Are you ready to transform your life from a series of choices into a thoughtfully crafted design? With insights and tools from Designing Your Life by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans, Apollo Skills is thrilled to introduce the Ultimate Life Design Quiz—a transformative course to help you align your career, personal goals, and life aspirations. Inspired by Stanford University’s life design curriculum, this course equips you with a designer’s mindset to reimagine your future, making it a perfect fit for anyone seeking clarity, balance, and meaning.
Why Life Design?
An empowering message lies at the heart of Designing Your Life: you can design your life just as designers create solutions. This course doesn’t prescribe a single path but encourages a creative, flexible approach where multiple possibilities can coexist. Here’s what you can expect:
1. Discover Life Design Thinking
Rather than searching for a single “right” way to live, you’ll use design thinking principles—like ideation, prototyping, and iteration—to craft a life you love. This forward-thinking process involves experimenting with choices, learning from small changes, and letting curiosity guide your life design.
2. Craft Odyssey Plans for Your Future
Through this course, you’ll create three different five-year “Odyssey Plans.” Each plan maps out a distinct path, helping you explore your future in varied scenarios. By envisioning multiple futures, you gain clarity on which direction feels most fulfilling, empowered to make decisions with insight and intention.
3. Prototype Your Life
One of the most liberating concepts is life prototyping. Instead of committing to significant life changes on a whim, you can test them in small ways—like exploring a side project or volunteering in a new field—to gather insights and determine if they’re a proper fit before making big decisions.
4. Reframe Challenges as Opportunities
This course uses design thinking’s reframe technique to teach you to see challenges from fresh perspectives. Designing Your Life emphasizes that many dilemmas are “wicked problems” without clear answers. Reframing helps you break these challenges into manageable parts, making it easier to find paths forward.
5. Hands-On, Practical Tools
Throughout the course, you’ll complete exercises that clarify your values, strengths, and goals. These tools, from the Life Design Quiz to creating a “workview” and “lifeview,” help you chart a path grounded in what truly matters to you.
