All progress takes place outside the comfort zone.

Learn something new

Learning’s good for you. It’s as simple as that. If you stop learning you’re in trouble. Lots of trouble.

Start a new skill. Read a new book. Listen to podcasts. Ask questions on Quora. Talk to someone who knows more than you. Read Medium articles. Note down what you’ve learnt. Write articles on what you’ve learnt. Pass on the knowledge.

Without learning you lose inspiration. Without inspiration you’ll struggle to be creative. Without creativity there’s no progress…

…you get the point.

I spend a fair bit of my time reading, writing, asking questions and listening. This is all meant to make me a better designer.

From my research, I’ve collated a list of online courses that are worth a look. I’ve deliberately made the subject matter broader than the normal UX topics. It’s important to have a broad knowledge for design. Jared Spool believes the more a a designer learns about non-design things, the better. I agree.

Bookmark this page, use it when you feel like digging into something new. Keep the old grey matter ticking along…

…and become a better design in the process.

I’ll show you online courses covering:

UX Design · UX Strategy · Interaction Design · Design Thinking · User-Centred Design Canvas · Prototyping · Information Architecture · Usability Testing · User Research · Visual Design · Code · Development Skills · Data · Content Optimisation and Strategy · Writing · Drawing · Marketing · Innovation · Freelance work · Interviews · Public Speaking & Storytelling · UX deliverables · Leadership · LinkedIn.
