Warum Geistesblitze nicht aus dem Nichts kommen 🌩️

„Alter Wein in neuen Schläuchen!“ Dieser Vorwurf wird oft zu Recht gerade an die Ratgeberliteratur im Bereich #ProductivityPorn gerichtet. Darum wende ich mich gerne den „Klassikern“ des Genres zu. Heute habe ich mir Graham Wallas Werk „The Art of Thought“ von 1926 vorgenommen.

Wer Lösungen für anspruchsvolle Fragen finden will – ob im Beruf, im Studium oder im Alltag –, muss wissen, wie dieser Denkprozess funktioniert. Dabei geholfen hat mir ein Denker, der schon vor fast hundert Jahren genau das beschrieben hat: Graham Wallas. Sein Modell der kreativen Problemlösung hat mich beeindruckt.

1. Preparation – Die Vorarbeit
2. Incubation – Das unbewusste Arbeiten
3. Illumination – Der Moment der Einsicht
4. Verification – Die kritische Prüfung

Ich habe viel aus diesem Modell gelernt. Vor allem: Geduld zu haben.

Well, here's something I never thought I'd do: meticulously plan a UI in Sketch. As someone who lives in the systems/backend, I've always found this part of development tedious.
But for this new React 19/Tailwind project, I'm doing it right. And... I think I'm starting to like it? Finally understanding why we need tools like this. It's clicking.

Or its the magic of Scrimba, who knows?

@marix1 design thinking works. At least that‘s true for Enterprise Design Thinking by IBM. It introduces „The Loop“ with its phases Observe, Reflect and Make. If you skip Make then what you get is Analysis Paralysis — and no measurable results. If you do all 3 repetitively and iteratively then in my experience you see outcomes for your clients and users that are markedly better. Learn more on ibm.com/design/thinking #design #designthinking

Yes, wrong understood and wrong applied methodic approaches don't work.

I was over several years multiple times involved in design thinking driven Initiatives.

Sure, we tried to involve early the as-is process and technical situation. And for sure we put the real users to the center and involved the employees with deep kownledge about the subject.

There was a result about the "what" to do. But the link to the real "how" was missing.

MIT Technology Review · Design thinking was supposed to fix the world. Where did it go wrong?By Rebecca Ackermann

🌟 How Multisensory Architecture is Redefining Spaces 🌿🎶✨

Have you ever walked into a building and felt an instant sense of calm, energy, or connection—without knowing why? It might be the power of multisensory design at work!

Interesting article, “Multisensory Architecture: Designing Beyond the Visual”, which challenges the traditional visual-centric approach to architecture. Instead, it emphasizes designing spaces that engage touch, sound, smell, and even taste to create deeply immersive human experiences.

This got me thinking:

🔹 How can architects and designers prioritize senses like sound or texture without compromising aesthetics?

🔹 What spaces have YOU encountered that left a lasting emotional (not just visual) impression?

🔹 Could multisensory design improve accessibility for people with visual impairments?

🔹 Would you incorporate scent or tactile materials into your projects? Why/why not?
