In an effort to help me keep up with everything I post each week, here is my latest “Sunday Summary” of my posts from the week.

Mon, September 4: Norman Doors are everywhere
Bad design is all around us, and you’ve likely come across a “Norman Door” almost every day of your life.

Tue, September 5: Decentralized Command
The more that leaders can allow others to make decisions for themselves, the better off everyone is.

Wed, September 6: Good design is hard to notice
We notice things in life that are poorly designed, but the good stuff tends to just blend in.

Thu, September 7: Strive for it anyhow
There are things in my life that I’m unlikely to achieve, but I’ll reach for them anyhow because the real benefits are in the efforts.

Fri, September 8: Too much feedback is a problem
Providing feedback is essential, whether it’s from a client with thoughts on a design or from a tool with an error message, but too much feedback in either case can be unhelpful.

Sat, September 9: Obsidian “properties” to help you sort your stuff
I use Obsidian for my note-taking, and their new “properties” feature is amazingly helpful.

I hope you found some value in this. If you ever have questions, ideas, or disagreements regarding anything I write, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
