Design is a plan for arranging elements in such a way as best to accomplish a particular purpose.
— Charles Eames —
Your particular purpose is to Design Your Great Life, and you have many elements to arrange.
To get to this point, you should have worked the exercises in the Where You Are and the Where You Want to Be sections. You should have also gone through The STARS System, so you have a good grasp as to how to use the worksheets.
There are seven parts to Your Design workflow.
- Core Statements
- Design Overview Process
- My Behaviors and Favorites
- Stage Task Assignments
- Working My Design
- Circular Design Process
- Finding My Own Style
Each of these steps flow into the next one. Give yourself time to move through the steps and understand what is important at each level. Remember that this is not a race, it is your life. You are just working on a way to make it the best you can.
