⏳ Midjourneying to better design
Doing hard things, Apple design, inception
Hey there,
Today felt like a failure relative to how great the morning started. Got up early, started using Midjourney (see my first attempt at the bottom). However, as a result, think I was just tired which made me a bit pessimistic. Good gym session, sticking to my calorie limit, and watching 3 episodes of Foundation rescued the day to decent.

Progress:
✅ Played around with Midjourney
✅ Organised development tasks and timeline for project 004
Key thoughts of the day:
💎 “Doing hard things makes existence more fulfilling” - Nathaniel Drew
💎 Ken Kocienda (Apple designer) via Founders podcast on design - “Shallow Beauty in products does not serve people… form should follow function… objects should explain themselves”
💎 Most people do not change their minds when given a better argument. They much prefer to come up with the idea themselves. Inception is far better than persuasion. I really value people who are truly open minded but it comes with downsides too.
Kind regards,
Jay
P.S. Midjourney
Adding a Midjourney creation because it’s fun and I want to start using AI tools more reguiarly! (I did ask ChatGPT how to use Midjourney… my bad)
