You have done it!  You have completed 30 days in your Project You 30-day Action Planner.  You have created a micro-design to overhaul one area of your life.

This first experience is invaluable.  You have collected so much data in the course of your experiment, and this episode is going to help you make sense of it all and help you make some decisions about what to do next.

Hey Designers,

You are on the last leg of Project You.

Raise your hand if you didn’t really do anything for your project this week.

Raise your hand if you need a boost to complete this first 30 day round

I’ve got the solution for you…

You started off you project excited to begin.  Perhaps that first day you made your change; you tried out your design and you were exuberant about your results.  Maybe you changed your bedtime routine, or made an exercise plan, or batch planned your lessons.

After week one, you had tweaked your design and made it even better

By week three, you were seeing some consistent results.  You celebrated.

Somewhere between week three and week four the momentum has waned.  The exuberance you had in your project in the beginning may be waning.

I’m here to tell you that this is normal.  Settle in for a short story and to learn what to do when you feel like giving up.

How is your Project You going? What are you doing to celebrate?  This week, I have two tasks for you to complete that are going to help enhance our designer and LEADER community.  

One: Leave a message on https://www.speakpipe.com/DesignLessonsPodcast about your project.  Tell us what you are doing and how it is going or ask a question.  We will share your designs and questions in a later episode.

The other is I thought we could use a community T-shirt.

Use the sticky note strategy to access possible ideas. Set your timer for 3 minutes and put down as many ideas as possible.  Share your favorite ones on our community padlet. I can’t wait to see what you come up with.  If you are unable to access the padlet from this page.  Go to https://www.micheleschmidtmoore.com/podcast/46.

Hey Designers:

This past week you were in the listening phase.  You paid attention or were mindful of what was working for you and what wasn’t working for you.  You asked what if questions about your life.   Now you have all of this data to take with you into the Empathy phase.

During this phase, you are going to sift through your data and choose your focus.

Hey Designers:

Did you choose you?  Did you make a commitment to make your life just a little bit better?  Are you ready to use your Project You 30 Day Action Planner to dream, organize and execute your design?  If you haven’t already downloaded the planner, go do it.  I’ll wait.

Choosing you can sometimes be the first hurdle.  People often justify choosing themselves by saying that putting yourself first is like putting your oxygen mask on first so that you can help others.  

I say yes, that is probably true and makes a nice bridge for someone who feels like they don’t have enough time for themselves and thinks well I’m really helping others by helping myself. So I get the value in the statement.

However…

You should choose you because you are important, full stop.

You are important.

Choose you.

Hey Designers

Right now you may be in that part of the year where everything feels just a little hard, so I thought we would use our design superpowers this season to make one area of our lives just a little bit better.  

Each week in season 3, we will take a step forward in creating a better you.  I don’t know about you, but this school year has been a little taxing.  It’s taken me until now to get a rhythm going and to even begin to feel like myself.  I think that we all may be a little bit exhausted, a little bit annoyed, a little bit out of sorts.

To help us get our mojo back and relieve the stress and tension that you might be feeling, season 3 is focusing on you.  The theme of season 3 is Design Thinking for a Better You.
