High-quality usability has been the center of discussions in the industry in the past ten years, as it becomes more and more important for users. Good usability can also help build brand awareness and can generally improve a user's opinion of a website and even a company. There is so much focus on usability today because big and small companies showed how important a good usability strategy can turn out to be. Good usability has been in the past couple of years at the heart of successful start-ups. Simple ideas are most of the time the most innovative and this is mainly what usability is about: making a feature or a product easy to use, while still keeping the product quality at a high level. Today's article comes a lot down to common sense. It seems that after years and years of discussing this issue, web designers still have a hard time understanding it. Usability is not a joke anymore and the advices below should be printed out and pinned on the wall in front of your desk.

The author, recently diagnosed with stage IV cancer at 32, reflects on the sacrifices made for their legal career. They acknowledge the weight loss and fatigue they attributed to the demanding job, never considering a serious illness despite lacking traditional risk factors. Regret sets in as they contemplate lost friendships, missed trips, and strained relationships due to their relentless work schedule. Working long hours with the promise of a future with more free time after paying off loans, a goal achieved just a year ago, now feels like a hollow victory. While finding pride in helping others through their legal work, anger simmers at the immense cost. The author hasn't informed their parents yet, anticipating their usual joking response about the rarity of their calls. The purpose of sharing their story? A cautionary tale for others to prioritize a healthy work-life balance. This career, like many others, will consume as much time and energy as you allow, and reclaiming that balance is a difficult feat. Make those calls to loved ones, schedule doctor appointments, take vacations - create space for the other aspects of life that bring fulfillment. Edit: The author expresses gratitude for the well-wishes received during a dark time. While some advice, like using meth, was a humorous outlier, all messages were appreciated. They've quit their job, moved in with their parents to rebuild the relationship, and will begin treatment next week. Travel is a possibility after the initial treatment cycle. The message remains the same: make time for the things that truly matter.
