Whenever confronted with anything complex/overwhelming, find it useful to break it down into small elements/goals/prioritize/confirm.

Compartmentalizing and breaking down into smaller elements always helps for me so definitely going to try and do that more often. Also helps that it feels nice to complete small tasks

The MECE framework is something I just started to learn about. More consultancy, but finding it good to implement on my projects. Mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive. Get all the topics that do not overlap and address each part in its segment.

ooh! Definitely going to have to look more into this and try to implement in my day to day. Hadn't heard about this before so glad I'm getting to learn about it

Im a RN and took on a new role working in Home Health. I chose this position because My husband & I recently moved to PA with our 2 kids (1&3), with no family available for his residency program with a hospital. If you know that life, I’m pretty much the main parent for our kids. I don’t want to work in the hospital/floor work anymore; nor do I believe the hrs are flexible enough. I need a job that’s flexible for the kids but pays >$44/hr. Maybe remote or hybrid? Please help w/ suggestions.

Hello friends,
I wanted to share that I am in my first job as ui/ux expert and I am the only ux/ui person in the team. I am expected to take care of entire research and design of the product. It becomes very overwhelming as the product that I am working on is in a early phase and I am expected to think about ui as well as ux and also design entire app on my own.There is no user interview or user testing happening as my project manager thinks it can be done after product is launched. Please help!
