How you can have more impact by doing less

Hey ,
Making Design Circular now has 12 self-paced short courses to choose from.... 12! Which makes it really tricky to decide what to tell you about today – because I genuinely love them all!
But
something I saw on Instagram this weekend made me think of one in particular. Suzy Reading posted:
'I don't want to be "selfless" anymore. I want to be somebody. I want to change the world for the better by pursuing my own hopes, dreams and desires, not by denying them.'
Suzy is an author and a chartered psychologist and her content often resonates with me, but this one – oooooffff, yes!
Because you can actually have more impact – more chance of changing the world for the better – when you align your actions with your talents, your resources, and your passion.
Behavioural
psychology shows that when we are intrinsically motivated (when we do things for the joy of them, not because we feel we "should") we are more likely to stick at them.
...which is why I created How to Discover Your Environmental
Superpower – a short course that will help you work out how to change the world for the better by pursuing your own hopes, dreams and desires.

This course is already changing people's lives – bringing joy and energy into their environmentalism efforts. Furniture maker Nick James said:
'One thing I have been doing since The Seed is 'Woodland Wednesdays', where I leave the lads in the workshop and go to the woods. The Seed helped to make me realise how important this is to me and gave me permission to prioritise it more.'

PS I have recently segmented my email list (manually – that was fun!) into two groups. If you're a designer-maker making
imperfect progress towards environmental sustainability, you're in the right place. If you're from a bigger brand, or you're an event organiser, educator, editor, publisher or involved in craft and design in another way, you might want to unsubscribe from this one and sign up for my
monthly newsletter instead – or come and find me on LinkedIn.
