Anchor 2: Embrace the marathon mindset
Summary
Time to talk about our second anchor: Embrace the marathon mindset. I'll show you why balancing short-term wins with long-term vision is crucial in our field. Here's what I cover:
What I mean by "fierce pragmatism" and why it's your new best friend
A personal story about how I implemented a design system incrementally (and why it worked)
How to apply this mindset in your day-to-day work (because theory is great, but application is everything)
Breaking down those big, hairy goals into manageable steps
Why this mindset isn't just about product design - it's about your career too
