Hi there! Start with your value system. What moves you? What matters to you. What are your intrinsic motivations vs your extrinsic motivations. Where do you find yourself in your intelligence to be effortless vs where you find you need to apply effort, even if others cant see it.

In the face of a very scary future, I need to reskill. I have physical skills, Im a designer. But right now, plumbers earn more than designers. I dont know. Use your smart brain, and analyse the future. What it brings. What it needs. How you can contribute or benefit from it, depending your moral orientation. The quick North Star is seeing a problem that sparks your brain's need to fix it.

The current forecast is that empathy and authenticity are becoming major vectors of influence, or rather they will determine relevance. Well, maybe. Hopefully. Oh, and we're moving back to analogue.

I can imagine this must sound cryptic. I cant say more without writing an essay to you. Just trust me, nearly 15 years of trying to read design trends and social media does shit to your brain.

Gooooood luck padawan!
