ByDesign playbook
Reimagine your limits
We all tell stories to ourselves about what we are and are not capable of, but these stories are exactly that: just stories. Stories can be retold, and our brain can be rewired to focus not on what we can’t do, but on what we can. Imagine if we lived as though there were no limits? What if we believed that any goal, no matter how high, was within reach? Start here. Believe it’s possible and nurture that belief. To create the life you always dreamed of, you need to first gain confidence and conviction that your limits are higher than you ever imagined.
You can start this exercise in the ByDesign dashboard. You can develop projects that inspire you. You can add habits you want to nurture. Habits that will help you be better tomorrow than you are today.
Make a change
Progress starts with change. You don’t need radical change to achieve big results. In fact, it’s almost always the small, thoughtful and sustainable changes that produce the most impact. Picture small, daily actions snowballing into huge life accomplishments. Recognize the parts of your life you could “edit,” and modify them slightly to move you in the direction of your dreams. Start with the easiest changes, the ones that feel effortless to do, and continue building from there.
Act with intent
Acting with intent starts with designing, planning and strategizing. What are the most meaningful ways to spend your time? What habits will help you be better, feel better and achieve more? What are the top things you hope to accomplish today and tomorrow?
This is where ByDesign can help. We offer the essential tools required to design the life you want to live. Just like building a house starts with a blueprint, achieving your dreams requires a fundamental structure that brings everything together, keeps you on track and holds you accountable.
Pursue constant progress
Imagine for a moment that constant progress is the goal. Most of us focus our energy on reaching a final goal or specific endpoint. We envision ourselves in those moments of glory, and don’t give too much thought to what it takes to get there. What does an “average” day look like when you’re working towards achieving your dreams? While we believe in creating big goals and working towards big moments, the process of shifting your perspective from goal to progress helps you stay present and grounded in the moment. What can you do, right now, to make progress? No matter how small it may seem now, it’ll make all the difference years down the track.
ByDesign integrates this philosophy into our tool. We provide thoughtful and flexible ways to track tasks and projects. We help you create achievable days, weeks and months on your calendar. And we enable you to envision what today looks like when you’re working towards a goal one year from now.
Engage your community
We depend on each other quite literally for survival. We believe that the people around us provide the strength, support and accountability in ways that no project tracker ever can. We embrace that, always seeking out innovative ways to leverage the power of community and each other, and integrating that power directly into our platform.
Your ByDesign community are the people that keep you track on when you experience obstacles, lose motivation or struggle to see the path forward. Lean on that community, ask for help and give it in return.
