How I redesigned my life with 100% intention at age 41:
🧵
First, what does it mean to design an intentional life?
Here’s what I’ve landed on:
- Doing what I want, when I want, and with whom I want
- Doing very little of what I don’t like & more of what I do
- Being free of traditional full-time employment
- Having limited obligations
Your first reaction might be this sounds childlike or fantastical.
I’ve made peace with the potential judgment.
I believe it’s a more natural way to live than the assembly-line, 8-hour workday life we’ve inherited from the 1860s.
Let's start with 3 buckets:
1/ Purpose
Our first bucket is purpose.
And I believe purpose is made up of 3 drivers:
- Time
- Motivation
- Environment
Time
We all know that time is our most finite resource.
The currency of life.
But we tend to forget when faced with the day-to-day work, family, and obligations.
Understanding that time is the ultimate currency is the fundamental driver of intentional life design.
