A newsletter from me, Abdulrahman Abu Maleh, and the Fنجان team, to the podcast’s close audience. https://thmanyah.link/e1bb40 We are all looking for a happy, fulfilling life, but the definition of satisfaction and happiness is vague and general, and varies from one person to another, and achieving this satisfaction seems difficult to me. However, we can consider life a journey and design it in a way that satisfies us. The guest of this episode is Al-Baraa Al-Awhali, an interested researcher in the field of life design. He will talk to us about lifestyle design, and help us understand why and how we design our lives. My guest defines design as finding something and doing it intentionally. Do you know what you want to achieve in a few years? What major will you study? Where will you work? Who will you marry? Which house will you buy? Or will you not buy at all? The decisions that design your life begin and do not end. Al-Baraa has a number of tools and exercises that help us design our lives in line with our values ​​and desires. He first talked to me about three tools for designing a lifestyle, eight elements for designing your day, and questions and tools to know yourself. We also discussed ways to commit to the plans we choose and hope for in our lives. I asked him about one of the most important influential things in our lives, which we are exposed to every day, such as making decisions, how we know the right ones, and how we deal with the wrong ones.
