"Designing your life" intentionally uses design thinking principles to create a fulfilling and meaningful life. The idea is to approach life as a design problem and use the same tools and techniques designers use to create products or services to create a life well-suited to your goals, interests, and values.
This series is inspired by the book, “Designing Your Life” by Burnett and Evans. here are some quotes from "Designing Your Life":
"Life design is not about finding a single solution to the one big question, it’s about finding a series of small answers to a series of questions that collectively create a well-lived and fulfilling life."
"The only way to get unstuck is to take action."
"We can’t guarantee that you’ll find your dream job, but we can guarantee that if you engage in the process, you’ll be much closer to where you want to be than if you don’t."
"There are no perfect solutions, only trade-offs."
"The most successful people are those who have figured out how to use their strengths to their advantage and how to compensate for their weaknesses."
"Good design is mindful design, and mindful design is a process of being aware of the choices you’re making and the impact they have."
"The best way to predict the future is to design it."
"Life design is an iterative process. You try things, you learn from them, and then you adjust your course accordingly."
"Our approach to life design is fundamentally optimistic. We believe that with the right tools, anyone can create a fulfilling and meaningful life."
