So here is the plan for this week:

#1. Training - Become UX Designer from Scratch

#2. Blogging

#3. Redesign this Blog

Training - Become UX Designer from Scratch

I have already completed lesson 1 (What is UX ) and 2 (what to UX Designers Do) and I took notes also. Makes me question that since week # 45 will be empathise phase of design thinking where I will be taking interviews. Lesson five is all about portfolio creation. I guess I should start from lesson 5, because portfolio is the one and only goal till week # 52.

Lesson # 52 looks good, it seems once I have gone through it I will have a clear understanding on:

1. How to build UX portfolio
2. What assignment I need to build my portfolio.
3. Questions like : Do I need live project? Do i need a team etc

Lets spend a one full day with Lesson # 52 and see where it takes us. This should be tackled earlier in the week.

Blogging

I am writing my journey but I think its time to blogs about core UX stuff. Things that I have learned. So the whole idea is that I can have two blogs. One of the company blog and other is the this one. What I post here can be cross posted to company blog in future. Here are two blog posts which I think will be good :

#1. What is UX Design?

#2. Why UX Design ?

#3 UX Deliverables (Optional)

By writing this I am also getting prepared for sales. This should help me practice how I can convince a startup owner to pursue UX design.

Redesign Blog

Here are the goals for redesigning this blog:

1. Decide where Portfolio site to be hosted. Can it live on root of my existing Github account? Lesson # 5 should help gain clarity.

2. Redesign Goals: MySecondLife:

   a. Photos should take precedence

   b. Better font

   c. Medium Styled

   d. Responsiveness

Is this Attainable Goal for Week?

In priority order UX Portfolio is highest priority. Lets reserve two days for it. Blogging is a good self investment I don’t mind spending 1.5 day writing blog posts above. Redesigning of Blog shouldn’t take more than one day. The shortest path to do this will be find a free theme which meets my need and implement it. If it doesn’t work than continue with whatever I have now.

Ok I am set with plan and order to tackle as well. Let’s keep going.
