The Individual Toolbox
As individuals, we are facing a lot of challenges in the times we live in. COVID-19 has forced many of us out of our stable routines. This can be a great challenge and makes many feel lost. However, it also gives us a lot of power to design our own life, and realise our true potential. This toolbox is designed to help individuals not only cope, but thrive in this new world we find ourselves in.
This diagram portrays how these 3 tools build upon & interlink with each-other. Our favourite way of using them is starting our day with a Self-Checkin, so we can move onto focusing clearly with 1 TIDO item at a time. We then intersect each focus sprint of around 30-60min with a relaxing Break Card before we move on to our next TIDO.
Self-CheckIn
Beginning your day right is absolutely key. With this Self-CheckIn you will receive guiding questions that will prime your mindset for a great day with the help of grounding meditation techniques and profound journaling questions. Even better → you can get our screensavers for mobile & desktop to nudge your mindset!
We have kept it short and sweet, because less more, and consistency is key.
"Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” – Aristotle
I WANT TO SELF-CHECKINTIDO List
Have you ever felt the pressure of Time Famine? Well, we all have. Which is why it's time we spend our precious energy on the tasks that really matter. The TIDO list will allow you to regain your clarity and channel our focus by extracting your task with a clear intention & desired outcome.
This method is inspired by the famous meeting preparation tool IDOARRT. You can check it out in the Hyper Island toolbox here.

When dealing with Time Famine, it's important not to let that overwhelming task list get the best of you. Odds are, you feel so swamped, even thinking of a break seem daunting. So, let the AgeOfUs take care of this for you, so you can find your optimal balance between work and leisure by letting randomised cards guide your breaks. We are always expanding this collection of break cards that will inspire and move you to truly take 1 break a time.

“Gigway was in an innovation phase of our digital service and needed to explore new ideas. For this purpose Julian from AgeOfUs facilitated a remote team through a 48h design sprint. I’m really impressed by the process, setup and end results!”

"The AgeOfUs methodologies have been a great foundation for smooth team progress through various projects I have been a part of. The combination of the 3 skills: building safety, sharing vulnerability and establishing purpose come together to set expectations within the team but also understand each other as individuals while lowering the threshold to expressing needs."
