UX research methods for true beginners - user interview? usability testing? contextual inquiry?

Where do I even (literally) start? I remember feeling super overwhelmed by lists of UXR methods. If you are new (like I once was) and are struggling where to even start with methods, I recommend starting somewhere small, and learn + practice each method, one at a time. 👊🏻

Trust me, methods aren't everything about being a UX Researcher! 👀🤐
