Designing Your Life

Ephemeral frames of reference : Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, etc. No demonstrable permanent value. Timeless frames of reference: family, friends (real ones) love, learning, creativity. Be mindful of your invested time in the valuable.

This debacle is also demonstrating that the term “influencer” is limited to a special frame of reference. If Twitter goes down, you “influence” is worth as much as some FTX shares. Zero. Be very careful if assigning value to these ephemeral frames of reference.

Making money is a skill, no doubt. But it’s not at the level of writing a symphony or a beautiful poem. Beethoven is a genius. Whitman, Dylan - they are geniuses. Not some dude who made some money. People do that all the time.

Holy shit. Republicans are livid that the hashtag #ProtectMySocialSecurity is now trending at number 9. Please RT and use it below to make it number 1!

What are you prototyping this weekend, Life Designers?

The topics covered in this podcast are impossible to list in a tweet, so in the words of @GuyKawasaki, it's "remarkable." Mahalo, Guy! Thank you for hosting @DaveEvansDYL for this inspiring episode of Remarkable People. The range from Apple to Santa Cruz is a delight.

@EdMakowski @boswellbooks We have a sixth sense for when someone is ready to design their life. It's your time.

@DYourLife Wow what uncanny timing you have. I just arrived home from picking up my paper copy from @boswellbooks!

Started listening to this #audiobook yesterday and am so far very much enjoying it. Written by @wburnett and Dave Evans (who, it appears, may not be on the Twitters). designingyour.life/the-book/
