Design Mindset, Yanko Design's weekly podcast, treats the creative process as something you can actively shape rather than something that just happens to you. Each episode digs into the habits, mental models, and practical tools that move designers from tentative to decisive, from endlessly tweaking to actually shipping work.

The pandas DataFrame is a structure that contains two-dimensional data and its corresponding labels.

Pol Gasco is 21 years old and he dreams of driving a light blue Lamborghini, living in Miami, and earning more than $10,000 a month.

Indicators that working memory may be challenging for you include walking into a different room and forgetting why you went there, or picking up your phone and not remembering what you were doing when you did so.

The late James Doty, a neurosurgeon and professor at Stanford University, wrote in his 2024 book "Mind Magic" about how meditation paired with repetition of messages can change a person's subconscious. This could look like closing your eyes before bed to relax, meditating and visualizing an intention like earning a new job title or mastering piano. Afterward, write the intention on a piece of paper and keep it nearby, reading it often.

When I start my work, I first close my eyes and collect all of my ideas from every perspective, then work on it.
