Do research

Do research

Set an intention to your research to prevent yourself from wasting time later. Even a brief "why" can help clarify and narrow the research you do.

Send emails to users to recruit them. Copy the list of potential users to recruit from here, and then filter and assign priority.

See upcoming interviews and take notes for each

Add your immediate, independent reflections while it's still fresh. Then, see others' and discuss what resonated

After you've done all your interviews, review what you and your team have seen and learnt

Write the 3-5 biggest takeaways you have, to share with the broader team and company. Time box yourself: even a quick synthesis will make your work higher leverage today + in future months when colleagues ask to review it.
