In design design, it is also a creation to say how familiar things become unfamiliar

Muji Art Director of the original research in the design design, said "the familiar things how to become unfamiliar is also a creation." Indeed, it is a challenge to clean up the already familiar and messy home but because the product has been done for a long time will begin to look at things, no one like the messy life, and a lot of people do not put the home is because of the unreasonable design, in the time and space arrangements did not take into account the optimal settings. So, from the angle of "rationality", I consider the whole room as a product design to return to the position. The picture is for my writing desk.

The first step is to allow high-frequency items to return to high frequency space

An app or Web site, usually if you don't know what you're doing at the first glance, it's a failure. Home set Jiangshan, an app only a core, all the students are in a core, on the basis of the home page extension. One of the biggest problems that a primary product manager can easily make is that "good-looking" is better than "practical" and "logical" is better than "experience is reasonable".

Similarly, move this logic to the process of cleaning up the family, many people do not go to the home to "fit" but toward the "photo to the circle of friends will be very good-looking" angle to clean up, so when they put the home after the inevitable will again fall into the mire of chaos, repeated reincarnation.

Why do we need to consider the rationality of goods and space placement? The answer is that the average family is not tyrants, so there is limited space. This is like the mobile phone end of the app design more and more inch gold, the design of the app must be more and more careful to put the main function to the main area. The above sentence in the tidying up the room becomes the "high frequency items in the most accessible space position", for example, I analyzed the most frequently used items in my room is the water cup, so I will empty out two special positions for my water cup, one is the bed and one is the table. Of course, the empty position here means that every time there is a vacancy, so that other things for the water cup out of the necessary seats, rather than every time the cup to put the other items to move away, so that those low-frequency infrequently moving items as far as possible away from high-frequency space. In other words, I want to set aside at least two fixed positions for my water cup.

is not the Water Cup set aside two places, this is the product design? I want you to stop spitting and hear me out. The next step is to continue to derive the time, when you analyze the first "object" and "space" after the relationship, you can then take the frequency and space priority to consider everything else, and then you can put everything to its place. For example, my next high-frequency items are ipad,kindle, mobile phones and so on, I also need to leave a fixed space for them. So I will now set aside at least the space on the table, dedicated to put them, so not every time littering, to avoid the bed on the floor in the drawer will appear at any time.

The reason why the room is so messy is that there are too many high-frequency items that can be moved arbitrarily and because of our own thinking chaos did not give them the right space, so that low-frequency items occupy high frequency items space, resulting in our room a mess, high-frequency mobile items will continue to disrupt space, and space back to make everything more chaotic.

So the first step is to think,

First, what is a high frequency item that can be moved at any time?

Second, what is your high frequency contact space?

Third, how to allocate space? Let these high-frequency objects correctly occupy high-frequency space, so that low-frequency items away from high-frequency space.

This is the first step of cultivation, the ability to analyze from a representational to an abstract.

The second step is to find a reasonable space for the low-frequency items

One of the biggest reasons a product manager makes a product worse is that it's primary and secondary, everything wants to do, everything is greedy, and then those features that are weak in user demand are placed in a position tied to the main function, resulting in no user paying.

So the second thing we have to do is retrieving, the first is to admit that space is limited, the second is to admit that some things are really you do not use, you can put up, or even throw away. The road is interlinked, constantly "broken off".

There are many possibilities to define the low-frequency items here, which are divided into two categories: "Can be thrown away" and "must be retained".

For example, some still have two years before the expiration of cold medicine, you do not have a cold when placed on the table is unreasonable, but these drugs must be retained, you need to enter the low-frequency space, such as a drawer in a box.

In your closet, for example, only one or two times of clothing, which is in essence the low-frequency items, and "can be thrown away", put there will only hinder space.

In general, people hoarding desire is very strong, psychological research results show that the loss of 100 yuan is far greater than the pain of 100 yuan to achieve happiness. So it's hard to let them lose something that's not necessary, but that's where you need to cultivate.

This and do product is also interlinked, we always have a bunch of ideas, product managers will be in the brain a lot of very rubbish idea, and hold, and finally to the market can only defeat. This is the lack of "break away" ability, always hold this is my good idea of persistent, inevitable tumble.

I've had a lot of falls on my product, so I began to understand this more and more, so I was cleaning up the room when I threw away a lot of clothes, old clothes, not good-looking toys, expired calendar, half bad headphones, good time bad data line ... Throw away, suddenly feel a relaxed.

Here, if necessary, make a list of the items and the frequency of the space from high to low, and then decide on the location of space and stay. And at this stage the most important thing is "break out", from the outsider to see their hoarding desire.

This is the second order of cultivation, the ability to break away.

The third step is to leave extra space for the iteration

Any good product manager can not step a year after the product prototype is set down, all things are deferred, Zhangxiaolong also said that micro-letter is the growth of their own. From the evolution of micro-letter, micro-letter not only makes the function of High-frequency low-frequency find a reasonable space position, also for the future derivative of other functions to leave room, such as the micro-letter of the third column Zhangxiaolong is not as direct as the line is a friend circle, but the circle of friends and then folded up, not directly set dead, this also for after the "Shake", " The people nearby "burst into great space. Just imagine if the circle of Friends is directly the third column, the user's habit once fixed down can not easily change, and after the expansion of the function will be more difficult.

Back to our theme, the same is true of tidying up the room, a lot of people plan some extreme, to each item in the room for a private customization, and even after going home to take off a pair of shoes are required to display a 45°, something used to immediately neurotic put back, and then the home once someone destroyed their own clean up space on the abuse ......

This is actually a bit of the cart before the horse, the purpose of our room is to make us comfortable, and if just to clean up the room and vice versa, then the room is meaningless. And so close to the beginning of the obsessive-compulsive, doomed to failure, not their own injury is the family injured or injured together.

So how did I do that? First I throw the throw, try to set aside the position. Secondly, I know that people are inert, I am a super lazy person, I have to go to the room every time to throw clothes, every time thrown to the bed table chair on the third day to two days will not go to the tube, the result is not a few days home everywhere I throw clothes. So I realized that it wasn't my fault, it was my nature, I need more space to meet my needs, so I bought a clothing basket, every time I came back to throw clothes, every time I lost the washing machine, this also reminded me that I should regularly wash clothes, not often forget to wash clothes this thing, two birds, Very harmonious.

So from this, I'm going to do it, don't be overly confident in human nature, you set the high-frequency low-frequency items, space, a stage will certainly find a lot of errors, then need to continue to adjust, and in the wrong discovery, you must give yourself to find the wrong space, more than 20%-30% space to make their own mistakes, to find , and then to upgrade, those you originally thought is high-frequency demand is actually only low frequency, and those you originally thought that the low frequency demand is actually also may be the high frequency demand, you need to improve in the progress of time.

Secondly, the significance of this space is still in the change of time, things are not a dust unchanged, with the rise of a person's income, will usher in a variety of new untapped needs, then the corresponding needs of the order will change, and leave the space is like the micro-letter of the third column, at any time to wait for the superposition of requirements, function extension.

Another point, in fact, my room is still a period of chaos, but I have a corresponding rethinking after each of the two items of the rationality of the position, and then adjust.

This is the third step in the cultivation of the ability to set aside extra space for future iterations.

Fourth step, taste the ability of life

A person at home if a variety of furniture supplies are bad, the use of household items are also very damaged, it is impossible to think about tidying up the room.

Millet Li Vanchang said millet in recruit designer, very pay attention to what the designer wear, this is not groundless, a person if dress is not fastidious that must be chaotic, is lack of design planning ability.

A lot of young people have such an idea, this House is rented, it is not my, live a year away, I do not care how the room, only when I bought a room I will treat it. This is actually a question of the concept of life, we hoard too much, so we just want to buy a house and ignore all the other things about quality, for example, although the income has passed million, or buy the cheapest bed four sets, iphone6 out the phone is still using iphone4 ...

But in fact, in your income to a certain extent, to spend a certain amount of income to improve the life does not need much, and it will make you live more tasteful and confident, and then get higher income.

Of course, everyone has a way of living, I talk about a product manager's view, if you want to clean up the family so that the purpose is to be able to improve their quality of life, and if you do not improve the overall quality, all you do want to clean up the family's efforts are impossible, Because you will eventually find that your pay is not proportional to the harvest, and finally give up. It is as if the micro-letter has been upgraded to the latest version, the phone is still iphone4, often card back, the subway can not receive signals, make themselves very tired. It's time to replace the hardware.

I like to know the answer to the question "Xie Panda June":

So when the bedding discounts on the original 260-pin to replace the sheets 550 stitches, pillow also replaced with memory cotton, I one-third of life to sleep in a softer bed so I bought a computer one months ahead of the research and tracking hardware market, two weeks in advance to buy a new computer table, In order to set up the computer table to adjust the location of all the furniture, so the computer bought back after I used a variety of binding lines, line tools, many of the connectors hid, peripherals, although there are many but it seems to be a little messy so I bought a taste of the novelty cheese I didn't eat, so I asked my friend to help with a single at the airport duty-free shop.  Malt whiskey So I chose the Community gym membership, cheaper than the commercial gym 80% I do not seek skyrocketing wealth, but I will choose to use the least money to live a decent life, because for me, the world's most important person is me. Think of yourself as the most important person in the world, not to be selfish, but to take care of yourself as the most important person in the world. When you take care of yourself, taste will take care of itself.

In essence, it is also a kind of broken out, from the "object" of the broken out to the "heart" of the broken away. So if I interview the Product manager later, I will also pay attention to its clothing and taste these, because it represents a person's pursuit of life and taste, and first of all, only the pursuit of life and love their own people, to love their own things to do and products, Also have the ability to their own life taste of the relentless pursuit of all deeply into the soul of the product.

Isn't that the kind of person he is?

This is the fourth stage of cultivation, the ability to love oneself and to pursue a better life.

Conclusion: For products I actually have a lot to say, the first three stages are surgery, as long as a product manager to work for a period of time can be summed up, but some things are never learned through learning, that is the pursuit of quality of life attitude, product managers on the quality of life to pursue the attitude will be directly projected into his products. This positive pursuit includes making yourself comfortable, enjoying yourself moderately and enjoying work and life more.

The product itself, can be tangible intangible, but in the end is to connect people and technology, in order to make life more beautiful, and only to live a truly beautiful pursuit of people can make truly excellent products.
