The Layout #27
A layout of design highlights and thoughts
Welcome to The Layout #27. The substack about design that makes life a little easier with fun insights and key resources for you to level up. Now, let’s get on with it.
Clarity is Key
Clarity is essential to reaching certain goals or achievements. It is basically when certain tasks or functions that we are meant to do today or when due are easily done due to lack of confusion and a renewed focus which helps in creating innovative and unique solutions for those tasks.
How do we gain clarity? By asking questions. Asking questions lets you dig deeper into the underlying assumptions of a problem. It creates also an empathetic connection to that problem by giving you a perspective that gives you a different point of view which makes the task or problem easy to comprehend.
Asking questions makes you gain clarity and these questions can't just be surface-level questions but they must dig deeper into the problem so that they can be resolved with clarity.

You may never reach the ideal but it has to be close.
Idealism may be seen with dread these days but the key is to look at it as a north star. A certain perfection that guides us to achieve and do our all in the face of adversity to achieve greatness. The common criticism is that it's impossible and it can lead to adverse consequences but in the end, we must strive for something.
Why can't we aim for something that looks impossible but is achievable? The key is to always fly too close to the moon or take a wild shot in the hopes of reaching the top. You might not make it but you will get a lot closer and that's all that matters. Maybe, in the end, you might actually achieve the ideal.
