Stuck Happens: 95 Simple Life Hacks for Thinking and Thriving

Design Thinking for Personal Use

All of us have gotten stuck at times… stalled at work, caught up in family and our own situations, and kept from achieving our goals and finding happiness. It’s universal. Stuck Happens. But there’s a way out. Think yourself out.

You don’t need to be a genius to think differently… you just need a guide to walk you through a set of simple life hacks useful for getting back up and getting back on the road to progress and achievement.

What are life hacks? They are simple techniques or methods… the kinds of things you can do without any special training. The life hacks I’ve covered here are some of my favorites, borrowed from the worlds of Design Thinking, Nature, Psychology, Medicine, Disaster Recovery, Risk Management, Judeo-Christian Principles, Agile, Lean, and more.

My favorite life hacks put people, rather than our problems, at the center of solving those problems. And then by learning, thinking, and doing things differently, these life hacks help us get unstuck so we can arrive at the Finish Line faster than we otherwise would...

Learn. Think. Do.... and get unstuck.
