That's good advice. Another one is to put yourself in the user's shoes and then lean in to your own laziness in order to come up with a UI that will delight the average user. Also, in the beginning don't worry too much about the difficulty of implementing your ideas. You won't come up with anything new if you are always thinking "that's too hard" or "that will take too long." You can always scale back your ambition at a later time, but it's important to be excited about your ideas.
