Anthony and Katie define the process of decision making as it relates to design.Anthony's post: https://x.com/hobdaydesign/status/1904449738084094138Hosts:Anthony Hobday, Generalist Product Designer: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/hobdaydesign⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Katie Langerman, Systems Designer: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/KatieLangerman

266: “I used to have a very toxic relationship with work. Then I realized—I don't have to work. Who said I have to work? I choose to play instead.” - Klara HascakovaIn this episode, Chelsea and Klara Hascakova explore the concept of "Antichrist Consciousness" (eek! provoking, but listen to the ep for an explanataion) and how collective thought patterns shape personal identity. Are we all really one? They discuss the impact of societal conditioning, the power of gamifying daily life, and why thinking about work and discipline differently can lead to a more fulfilling and energized, zesty existence.“It's a collection of various collective consciousnesses that one individual is tapping into at any given moment.”“I used to have a very toxic relationship with work. Then I realized—I don't have to work. Who said I have to work? I choose to play instead.”"The more energy you have, the more you can create your own reality. When you're drained, you default to following other people's rules. But when you have energy, you feel bold enough to make things up as you go.”“I choose to have a playful attitude and I'm gamifying all my tasks so life feels fun and exciting, even when I do daily life stuff.”“If you outsource too much, you can lose touch with reality. One man I know outsourced everything, and his business started crumbling because he was too disconnected."“We don't have to change the current systems. It's more constructive to design your own system within them, one that works for you and keeps you energized.”This episode is an invitation to rethink the way we navigate work, identity, and play. You don't have to work 9-5, grind your way to the top, or do anything the way other people say to. Whether it's shifting your mindset, questioning outdated societal narratives, or gamifying your daily tasks like a game of Mario Kart, Klára and Chelsea encourage listeners to scuba dive into self-inquiry and personal experimentation to create a life that feels truly aligned.Connect with Klara:

265: "I came to a point of realization that everything here is made up. And why I couldn't be just another human being that is going to make something up? I have this audacity within me...I'm very courageous. I love to experiment and see if it's gonna work out. And so far, so good. I feel very supported in these bold choices." Klára Hascakova is a systems designer for geniuses, innovator, Name Patterns expert, and 5/1 Oxford-educated Reflector helping people gamify their lives, play with consciousness and operate outside of traditional conditioning.In this episode, Chelsea and Klara dive into the power of name patterns, why identity is more flexible than we think, how to gamify everything in life, and how designing personal systems can put you in an energetic surplus.Klara shares how changing her name for four years reshaped her self-perception, why she believes everything in life is made up, and how embracing bold experimentation can lead to radical freedom. Talk about AUDACITY!Snippets from the episode:"Identity is a flexible thing. We have way more control over it than we think.""If you outsource too much, you can lose touch with reality. ""The dominant systems we operate in were not designed for women's bodies. We need to learn how to move within them in a way that actually supports us.""I design my own systems—from the way I eat to the way I run my business—so they energize me instead of draining me.""I literally made it up. Everything here is made up. So why couldn't I be just another human being who makes something up?"Connect with Klara:

The five possible futures we discussed: AI replaces designers and developers completely AI produces a rough draft, a designer “tidies it up” AI builds the interface out of supplied components and a description of how the interface works AI produces content/components on demand, designers change it to suit, then put the interface together Designers ask AI focused questions to get inspiration You can find Maggie on Twitter or on the web at https://maggieappleton.com/ Hosts: Anthony Hobday, Generalist Product Designer: ⁠⁠https://twitter.com/hobdaydesign⁠⁠ Katie Langerman, Systems Designer: ⁠⁠https://twitter.com/KatieLangerman
