    How do I correct my bad behaviors, so I do not lose anymore good jobs?

    859 votes. Asked by Vickie Wickard on . View more.

     I know I have a problem keeping my mouth shut at work. I have been fired several times for the same thing. I work in Human Resources and I am sure that is not the right place for me with the problem I have with keeping my mouth shut. I get emotionally involved with the employees and if it’s a small issue, by the time I am done talking to them I have found a way to enlarge it and make more of it than it needs to be. I exaggerate when speaking with employees about things that are confidential. I feel that my problem is lack of self worth and I need to engage in the exaggerated gossip, so that I seem bigger, and better than I think I am. I know when I’m doing it, but can’t mentally stop my self. I am now unemployed again, and before my boss let me go, he stated that I have a lot of really great qualities. I am a very friendly positive person towards the employees, but when it comes to some of the garbage that goes on in the office I seem to dwell on it and can’t keep shut about it. I do not know if this is part of my mental illness or something else. I have had depression and have been on medication for 30 years. I need help. I am in my late 50’s and do not know if at my age I can get another job. I am scared to, because I know what the end results will be. What can I do to keep me from sabotaging myself again?

I can go on and on about what I know, have been looking at everything very intensely since 2011, when I got caught up in a very illegal court case down in AZ. I currently live in OR. Fled up here. You all do not have a clue as to what is ogoing on in the rest of the US. All very scary.

    I do know there is a way forward, but it will have to come from the ground up and I am not of any politics, or religion as they both are very agenda driven and broken.

    I have read this:

    Which one is better, make people think, or give them fully worked answers?

    458 votes. Asked by Zsolt Fabok on . View more.

    The book “Don’t Make me Think” argues that in order to have better websites or products we have to make interfaces that don’t make the people think. I often wonder whether it is a good approach with people. At the moment I work with “fast” people, and I think they don’t want to think because that takes time and according to them they don’t have much for this (I don’t know why). On the other hand without thinking we cannot have good discussions because they always response with the sentence “I don’t understand this…” because they don’t think about the proposal (it is clearly visible from the time difference between the received and sent times).

    From which "angle" do i write my book?

    353 votes. Asked by Mrs Janetta Burridge on . View more.

     Hello Scott,

    When i left school back in good old 1989, my english teacher said to me, “I expect to see your name on a book soon.” Which i took as a compliment, and at the age of 22yrs old (ish!), i did indeed write a book, i chose fiction, as my english teacher said “i have great imagination, with detail”, i have yet to fully “put it to paper”, because when i sit down, start typing away, it just rolls on, im telling a story, i dont actually feel like im getting the reader really interested in it. I have gone back to it occasionally and read it, and started to change bits, whole chapters sometimes, I suppose i could say it lacks substance. Im not sure on whether to tell it from one of the main characters view, or as the author, thinking it may add something like a new angle to it. Im now 43yrs old…and its about time i got on with it ! Any advice?

    What is your opinion on the value of Sketchnotes?

    346 votes. Asked by Daniel H. (Germany) on . View more.

    I stumble on sketchnotes every now and then in blogs – see
    https://scottberkun.com/2011/how-wordpress-com-is-made/
    as an example.

    Often I find them rather meaningless and feel that a short written summary would have been a lot more helpful (an example is probably your TED talk post – see https://scottberkun.com/2013/saving-your-creative-soul/ and compare the sketchnote to the content a short written summary with the same space would have had). In some cases, sketchnotes seem to be completely meaningless visual clutter – see http://www.duarte.com/blog/the-visual-thinking-revolution-is-here/ for an example (I actually tried to extract some kind of message from the sketchnote for several minutes and failed completely).

    On the other hand I found it highly helpfull to have small diagrams and sketches together with my own notes. So my criticism mainly is towards sketchnotes as a tool for communicating information to others.

    Most interestingly – while there is a lot of criticism on meaningless powerpoint slides and diagrams, I haven’t seen anyone bash sketchnotes. A google search for “sketchnotes criticism”, “bad sketchnotes” or comparable terms fails to find blog posts or whatsoever with sceptic views towards them.

    So I wonder – what do you think about Sketchnotes, Scott?

    How could a design process be effected if the name of the process-phases was focusing on feelings rather than action?

    305 votes. Asked by Theresia Torenholt on . View more.

    In my last project about embodied technology, i reflected upon my process as have been an act of play rather than a typically thought design process of building of a product.

    *Design thinking phases (here Ideo): discovery – interpretation – ideation – experimentation – evolution (wording of action)
    **The 7 element of play: anticipation – surprise – pleasure – understanding – strength – poise (wording of feelings)
    Non of these phases and elements should be seen individually, as you hopefully mess up the chronology while working with them.

    Need to say that my process was highly focusing on the element of exploring and personally having fun while learning new technologies, but I was also conducting interviews, observations, interventions and testing to constantly improve the existing prototype and idea and in the end create something new and fun for others.
    As my own process was mainly driven by the words ‘fun and play’, i found inspiration from Scott G. Eberle elements of play, as a means to explain my process. I found the wording very liberating, because they were not dictating the actions that i was to do, but more focusing on how i felt during the process.

    As this was a reflection i did in the end of my project periode, i would like to get your thoughts on how you think feeling-based wording could affect f.eks. a workshop where you through design-thinking empower others to strengthen their innovation skills. And also, I would very much like your thoughts on which feelings you would highlight in that regard.

    All the best,
    Theresia Torenholt

    Did people skim books before the invention of the Internet, the way they now admit they skim on computers?

    198 votes. Asked by Sean Crawford on . View more.

    I’m smart enough to have a degree, but in my head I’m not a “computer guy.”
    At first I was astonished to learn how so many admit on the web to skimming. Now I’m used to it.
    Someone once tried to compliment Roger Ebert’s by saying Ebert’s journal blog was the only thing he didn’t skim. Given that Ebert was an avid reader, I doubt he was altogether pleased, and neither was I. Maybe most people were always like this, and I just never noticed, or maybe nerds specifically have minds so quick they’ve never learned the pleasure of slowing down. Or maybe anecdotal wisdom is right, and we are losing our attention spans, especially if we have computers or devices.

    I don’t know if there is any research you can access, but maybe your computer friends and your thinking and your splendid common sense (splendid in your on-line life, at least) could be used to gently bridge the gap of the two ways of reading. 

    What sparked me to finally ask this question was a current collection of essays called The Edge of the Precipice. (Open it at page 72)

    Realm of theoretic meta-models vs. Solutions:

    196 votes. Asked by Daniel H. (germany) on . View more.

    I’m working on a Ph.D thesis and this has been bugging me for a while:

    It is quite easy to get lost in the realm of theory and metamodels: To build up a meta-model of whatever you are trying to do and come up with a lot of theoretical explanations and different chains of thought to build up and explain all your ideas. It appears as if the further away from practical work (or actual problemsolving, however you want to call it) something is, the more likely it is to get lost in this “trail of ideas”.

    In discussions, I often encounter things like “meta-models for the process of innovation” and completely fail to understand how they can actually help me getting stuff done and why people can spend hours arguing about how the meta-models should be arranged and refinded.
    Rather intuitively, I’ve decided to work on my own research topic by looking for problems and questions which are attached to my topic and then try to solve them – if I come up with a handy tool or method which does work on actual problems, I try to generize it and try it on other problems. This has lead to a nice, working set of tools and also has kept me from getting lost in the “realm of theory”.

    Now, my questions are:
    – Can you think of topics / areas where “theoretical thinking” is superior to “problem-based thinking, later generized”? Philosophy? Theoretical physics?
    – Is it justified to ask “what is this good for / how good is this at helping me solve problem XY” whenever you are confronted with a metamodel? At all times? Are there exceptions?
    – Are there things you can suggest from your own experience? What is your own optionion on the topic?

    As a blogger you have very little control over how people interpret your article once it has been published.

I found their comments amusing yet pretty intense considering it was a silly article on dating (imagine if I had wrote about something politcal).

    Is there more reference material on your post "Why project managers get no respect"

    181 votes. Asked by Umeet Bhachu on . View more.

     HI Scott, I enjoyed reading your blog about “why project managers get no respect” published back in 2008. I wholeheardtly concur with the premise that many project managers or students of project management get bogged down and tied with the process rather than the output. They are usually busy creating and tracking lists and paper work that might not really help in achieving the goal in the first place which is to complete the project with-in time, cost and schedule and in addition to keep the team motiviated and determined. The task of project managers is becoming more akin to lawyers who addressing or targeting a project from a legal standpoint (i.e paper work, recording details they are not relevent to the final result and negotating contracts, etc) which would typically fall into the relam of contract admistration or legal…not project management….

    I would wondering if you had further reserach or crediable articles supporting your view about this premise. Would much appreciate.

Our country is falling behind other developed countries and if we don’t do something about it, our status, and therefore our standard of living, will suffer drastically in the near future (it has already started). Why have we not been able to solve the problem of educating our children? The solution is not rocket science, yet we are unable to accomplish the task to ensure our future.

     I noticed you majored in “computer science and design” (your website), I plan to major in Computer Science but am also interested in some of the topics you discuss. How did you transition from Computer science to talking about creativity?

    Is it possible to teach creativity?

     Can people be taught creativity in schools and if so, how? Given the standardized testing and ‘no child left behind’ pressures on schools, how will teachers be able to implement, sy, some of John Cleese’s ideas about creativity in their classrooms?
