#40 Do you have high goals or unrealistic expectations for your UX career?
What’s the difference?
➡️ High goals (ideally just one so you can focus) can motivate you, show results, provide learning opportunities, and are trackable.
➡️ Unrealistic expectations create chaos and lower your morale. They might seem ambitious and “fancy,” but I doubt they help deliver consistent results.
Which one do you lean towards?
P.S. Parenting has been the hardest role I’ve had so far. My kids show me every day that I might have unrealistic expectations—of them and myself. Managing daily challenges with them helps me focus on just one high goal to achieve with them.
