🧭Life Design Morning

UltralearningLife Designers · Morning · Morning BlockMedium

for the life-designer who starts the day reacting instead of designing

Goal

Open the morning by mapping one life-design decision before any reactive work.

Source principle

Metalearning: map the why/what/how of a life decision before acting on it. : from Ultralearning by Scott Young.

The plan

  1. 🪶
    6:00-6:05 AM
    Set up: blank page, coffee, kill notifications.
  2. 🎯
    6:05-6:10 AM
    Name the one decision you're designing. One sentence.
  3. ❓
    6:10-6:20 AM
    Write the WHY: what outcome would make this worth it?
  4. 🧩
    6:20-6:30 AM
    Break the decision into 3-4 nameable sub-questions.
  5. 🔍
    6:30-6:45 AM
    For each sub-question, write what you'd need to test.
  6. 🛠️
    6:45-6:55 AM
    Design one cheap prototype per sub-question. Real reps.
  7. ☕
    6:55-7:05 AM
    10-min rest. Walk, water.
  8. 📅
    7:05-7:15 AM
    Schedule the first prototype. Real date on calendar.
  9. ⚠️
    7:15-7:20 AM
    Name the biggest risk to this decision. One sentence.
  10. ✍️
    7:20-7:25 AM
    One-line 'definition of done'. How you'll know it worked.
  11. 🧹
    7:25-7:30 AM
    Close the page. React to the day from a designed place.
