Lifestyle Design might sound like this fuzzy, complex concept, but if we break it down, it's basically about deliberately choosing how to use your precious resources like time, energy, and focus. The catch is, many folks don't think they have control over these resources and end up missing out on the whole lifestyle design journey.
But guess what? Even if you're grinding away at a 9-5 job, you can still lead an intentionally designed life. My hope is that after reading this, you'll feel a little spark in your soul, ready to take that small step towards lifestyle design. Trust me, it's a heck of a journey, and you won't regret treading the path less traveled.
Now, I'll be real with you. I once thought living intentionally was impossible while stuck in a regular day job. Thanks to Tim Ferris and his "4-Hour Work Week," I got super pumped up. But then, reality hit because his version of an intentional life didn't align with my world of being a full-time worker, main breadwinner, raising two kids, and living a pretty traditional life.
I felt kind of deflated and put off the whole intentional living thing for way too long. Like, ages.
Here's the thing I realized later on: Tim Ferris was just showing us HIS version of an intentional life. There are as many versions as there are people. You don't have to be into jet-setting, luxuries, or running your own business. Those are cool options, sure, but there's no one-size-fits-all here.
Let's kick things off by figuring out what intentional living means to you. Once we've got that down, we can dive into taking that first step. Deal? 🌟
Alright, breaking it down from the basics, there are three key ingredients - intentionality, decision-making, and handling your resources.
So, as you embark on this life-design journey, the first step is to nail down a few things about how these three components play out.

Alright, buckle up for the ride because this is the big one: What does living intentionally actually look like? Tim Ferris is all about globe-trotting non-stop, Tony Robbins aims for empowering the masses, and for me, it's having the freedom to dive into something I genuinely love.
Keep it easy-breezy when crafting your vision. How does life on your terms look in a nutshell? The broader you go, the more avenues open up for success or fulfillment. Let's simplify that grand vision of yours! 🌈
Alright, let's tackle the decision-making game. Another way to put it is: What's on your "in" list, and what's on your "out" list when it comes to living your ideal lifestyle? These are like your pre-established rules that guide your behavior, helping you navigate different aspects of your life.
Now, quick heads-up, your rules don't have to be all about where you are physically. You don't need to convert a van into your home or sail the seas to live intentionally. Your home could be a factor or not, totally up to you.
