Have a look at this the next time your ready for some deep read­ing and crit­i­cal think­ing. The Manual is a design jour­nal that explores what it means to design for the web and why we design. Their first suc­cess­ful Kickstarter put them in print; now they are run­ning anoth­er cam­paign to open up their pub­lish­ing and expand pro­duc­tion to mul­ti­ple platforms.

My favorite arti­cle so far is Practicing Passion by Tiffani Jones Brown. It’s a pow­er­ful, per­son­al look at over­com­ing the fear of medi­oc­rity and find­ing the love for some­thing. *Hint: it’s prac­tice.* It was def­i­nite­ly the per­fect read to keep me moti­vat­ed this week and to keep pow­er­ing through projects. Especially this gem of a paragraph.

If you want to have pas­sion for your work then do what your coach­es told you: set chal­leng­ing goals for your­self every day, work hard to achieve them, and eval­u­ate how you did at the end. Structure it in a way that makes absorp­tion pos­si­ble. Do it, in other words. Then do it some more.
