While the notion of mindfulness has had a resurgence as a buzz word, its profound and most deep meaning goes beyond light meditation and colouring books: mindfulness is a state of being, an approach to life (and to our work, regardless of its genre) that calls for presence and awareness, care and purpose. Living mindfully, designing mindfully, coding mindfully can be extremely rewarding, for us and for the fruitors of our work. The talk describes the basic principles of mindfulness, illustrates the benefits and introduces the notion of mindfulness as applied to the practice of design

112. Codemotion Berlin 2019 – November 12|13, 2019 Raffaella Isidori – Mindful Design being nonjudgmental 1
113. WordCamp Dublin 2019 – October 19|20, 2019 Raffaella Isidori – Mindful Design [be kind]
114. Codemotion Berlin 2019 – November 12|13, 2019 Raffaella Isidori – Mindful Design suspending judgement allows for a more neutral and open approach
115. Codemotion Berlin 2019 – November 12|13, 2019 Raffaella Isidori – Mindful Design suspending judgement allows for a more neutral and open approach
116. Codemotion Berlin 2019 – November 13, 2019 Raffaella Isidori – Mindful Design in design, this translates in a higher listening ability and an open mind
117. Codemotion Berlin 2019 – November 13, 2019 Raffaella Isidori – Mindful Design in design, this translates in a higher listening ability and an open mind
118. Codemotion Berlin 2019 – November 13, 2019 Raffaella Isidori – Mindful Design this allows for (real) empathy
 and for meaningful products that are truly user-centered
119. WordCamp Dublin 2019 – October 19|20, 2019 Raffaella Isidori – Mindful Design [muzzle it]
120. Codemotion Berlin 2019 – November 13, 2019 Raffaella Isidori – Mindful Design and, without that inner critic,
 we can be fearlessly creative
121. Codemotion Berlin 2019 – November 13, 2019 Raffaella Isidori – Mindful Design Judgement breeds intolerance
122. Codemotion Berlin 2019 – November 13, 2019 Raffaella Isidori – Mindful Design Intolerance inhibits inclusion thus producing results that are
 myopic, limited, and mediocre
123. Codemotion Berlin 2019 – November 13, 2019 Raffaella Isidori – Mindful Design Judgement can turn us into deaf, callous executors, killing innovation
124. Codemotion Berlin 2019 – November 12|13, 2019 Raffaella Isidori – Mindful Design being patient 2

127. Codemotion Berlin 2019 – November 12|13, 2019 Raffaella Isidori – Mindful Design Hurry and impatience remove us from the “here and now” and breed anxiety and intolerance
128. Codemotion Berlin 2019 – November 13, 2019 Raffaella Isidori – Mindful Design In design,
 hurry is quality’s worse enemy
129. Codemotion Berlin 2019 – November 13, 2019 Raffaella Isidori – Mindful Design In design,
 hurry is quality’s worse enemy
130. Codemotion Berlin 2019 – November 13, 2019 Raffaella Isidori – Mindful Design Anxiety makes our design unresolved and unsuccessful
131. Codemotion Berlin 2019 – November 13, 2019 Raffaella Isidori – Mindful Design Intolerance makes our products
 biased, blind and insensible
132. Codemotion Berlin 2019 – November 13, 2019 Raffaella Isidori – Mindful Design quality takes time, but it’s not the quantity of time,
133. Codemotion Berlin 2019 – November 13, 2019 Raffaella Isidori – Mindful Design quality takes time, but it’s not the quantity of time, It’s the quality: it needs to be mindful time

135. Codemotion Berlin 2019 – November 13, 2019 Raffaella Isidori – Mindful Design a patient and open approach is at the base of a practice that is inclusive, valuable, meaningful, and compassionate

154. Codemotion Berlin 2019 – November 13, 2019 Raffaella Isidori – Mindful Design In design, not pushing
 the final result in the direction “we want” allows us to avoid limiting ourselves.
155. Codemotion Berlin 2019 – November 13, 2019 Raffaella Isidori – Mindful Design It allows for inspiration and creativity.
156. Codemotion Berlin 2019 – November 13, 2019 Raffaella Isidori – Mindful Design It allows for inspiration and creativity. It leaves room for the unexpected.
