Over the past month I've picked up the habit of starting my day with an inspirational work and then before dinner reading something work-releated. Here's some takeaways I've gotten from those reading sessions.
How to Stop Worrying and Start Living (opens in a new tab)
This is the book I start my day with. Life can be overwhelming at times for anyone and I feel that this book puts things into perspective for me. I'm always a bit more relaxed after reading this. It's also a great resource for inspiration for UX mindsets that I can apply at work.
The book has a great four step technique to analyze and solve worry problems.
-
Writing down precisely what I am worrying about.
-
Writing down what I can do about it.
-
Deciding what to do.
-
Starting immediately to carry out that decision
