Personal Kanban by Jim Benson & Tonianne DeMaria Barry

 The summary of this book, in short, is about achieving efficiency and productivity with something very visual and easy to incorporate methods/ processes in your life.

"Personal Kanban resonated with me on different levels. It made me realize how many expectations I place on myself to accomplish within a short span of time."

Completing these tasks seemed very difficult without understanding the hidden effort involved and strategically adjusting my plans to accomplish a particularly cumbersome task. I have been using Kanban boards for professional tasks, but applying the same Kanban to personal tasks helped me grasp the concept on a much more personal level. To better understand and apply this knowledge, I have created a Kanban board and managing my personal tasks on it. This book provided me with clarity about many aspects of myself that I hadn't fully understood before.

#5_ Digital Sketching Industrial design center

Click for more on Illustrations I had the most precious and unforgettable moments of my life at my design school,  IDC, Bombay . Those were the days of relentless deadlines, where day and night dissolved into a singular focus—my project and the lively atmosphere of the classroom.  This is the sketch of how IDC looks like in   2010, Oct. There wrecked lot of changes that happen after sustainability and accessibility conference. Building of ramp for people with special needs find the ramp very helpful afterwards. The vibrant activities at the Main Ground and my sneaky class bunks for sports events added a spark of adventure to those times. I cherished my bicycle rides, feeling like a free bird gliding under the green, towering, shady trees. Cycling through the Infinity Corridor at night felt magical, especially when fate led to an unexpected encounter with a professor on the very day I decided to bunk. :P Below is the digital sketch created by me for Students work website ...

[UX#25]_What & why of Product Adoption & Appropriation?

Image
  The above images are ChatGPT AI generated for exploration on the "Crossing the chasm" book concepts. My intention of doing so is to document, explore and learning Ai image bot. During my UX learning on Adoption and Appropriation from Interaction-Design.org , I gained a fresh perspective on users—particularly through the concepts of useful (usability), usable, and used . These principles form the foundation for understanding how products succeed from both a marketing perspective and in terms of ROI , based on actual user adoption. The concept of "Adoption" highlights that when users find a product useful, they naturally integrates into their workflow, leading to higher usability. However, an adopted product doesn’t have a uniform user base—it segments into different adopter categories. This is where Geoffrey Moore’s book, Crossing the Chasm , explains the adoption lifecycle, categorizing users into: Innovators Early Adopters Early Majority Late Majority Laggar...

Relentless Hard work as an Art Student Click for Illustrations page  Pencil on paper  &    Dry pastels  During my first and second year, I remember practicing intensely, completely immersing myself in my work as if the rest of the world didn’t exist. It felt like entering a deeply meditative state.   During my first and second year, I remember practicing with deep focus, completely absorbed in my work, as if nothing else existed. It was a state of pure immersion—almost meditative. Title : Two Sisters Oil On canvas "Two Sisters" is my second oil on canvas in 3nd year of arts college. I am very excited to do this. I am thinking of painting it like Van Gogh Style. My style is quite much changed from the first one. I think its the after effects of learning great artists works and style.  I was a bit more confident in this one and put oil colors with more of freedom, actually all over the place which was quite unexpected.
