Life Design Sample Activities

Can’t wait to get started? Integrate Life Design into your future planning today with these at-home activity packets.

Life Design is a framework that fosters curiosity, collaboration and a proactive mindset, empowering individuals to navigate ambiguous and complex problems and make decisions with confidence. Our office leverages this framework to help graduate students and postdocs figure out how to make the most of their time at UT Austin, while simultaneously considering what they want to do next. 

Join us at one of our upcoming spring events to experience firsthand how Life Design can transform your day-to-day work and open up new possibilities for your future.
