Welcome listeners! The Informed Life is the podcast that explores how people organize information to get things done

I hope you enjoyed my convo with Jorge on the Informed Life. Well, you are here, so I assume you did and want to know more about OOUX. Wonderful. I've hand-picked a few resources to get your started, assuming you are coming from an information architecture background. But if you want a firehose of information, check out all the free resources and content.

And if you are interested in taking the full deep dive into OOUX, consider some deeper training. Right now, you can sign up for the Self-Paced OOUX Masterclass which automatically gets you on the waitlist for the next Certification Cohort (starting in August 2021). If you decide to sign up, use this discount code for $100 off:

And again, if you are not yet ready to take that plunge (it's a 10 week course!), I've got a little playlist for you below.

Cheers and happy OOUXing,

Sophia
