Effort: Moderate-
Ingredient: Meaningful Work
Finding joy and purpose in what you do every day.
How
01
Pick one piece of work: Choose something others rely on - like a report, setup, meal, or plan.
02
Take a quick peek: Watch them use it or ask three simple questions:
What helped?
What was tricky?
What would make it easier?
If no one’s around, do a quick self-test as “future me.”
03
Carry one insight forward: If you notice something useful, make one small change next time.
Easy Start
Watch one person use something you made or imagine using it yourself - and note one thing that worked well.
Why It Matters
Seeing your work help someone makes its purpose real. A short peek reminds you why it matters and gives you one idea to improve.
Questions and Thoughts
- “No user handy.” → Use future me/us or someone at home who touches it.
- “People are busy.” → Ask for three minutes and stick to the three questions.
- “Feedback stings.” → Frame it as “help me make this easier,” take one suggestion only.
Care Notes
Ask before observing. Keep changes small and reversible; if a tweak doesn’t help, drop it and try another next time.
