In his Good Experience column today, Mark Hurst offers five design ideas worth considering in the new year:

• Organization is the hardest part of user experience work.
• The big picture is the only picture.
• Experience is bigger than Web usability.
• Blogs are just content management systems.
• Managing one's bits is an increasingly essential skill.

The second idea hits me particularly hard today. Earlier this week, I was frustrated, focusing only on detail-oriented, repetitive task work. They say the devil's in the details, and it's true that details can bedevil you -- but I could have used Mark's advice Monday when I could see anything but the big picture.
