Some thoughts about how design thinking can help you to have a "better" life and job. For this I combine some personal experiences with general ideas around life design and I introduce a format we call "redesign YOU".

1. DESIGN THINKING
YOUR LIFE

REFRAMING (from „How to work as freelancer?“ to „how to integrate
more freedom in my corporate job“)
PROTOTYPES FOR TESTING AND LEARNING (quit and come
back after four weeks)
ITERATIONS (say ‘yes’ to all kind of requested DT workshops))
BIAS TOWARDS ACTION (apply for job as coach at the d.school)
A GOOD TEAM (friends, family, coach, mentor, therapist)
FAIL EARLY AND OFTEN (4 teams since 2011)
SOUND´S FAMILIAR, RIGHT?

18. BECOME THE DESIGNER OF YOUR LIFE

planning a life, drifting through a
life, and designing a life.”
