Designing Your Life Notes

Be Curious

• Curiosity makes everything new

Try Stuff

• Bias to action
• Try and fail fast
• Learn by doing
• Prototype

Reframe Problems

• Reframe to get unstuck
• Step back, examine your biases, open up to different perspective

Know it’s a Process

• Life gets messy
• Protypes don’t workout
• It is a journey not a destination

Ask for Help

• Radical Collaboration
• It takes a team
• Use Mentors / team sport

Designers Ask

• How do I …
• How can I …
• How might we improve upon this …

Examples

How do I find a job that I like or maybe even love? How do I balance my career with my family? How can I make a differnce in the world?

Reframe the question

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” reframed as “who or what do you want to grow into?”
