  3. Juxtaviews - » David Seah - Interview

    [...] When I first started publishing these designs, I wasn’t sure if people would find them innovative or stupid. The first benefit to me has been a surge of confidence that I am on the right track, which gives me the courage to push the envelope. Sometimes I end up with something maybe a little too out there—my Index Card Scabbard is perhaps one of those missteps The feedback has also been useful in adapting the forms for other use, when have the time and the motivation. If someone asks me nicely, I’llgenerally try to make a new variation; it’s always educational. I also see it as a form of research; all these forms and ideas and posts are bits of some kind of software or paper system. I’m clarifying the elements of my thinking process as I create. The feedback and commentary help refine them further. A lot of the ideas I have are rooted in the psychology of a task rather than the surface requirements; that’s a difference I think between how I design versus what someone else might do. So when someone posts a comment or releases a variation of their own, I get a look into the way that person thinks, which is valuable insight to gain. Eventually, I notice patterns, and THAT gives me some traction on what the mass audience might be looking for. In the meantime, though, I focus on making things that I like that work. [...]

  7. David Seah is sooooo da man… » Play Like a Girl

    [...] One of my favorite blogs for productivity inspiration (and some uber-cool forms for task management and time tracking) is David Seah. I was a fan before today, but he’s now totally outdone himself and taken on the status of Productivity-Grand-Master-Poobah-of-the-Universe with his Gauntlet of Productivity. I don’t know whether to run screaming in terror, or to run out and get the supplies to make one for myself! [...]
