For the design community to truly flourish here, we must move beyond chasing speed, validation, or earnings. Design is a practice, an intentional pursuit. Instead of infatuating over something new, fast, or viral, ask if it’s thoughtful, inevitable, and true.

Do I know anyone at Intercom or a CRM tool developer who would talk to me about how customers manage call-lists of customers? Am working on this in the context of primary care patient management and could use advice.

I'm loving using "DO-ITS" notes by @cameronmoll. They're simple, Post-It notes that you fill out each morning to focus on your key daily tasks. Very effective.

One of our engineers wrote a thoughtful article about how public health challenges can be framed using "Systems Thinking" @AtharvaRaykar simple.org/blog/a-systems…

dburka's tweet card. A technologists’ skill set of crafting scalable solutions works well on notoriously hard problems like public health. The way to make it approachable is to adopt ‘systems thinking’.

Good advice to start the year. Obviously it's easy to say "don't care what others think" but it's worth pushing through to get your early and imperfect work into the wild.

JJordan Singer@jsngr · Jan 1

in 2025 i’d encourage young designers to - share more unfiltered work, publicly, consistently - don’t care what others think - build that idea of yours that you’ve already designed. it’s easier than you think
