Because everything has already been done before and it is extremely difficult to come up with something outside the box.

Great read, thank you for sharing.

An interesting talk / webinar I gave last week in the Higher Education sector about optimizing institution websites. This is a 30 minute listen if you are interested, but a quick synopsis read on the blog post.

This is a great idea and a pretty sweet site! Great design and holiday feel here.

Dude I was transfixed by the drone footage, then when I scrolled and the tagline was "We just want you to feel something" I was like, yep, felt it.

Amazing videography and I dig the style of this site. You should steer your personal portfolio site in this direction as well. Great work.

Is the company named Whimsical and your product names Sticky Notes? Also, are the links at the top additional products you offer as a company (Flowcharts, Wireframes, etc.)?

I'd suggest putting a separator in the name or something to discern between your brand and products. As a consumer I'm already confused as to what it is you offer just by going to your landing pages.

These are awesome. Great way to get into the holiday spirit. Thank you for sharing!

Work for a company that focuses on doing good in the world.

I feel the same way you do so I work at Blackbaud - https://www.blackbaud.com

They only work with non-profits. I only work on sites whose goal is to help others every day. That is the only way I can really stomach being a designer this day in age.

Find a company like this in France and you will be set.

I second using Wunderlist!

Go with hipchat then. DND built in and the rest of the features Slack has. Seems like an issue with multi-tasking based on your article though. There may be some folks on your team that can interact on a Slack all day and still be extremely productive. If that is not you, work out a way to seem available while still being able to focus on your work. That may mean putting more hours in a work day.

I'm one of those that can chat and work at the same time and a lot of people on my team can't. I still praise the tool to the higher ups as an important tool so they keep it in the workflow. Some folks at your shop might be doing the same. Adapt or you will fall behind.
