🗃 3 Resources
📃 Article - Three Levels of Pain Points in Customer Experience
Here's what I learned from reading this article:
Pain points are problems that occur at the different levels of the customer experience: interaction level, customer-journey level, or relationship level.
Pain points can cost the user in a few ways: time, interaction costs, cognitive load, loss of trust.
Pain points should be prioritized over random feature requests where feasible as they are more important for the customer.

🔨 Tool - Neumorphism.io

Neumorphism.io is a free tool that allows you to generate the CSS behind Neumorphic box shadows. This is a useful tool to bookmark as achieving a Neumorphic design in CSS can be quite tricky.
🔨 Resource - Smashing Magazine

Smashing Magazine is a super helpful online magazine for designers and web developers. There are so many categories on the website but I recommend focusing on the Design category for starters.
🎨 2 Design Tips
Use clear table headings
Don't assume the user knows that TKT means Ticket ID or Add means address.
Use consistent button styles
It improves speed and accuracy and will avoid errors.
For most websites, you'll want 1 primary + 1 secondary button style.

How To Make Your Productivity Systems More Efficient
How we live our lives and the systems we use to keep on top of things are always changing.
As we find new helpful nuggets of advice, we adopt those into our systems to try and be more productive, less busy, or happier.
With that said, it can be challenging enough to define the areas we are struggling with, never mind coming up with an effective solution and implementing it.
I’m writing this article to share with you the process of how I identified my “productivity bottlenecks”, determined an effective solution, and implemented that solution so that I could work more effectively.
