Life design framework (Stanford)

Designed by Bill Burnett + Dave Evans — Stanford d.school. Applied design thinking to life.

Step 1: Reframe — find right problem

Dysfunctional belief vs Reframe:

Dysfunctional	Reframe
"I need to find my passion"	"Passion comes after mastery"
"Career = 1 path forever"	"Life = continuous design"
"Should be happy by 25"	"Happiness = process, not destination"

Step 2: Wayfind — energy + flow

Activity log 2 tuần:

• Note 5 hoạt động daily
• Rate energy (-2 to +2)
• Rate engagement (1-10)

→ Identify pattern. Energy giver vs drainer.

Tablet cho log tracking + reflection.

Step 3: Ideate — 3 alternative life

Odyssey planning (5 năm):

Life 1: Current path

• "What if I continue current job?"
• Predict 5 năm outcome

Life 2: Plan B

• "What if current path disappears?"
• Pivot career

Life 3: Wild card

• "What if money + reputation no object?"
• Dream life

→ Visualize each. Notice excitement.

Step 4: Prototype

Don't decide — TEST:

Conversation prototype:

• Talk 5-10 người already living "Life 2/3"
• Coffee chat 30 phút
• Learn reality

Experience prototype:

• Internship / freelance gig
• Shadow professional
• Take course 4-6 tuần

Step 5: Choose + commit

Decision criteria:

1. Workability — can you actually do it
2. Coherence — fits your values
3. Energy — energizes vs drains
4. Joy — happiness factor

Commit + iterate:

• Try 1-2 năm
• Reflect + adjust
• Pivot OK

Life domain (rate 0-10):

Domain	Score now	Score want
Health (physical + mental)
Work (career + finance)
Love (family + romance)
Play (hobby + fun)

→ Gap analysis. Focus highest gap.
