (16:12)Guest: Robert McCann, Ph.D., Professor of Management Communications, UCLA Anderson School of ManagementLook around the typical office in America and you're likely to see a wide range of ages. The oldest Gen Z-ers now starting out in the workplace. The oldest Millennials are about to turn 40. Gen-Xers are filling out a lot of the management and executive suites alongside Baby Boomers who are delaying retirement in significant numbers. It's a situation ripe for miscommunication and age-discrimination. Co-Housing: Modern-Day Communal Living (34:00)Guest: Karin Hoskin, Executive Director of the Cohousing Association of the US and Resident of Wild Sage, a Co-Housing CommunityNeighbors are a mixed bag for most people. We love ‘em, but man they can get on our nerves when they let their yard get messy or keep their dog outside all night barking. At least you can always put up a fence. We're good at that in America. But some people do the opposite. They create co-housing communities where everyone shares common indoor and outdoor spaces, like kitchens and gardens. Trauma of the Parents (53:42)Guest: Randy Jirtle, Professor of Biology, North Carolina State UniversityDid you know that life experiences of your parents and grandparents may be embedded in your genes? For example, a recent study of Civil War and US Census data found that the sons of soldiers held in particularly harsh prison camps during the war had shorter lives. We're talking about the sons of the soldiers – sons who weren't even alive during the war. How can that be that a father might pass his own emotional or physical trauma down to a child through his genes? (Orginally aired 10/24/19) YouTube and the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (1:10:23)Guest: Robbie Bagley, Creator Behind the Channel “Working with Lemons”Kids love YouTube. Everybody knows that –including YouTube, which has spent years telling advertisers it's the go-to site for reaching youngsters. And that's exactly what landed YouTube in deep trouble with federal regulators. There are laws about what kinds of information you can collect on kids under the age of 13 without parental permission. YouTube has not been doing a good job following those laws. So, in September, the company settled with the Federal Trade Commission and New York State for $170 million and promised to change the way it makes money off content targeted at kids. Those changes are causing a big stir among YouTubers who make those videos. Some say their ad revenue will just dry up completely and they'll stop creating content. Is this the end of Kids YouTube? No more videos of people unboxing toys? Or playing with dolls? Or playing Minecraft? Or re-enacting scenes from Disney cartoons?

"Owned By No One - Part 1". I’m just back from the Cannes Lions festival of creativity and recorded some podcasts while I was there. This is the first of them. The topic is the idea of Nils Leonard - founder of Uncommon and a guest on "Fearless” a couple of years ago. Creativity requires risk and uncertainty. Two attributes that the business world has developed powerful resistance to. Want to try something new? In a publicly traded company, you’ve got to convince the c-suite, the board, the analysts and the shareholders. That’s a lot of institutional antibodies. What then of the flip side of ownership? When you own the company yourself? Does that more easily produce the conditions in which creativity and innovation can thrive? In this conversation I’m joined in the Vice Penthouse overlooking the Croisette in Cannes by three people who have previously been guests on ˜Fearless’ - Nils Leonard of Uncommon, Alex Goat of Livityand Mohan Ramaswamy of Work & Co. And by Spencer Baim, who is the Chief Brand Officer of Vice Media.

Never let your mental health conditions be a hinder (because they never are) in creating and growing your business! In this episode of the Mental Health Revolution Podcast, Kate interviews Ant Knight, the co-founder of the Mindset Movement. After battling with depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), Ant was able to get back up and start fulfilling his real mission – to build a community that can help other people succeed. Kate and Ant talk about great strategies that you can do so you don’t let the negative thoughts, the doubts, and your fears affect you. Learn how you could get a healthy and positive mindset in striving towards success when you tune in. KEY TAKEAWAYS Ant Knight started the Mindset Movement to help other people by sharing his stories and experience. He wants to create a group of like-minded people who could guide each other alongside while they’re building their dreams. He has worked for a long time in the corporate setting but decided one day that it’s time for a change. He started to educate himself about property and aimed to be financially independent. Ant has obsessive-compulsive disorder, or also known as OCD. He recalls that things take too long to finish because of obsessions and compulsions. For example, driving to work, taking a shower, or cleaning a room would take very long. He was diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and OCD. He was advised to go through counselling and take medication. He also underwent cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). Self-awareness is the key to suppress all the negative thoughts you’re having. We’re all humans, we’re imperfect, and we make mistakes. Most have experience with broken relationships. Some are fixable while some aren’t and this might severely affect your behaviour and mood. Don’t get it all inside your head; try to speak with somebody else. Change for the better and take control. Do small tasks every day. Get a hobby that will let you clear your mind. And, when you also increase your physical health, the level of your mental health also increases. Ant is passionate about growing his business to reach and help more people. He continues to talk about his condition and his stories. BEST MOMENTS “What you need to be doing with your mental health is to build up good everyday working practices in terms of how you think about things and react to things – that will help you maintain good levels of mental health.” – Kate “Unfortunately, when we go through our bad patches or when we’re not looking after ourselves, everything gets a bit distorted. It’s when things get distorted that things go a bit wrong.” “You just got to get yourself out of bed and get busy.” “It’s really inspiring to get your purpose back, to get your dream back, and have a plan to go forward.” “By gently unpicking the belief that they’re depressed because of a chemical imbalance and actually pressing on the idea that they’re feeling this way because they’re powerless… that triggers a whole lot of thinking styles.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Mindset Movement Day Tickets, Sat 27 Apr 2019 at 10:00 | Eventbrite The Mindset Movement NHS ABOUT THE GUEST Ant Knight is the Co-Founder of the Mindset Movement which helps people have a shift in mindset to increase their chances of success. It is joined by like-minded people who also want to see and help other people succeed. Like The Mindset Movement on Facebook ABOUT THE HOST Kate Ashley-Norman is creator of Positive Mind Management, the host of The Mental Health Revolution podcast, and a passionate speaker and trainer about our emotional wellbeing. She is seeking to change the nature and tone of the conversation around mental health for business owners, their workplaces and ultimately in their personal lives. Kate has spent the last 25+ years running her own businesses, initially working running a six figure PR consultancy agency, then building a multi-million pound international property portfolio. Latterly she has dedicated her time to studying emotional mastery and positive psychology, while bringing up four children, and has used her experience and knowledge to create the Positive Mind Management programme specifically for entrepreneurs and small businesses. The knowledge Kate has collated will help you to not only better understand your emotions, it will help you both improve it, and supercharge it during those more challenging times when emotional wellbeing can be compromised. Fear, procrastination, overwhelm, powerlessness, self worth – empire building is a hugely challenging process in its own right. The more power you hold within your own emotions, the more you can harness the power of those emotions, good and bad, to the benefit of your business and life in general. Hugely practical and applicable, this revolutionary approach to mental health is putting the power back into the hands of each and every individual.

My guest today is Fabricio Teixeira. Fabricio has led design teams at various agencies over the past 15 years; now he's at Work & Co, a digital product design studio based in Brooklyn, NY. I came to know Fabricio because he's one of the founders and publishers of UX Collective, one of the largest design and UX online publications. In this episode, we focus on how Fabricio and his partner Caio Braga make UX Collective happen through mindful information management. Listen to the full conversation https://theinformeddotlife.files.wordpress.com/2019/02/episode-3-fabricio-teixeira.mp3 Show notes Fabricio Teixeira UX Collective Work & Co Feedly Digg Reader (sadly, no longer available) Pocket Buffer If This Then That Getting Things Done Gmail Gmail canned responses Google Sheets Google Tasks Read the full transcript Fabricio: I'm a designer. I've been working on the agency side of things for the last 15 years. I started back in Brazil. Moved to the US, I think, 10 years ago. Lived in Miami New York, San Francisco, and I'm now based in Brooklyn. And as a designer, I'm a more focused on the systematic/functional side of things. And I've always been a maniac when it comes to information organization. So when I heard about your podcast, I was like “this is this is amazing!” I started out as an information architect back in the day, you know, that was a cool name at the time. And to me felt like it was a perfect calling in a way. I've always liked both kind of arts and science, and that whole universe of IA was the best of two worlds for me. So it's kind of bringing it all together. Jorge: I first got to know about you because you are one of the two founders of a publication that has had a lot of visibility online about UX design, right? Fabricio: That's right, UX Collective. Jorge: I had seen your site, and it was very memorable because it used images of polar bears — which I'm very drawn to — and also a very distinctive light blue color. And yeah, so it's very it's got this branding that is very recognizable. And I remember I posted an article on Medium, and you all reached out and asked me to include it in the publication. And that's how I came to be… Well, I had been aware of it before — I recognized it immediately because of the branding — but that's how I came to be more in the loop here. So I'm curious about UX Collective. How does it work? Fabricio: Sure. So we started UX Collective, I think, twelve years ago. Even more, maybe. When I was starting in UX, and I was learning about the topic, there wasn't a lot of information available in Portuguese at the time — my native language — so I had to learn English to be able to read the blogs that were out there like Boxes and Arrows and A List Apart and all that great stuff. And then I started using my blog as a way to translate what I was learning to my fellow Brazilian designers. So it started really as a tool to document some of the things that I was learning through that journey and then, fast forward a couple years, I was doing that more and more often. I was doing that in English now, and Medium came about and suddenly we became the largest design publication on Medium. So you can imagine how much effort that itself takes, to manage a publication. And the goal for UX Collective has always been giving back to the community some of the content that is available online, right? There's a lot of content online, but at the same time that creates a little bit of noise for designers that are starting in the field. So it's a way for us to curate everything that's going on and give back to the community in a more digestible way, I guess. Jorge: Yeah, it's a service that you provide. Right? Fabricio: Right. Yeah. Jorge: So you talked about a few things there that I'm very intrigued by. One was the fact that the original intent behind UX Collective was to bring to the Brazilian community the stuff that was happening elsewhere in the world. Is that right? Fabricio: That's right. Yeah, Jorge: So there was a point where you switched over to English. And you said that you are the largest design publication in Medium and I'm guessing that that would not be the case if it had stayed as a Portuguese publication. So I'm curious about that decision to switch to English. How did it come about? Fabricio: I think it was part of my journey as a designer, right? I moved to the US and English suddenly became my primary language, and all the vocabulary that I was getting and learning and developing as I was working in design was in English. So it felt like almost like a natural process to start shifting to English. We still publish articles in Portuguese as well. I haven't stopped doing that. But it's interesting how English has become my primary professional language while Portuguese is still my primary personal language in a way. Jorge: You live in New York. Do you engage day-to-day with a lot of people in Portuguese? Fabricio: Yeah, there are some Brazilians in our office at Work & Co. So, I get to talk Portuguese at least a little bit every day. But usually the topics we talk about are not exactly work-related, right? Versus English, which is a language I'm using for everything design-related. Jorge: Right. I'm asking you these questions because I'm curious — for obvious reasons, I think — English is also not my native language. And I'm in a very similar situation to you in that I moved to the US and English became my primary language. You talk about this distinction between work and personal stuff, and in the design field, especially, there's a lot of terminology that doesn't easily translate, right? Fabricio: True. Jorge: How do you choose which articles go in Portuguese and which go in English? Fabricio: That's a really good question. All articles work in English, at least they work well for me in English, and then I pick the ones that make more sense to translate to Portuguese based on kind of the zeitgeist of the Brazilian design community and the discussions that I see happening in the level of maturity of the Brazilian industry. So it's kind of a curation in a way as well picking the ones that I think makes sense to translate. There are some things that are maybe too technical or that talk about a certain technology that it's not as popular in Brazil as it is, you know here in the US. So yeah, I follow I usually follow my instincts to decide what to translate, I guess. Jorge: Is it just you or do you have a team working with you? Fabricio: I have a partner, Caio. Also Brazilian. We split our responsibilities on the blog. Jorge: And are you doing the translation yourselves or do you have folks helping with that? Fabricio: No, we are. I'm writing at least one article a week in Portuguese. Jorge: Well, that's amazing. Kudos! So I'm curious… you're running a publication, right? And having been a part of the process from the authoring side, I know that you and Caio have ways of managing this publication and keeping track of what gets published when, I'm guessing. Right? Some kind of editorial schedule? I was hoping that you could tell us about that about the systems and structures that you have in place to help you manage the publication. Fabricio: Yeah, of course. So just for context: It's a lot of stuff; it's a lot of content. We have the Medium publication where we publish I guess around five or six articles every day and to get to those five articles. I have to read through, you know, 15-20 articles every day to decide what gets published. We also have a newsletter that we send every week with the best links of the week. We have our trend report that we launch at the end of the year. We have mentorship sessions that we offer we have to manage our social accounts; Twitter and Linkedin and Facebook. So it's a lot of effort and the interesting part is I have a full-time job. This my side project; my hobby. but I also have a full-time job. I'm a design director at Work & Co. which is a product design studio in Brooklyn. So it's challenging to manage it all at the same time. And the way I like to think about how to manage information, I think there's a term that's stuck in my head right now… information diet, right? I think I read about it on your blog the first time, and since then I really started paying attention, you know to pay more attention to it. It's so important today, being able to manage how much information you consume every day, the same way one would limit their red meat consumption. It's like it's really essential and I feel like. As consumers not only as a blog editor or as a writer. We have reached a point where we are consuming more information every single day than our brains are able to process, you know. We're scrolling through feeds, we're getting hundreds of emails, and we're being stimulated by video audio and notifications. And there's a lot going on, so that certainly starts to affect our overall well-being as humans. So I'm really mindful of balancing my own information diet and especially having the blog and having my full-time job and being exposed to a lot of information every day, the way I try to organize myself when it comes to managing that amount of information. I try to think about it in three different levels. First, it's the intake piece. Right? What's the right of right amount of information to consume and from which sources? This layer is really about preventing the wrong content or distractions from getting to me the first place. I when I say “wrong,” I mean unhelpful content. Then there is like, “cool, the content got to me.” And then there's a second layer of, “how do I organize that content with the information that I do need and that I do want to receive every day?” Which is still a lot. How can I organize myself to distribute that information throughout my day, my week, in different mindsets I'm in. So that's the second layer. And then there's a third layer of, “cool, I have a lot of stuff that I have to put out: tweets and posts and emails.” And so how do I create efficiencies? How do I automate my workflow as much as possible to be able to keep up with all this all these side projects at the same time. So yeah, that's how my brain kind of breaks down that challenge: intake, organization, and then automation. And then of coursem for each of these layers, I have specific tools that I use and specific mechanisms that have been successful or not as successful. Jorge: That's fantastic. It's a really clear way of thinking about it. Can you share with us one tool each for these layers? The ones that you feel are most important? Fabricio: Yeah. The first one is the intake of information. So this is really about curation tools. You're probably similar to me Jorge, but I've been building an RSS feed. I don't know if you use Google Reader… not Google Reader, but Feedly, or Digg Reader, or one of those RSS services. So I've been building that list over the years. That's my primary source of information. Every time I find a reliable blog or site or something, I add that feed to my to my reader. And then I try to balance that with Twitter, which adds to that serendipity aspect of, “let's just follow a few random folks here and see what they're up to you and see what they're talking about.” That way, I'm balancing heavy reading and design-related content versus random topics like culture and politics that people are talking about on Twitter. One thing I try to do — kind of a hack that I that I've been doing the last couple years — is just to silence my phone as much as possible. Sometimes it's not about too much information, but it's about information trying to get to you too many times throughout the day, if that makes sense. I think five years ago I redesigned my phone experience to turn off all notifications except for one or two apps, removed the number of icons that I have on my home screen so there's not a lot of visual clutter and information every time I unlock my phone. Removing all those red badges from the app icon, so there's no anxiety or tapping them and opening them. So in a way, it's almost like I designed my technology experience so that it doesn't get in the way of the actual information I want to get access to, if that makes any sense. Jorge: It sounds like you're configuring your environment so that you can be more in control of your attention, right? Fabricio: That's right. Yeah, and that's not only around technology. Of course, technology plays an important role there, but being mindful of my surroundings… I always try to keep the books from authors that I admire next to my desk. So I'm always surrounded by that feeling of… It's hard to describe, but even my apartment walls are a hundred percent white; there's no paintings or anything. My desk has as few objects as possible. As a designer, I'm making sure that I'm designing the space around me to avoid too much cognitive load throughout the day. Jorge: The degree to which our environments and the busyness of the environment impinges upon your ability to be effective. Right? Fabricio: It's really hard to measure. It's not a quantity, right? It's hard to measure the return over investment over those things because ultimately it's really qualitative. It's really about feeling lighter at the end of the day. I guess that's my KPI, ultimately. Jorge: I'm wanting to dig a little bit more into the inputs through RSS and Twitter. That sounds very similar to the way that I get my information. And it can be a fire hose, right? Even with RSS like you said. Well, you see something interesting you have to feed to your RSS. There comes a point where there's a lot coming through; I'm wondering what the mechanics are behind saying, “this is one that I need to follow up on.” How do you keep track of that? Fabricio: I usually pick the ones that I'm not going to find… the type of content that I'm not going to find anywhere else, right? Because there's tech news and there's design news. If you open ten different blogs, they're all going to be talking about the same thing. Right? So I know that eventually, I'm going to stumble upon that news or someone going to talk about the latest iPhone or the latest design tool at work or in other places. So I try to curate my feeds to the sources to the type of content. I'm not going to find anywhere else and then what I do is every time I feel that. Oh, there's that's too much content because I'm the feed zero inbox zero type of person. I like to go through everything that I have, but it starts to get overwhelming at some point. So every end of the year, I stop and look back at my feed. I do that across the board. I look at my wardrobe, and I donate things that I'm not using; not wearing. But I also do that on my feeds. I look at my feeds, and I'm like, “well, I haven't really gotten anything super relevant from this blog or from this website.” So once a year I make sure I clean up my sources, so I'm not spending too much time on Feedly every day. Jorge: You publish on UX Collective an end-of-year review of the UX design field that spots patterns and tries to surface the things that you are seeing as being worthy of our attention. And this is getting into your second step which has to do with organizing content. Right? I'm curious how you take that fire hose of content and then start spotting patterns that you will then raise to our attention through UX Collective. Fabricio: Yeah. So for that second layer, I feel like I have too many tools and hacks that I use some of them are pretty embarrassing. So maybe I'll share the most important ones. So I use a lot of Gmail labels to be able to control all the information that gets to me all the emails and messages that I get. I also use Pocket, the Chrome extension, to save the most exciting and interesting articles. And then I have a whole tagging system. If I tag a certain article as newsletter, it then saves that article to a Google spreadsheet that I can open every weekend to curate the links that I'm going to include in my weekly newsletter. If I tag an article — I forgot the specific tag — but it's almost like if each different tag drives that article to a different workflow. If I tag an article “Twitter,” it automatically schedules a tweet with that link using Buffer, which is another management tool that I have. So I've built a system around how to navigate that information and all those links. And then at the end of the year, there's also a tag for that. Usually, Caio and I go back to our bookmarks and to what we feel were the most relevant topics that year, and then we start trying to find patterns: “Okay, what are the 10 biggest topics that the UI and design community talked about this year?” So there's a lot of automation and tools going on. Jorge: To be clear, you are doing the tagging in Pocket. Is that right? Fabricio: I am. So I'm saving all the links in Pocket. I'm tagging in Pocket. Then I'm setting up some If This Then That bots to then connect those Pocket links to other services that I use like Buffer, Google Drive, Dropbox, Google Tasks, right? But everything starts from Pocket. Jorge: Yeah, it sounds like Pocket is the collection bucket where everything goes in. Fabricio: Yeah. Jorge: Are you doing the tagging the moment that you save the link, or do you go back? Fabricio: I read an article and I'm like, “well, this would be a good tweet,” so I tag “tweet.” “This would be a great fit for the newsletter,” so I tag “newsletter,” right? So my brain is processing, knowing all the different contexts in which that article, post, whatever can be used. My brain is kind of making the… Almost like the mental mapping of where this could go. Jorge: You mentioned Google Tasks in there, what role does Google Tasks play? Fabricio: Oh, it's embarrassing. It's my brain. It's where I put all my to-do items. Like everything that I have to do, I save there, which is interesting. I mean, it's going to be silly, but even like getting a haircut is there every two weeks, three weeks. It's about habit-forming. So now I have this instinct that every time I think, “oh, yeah, I have to do that!,” my brain immediately connects to Google Tasks. So I open Google Tasks, and I write down whatever I have to do there. And then I can pick a specific date or due date, or I can make it recurring or not recurring. That's where I outsource a lot of my brain power my memory power, especially. Jorge: I don't think it's embarrassing at all. In fact, I think it corresponds to the drive you were describing earlier to create a physical environment that respects your attention. Fabricio: That's right. Jorge: Are you familiar with the work of David Allen? Fabricio: I'm not, no. Jorge: Getting Things Done? Fabricio: Oh, okay. I've seen something. Jorge: So in the Getting Things Done methodology or approach one of the things that Mr. Allen talks about is getting the tasks that you have to do out of your head and onto lists. Fabricio: Yeah. Jorge: And he uses this martial arts metaphor. He says, you want to have “mind like water” — where your mind is still, right? And you're not troubled by all this stuff rattling around in your head. And I think that that's a similar drive to what you were describing with the white walls in your apartment. Fabricio: Yeah, that's exactly right. Yeah. It's about having peace of mind so that I can focus on the right things throughout the day. Jorge: Great. So there's a third layer to this which is sharing the information back. And I'm particularly curious about how you and Caio collaborate on things like that end-of-year report. Fabricio: Yeah, not only the report, but also we get like 25 or 30 emails every day from authors; Medium writers submitting or pitching an article idea for UX Collective. So, that itself is a lot of work, and I'm so thankful to Caio for helping me manage that. We have a shared email address that is the blog's email address, and we are CC'ed on every exchange so we know the emails that the other person has responded or not. That helps a lot. We also have Gmail response template. I think they're called “canned responses” and that helps a lot, right? Because we have a response for, “Great, your article is approved! Here are the next steps.” We have a template for, “Well this article is not a good fit for reasons X, Y, & Z.” So there's a bunch of different templates we've created over the years, and that helps a lot because it takes away 95% of the work so we can focus on the more custom messages and the more custom article editing for specific articles. And then, the other tool in the third layer of putting content out that I use a lot is Buffer. I think I mentioned it briefly. It's this social media scheduling tool. I have my Twitter, I have the blog's Twitter, I have LinkedIn and Facebook and all the different social channels that I'm posting every day. But at the same time, I have a full-time job to keep up with, so I'm essentially pre-scheduling all the posts once a week, usually over the weekend. And then what it does is that it randomizes the times where it tweets something or where we post to LinkedIn something, and that helps a lot. Jorge: It sounds like you have built yourself a system that allows two people to really do a lot, right? Fabricio: Yeah. Jorge: What about the writing itself? Are you doing that directly on Medium or does it start somewhere else? Fabricio: That's usually on Medium. Yeah. I haven't found a way to automate that piece. So this is about really blocking some time, usually every Saturday morning for two or three hours. Sitting down with a good cup of coffee in silence and just writing. I usually use Medium for that because I love the interface and how simple it is. I'm usually writing two articles every week. Jorge: I'm tremendously impressed by the system that you have described, and I'm wondering what aspects of it are not working as well as you would like. Can you tell us about a time when the system failed? Fabricio: It fails quite often, but it's never a big fail. There are a couple of instances where maybe Caio and I respond to the same email because we forgot to CC our shared email address. There are little things like that. But it's not a problem because both of us are usually very aligned in terms of our editorial guidelines. So it's usually the same response that we sent to the author. Stepping back a little bit, what I consider a fail in this whole system is when I feel like I'm using too much time to do something that I could be automating more. This whole system is created around giving myself time. I feel like time is our most precious resource. It's not money; it's time. So, every couple of months I have this feeling that “oh my God, I'm spending like one hour every day to manage the blog. That's a lot of time!” You know, I want to use this time to spend with my family, with my friends, or just keeping my brain idle, or play video games, or whatever. So that's why I feel like the system is failing me: when all these tools and mechanisms are starting to take too much time. So then, when I see that's happening, what I usually do is I start to rethink how I'm spending each hour of my day. Take a look at my daily and weekly tasks to see if there's any opportunity to automate some of that work. Take a look at all at all the initiatives and all the commitments that I have running in parallel or the side projects to see if there's anything I need to stop doing. And that's usually when the cost-benefit is not as great as you used to be when I started that project. So I feel like every three to six months that's system starts to fail and then I have to take action to quickly recover from there. Jorge: Thank you so much, Fabricio. I think this is a good place to end it: on time. I am thankful for yours — for having shared your time with us. I'm very impressed and congratulate you on what you and Caio have built. Fabricio: Thank you for inviting me. And congratulations to you as well. I'm impressed with how you're able to keep up with your blog and how you're able to put out at least an article every day. I'm a big fan; a big follower. So here's a suggestion: you should do an episode talking about your own tools as well. Jorge: Interesting. We might do another one where we turn the tables. That will come in the future sometime. So tell the folks where they can find you and read more about your work. Fabricio: It's essentially at the UX Collective; that URL is uxdesign.cc. And our main project right now is our newsletter that we send out every week and you can access that on newsletter.uxdesign.cc. Jorge: Thank you so Fabricio, this has been great.
