5 thoughts for designers

Every day seems to bring new challenges, but some challenges remain constant:

1. You are being hired to solve problems, now solve them!
   
2. Don't use the level of "busyness" as a gauge for profitability.
3. It's your role to challenge assumptions.
4. You are never too busy for your best clients.
   
5. Resist the tyranny of the urgent and focus on your priorities.

Five quick things, but well worth remembering.
