                How do diary studies compare to traditional usability testing when it comes to uncovering real user motivations and pain points over time?                 |

                Clay’s take https://clay.global/blog/ux-guide/diary-studies on diary studies is a refreshing reminder of how powerful longitudinal user insights can be. Encouraging real users to log their behaviors, frustrations, and motivators over time adds so much depth—far beyond one-off interviews. I love that it acknowledges planning, structuring entries, and analyzing the data, while noting the limitations too. This feels like the kind of method I can actually pitch to stakeholders for richer, authentic context. Insightful read.                 |
