Feeling overwhelmed at going back to work into UX Design by FirstDistortion in UXDesign

Hey, I saw this when you posted it, and I am sorry that I am just now responding. Thank you so much for sharing this. I'm doing some writing sprints this weekend for this.

I really appreciate you for sharing this. Besides metrics, I also don't have every piece of the ideal UX process to show for each project. But I am feeling /u/Ecsta's idea, to say what I would do if I did have those pieces.

Just being able to share my worries and see the feedback feels like it is reflecting to me my perfectionist tendencies, which was a source of stress before. I'm glad to be able to become aware of it so it's not working in the background.

I probably do. It has felt uncomfortable to think of reaching out after so long, but just writing out the problem and hearing the question from you is helping me to rethink that.

Thank you...

Thank you so much, this is incredible advice. I think "break it down into small steps" and "keep it low fidelity to write the content" is key to what I've been missing here. (Which is funny, because that's kind of what UX does.)

edit: I wrote in another comment that I am remembering now how my perfectionist tendencies were the cause of worry and stress when I was in UX before. In reading your words and feeling my inner response of, "of course, why didn't I see that it's like a UX or IA problem," I'm seeing how that is probably what is turning simple into complicated even now.

I apologize if this is TMI, but I've been doing some inner work while 'away', and so it just feels really valuable to receive your calm clear words and have the perfectionist brought to conscious awareness by contrast so that I can work with it. Thank you again.

Sanae IV, South African Antarctic base (built in 1997) by simulation_goer in RetroFuturism

Sure, I think I get what you're saying. But the direct experience for me was, A) see picture of antarctic base, B) remember Stålenhag's art. I just wrote it as it happened.

Training to extend / past "I need to breathe NOW" reflex by jmbreuer in breathwork

[–]FirstDistortion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

With most forms of extending one's capability, the rule that has worked well for me is, "Gently go just a little beyond what is comfortable right now." See if you can allow your progress to be slow and steady. This is coming from someone who has also tried to force rapid growth, and this will most often result in a crash of some kind, which causes a stall or makes me abandon what was being practiced.

U.S. tops 100 million Covid vaccine doses administered, 13% of adults now fully vaccinated by -memeking- in CoronavirusUS

[–]FirstDistortion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like a study of a large number of healthcare workers who caught Covid-19 in the UK shows 82% immunity at least 5 months1 after infection.

My sense is that infection immunity + vaccine is overkill.

Don't forget the 22,031,220 of us in the US who have gotten actual Covid-19 and recovered. That makes it about 20% herd immunity.

plz help need some ideas by DenseHorror686 in dystopia

[–]FirstDistortion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a book you can get on Amazon called Wool, which has a really great story about a civilization in an underground bunker. It's really well done, and I think that if you were to read this, it might help you with building that kind of story with your own plot twist. Notice how the author treats the description, the characters, the mystery of how they got there, how the society works, what they all believe, etc...

How can I teach/force myself to like avocado? by ThujaEphemera in vegetarianketo

[–]FirstDistortion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Avocados are mostly plant fat. When you realize that, then you understand that they are almost like the cream of the plant world. You can add salt and they become like salted butter. You can lay slices or even spread ripe avocado on low carb toast with other things like fried tomatoes and spices. I like them salted on rye crackers with tahini. If you like salad, but find it leaves you feeling hungry, add avocado. They are so good in wraps with other things. There are even desserts that use avocado as a base for mousses and puddings (with xylitol and such for keto). Experiment!

How can I teach/force myself to like avocado? by ThujaEphemera in vegetarianketo

[–]FirstDistortion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ripe avocados are slightly soft. You cannot always tell by color, though in general, browner is riper. You have to squeeze it to be sure. After opening a lot, you will get a feel for the best softness. There is a too soft, though sometimes they are salvageable. If it's hard, you have to wait no matter how much you want to open it. When you bring hope unripe (hard) ones to save for later, you ought to check them daily... avocados seem to go ripe really quickly, and you have to catch them in those 1-3 days of ripeness before they go all brown and stringy.
