Anchor 5: Practice just-in-time learning
Summary
In this video, I'm breaking down our fifth anchor: Practice just-in-time learning. I'll show you why this approach is crucial for designers working at warp-speed. Here's what I cover:
How just-in-time learning helped me combat imposter syndrome
The gym analogy: why consistent practice beats cramming
Why it's impossible (and unnecessary) to know everything in our rapidly evolving field
The origins of just-in-time production at Toyota and how it applies to learning
A personal story about how I applied just-in-time learning when I became a design lead
Practical ways to apply this anchor in your work, from identifying immediate needs to creating a learning backlog
Why this approach is crucial for staying lean and responsive in warp-speed design
