Everyone will tell you to read a bunch of books or look at how others use your product.

There is a simple secret to a great UX.

USE YOUR OWN PRODUCT.

Ignore designers, they have no idea what a UX is about. Pretty != Workflow. Workflow is king.

Find something you do all the time that takes 5 steps. Make it 1.

Find something that annoys you? Fix it.

Find something that's slow? Make it fast.

Find something that confuses you? Make it clearer.

That's all you need for a good UX.

That’s funny. The first message I got from my mentor was “Good design is more than making something look pretty.”
