Stop reading, start doing
People ask what a good reading list is for our interdiscipline.
But I like to be the contrarian.
I say stop reading.
Take an interaction.
It can be any interaction but preferably human-machine interface.
Take it apart.
Figure out what is the desired path.
Figure out where things can or do go wrong.
Put it back together again.
Take notes.
Figure out how to improve the interaction.
Test it with other humans besides yourself.
Repeat with many many others.
