Take ten minutes to picture yourself living one of the Life Design Models for Samplers. All of them are described in the chapter. What would be great about it? What would it be missing for you?
- The Smorgasbord Model
- The Quarterly Creative Project Model
- The Everything 101 Model
If you are an unsatisfied Sampler, do this for two of them.
Now do the same, for ten minutes, with one of the Careers for Samplers:
- The Good Enough Job
- Temporary jobs
- Adult education school
If you are an unsatisfied Sampler, you might want to create a Backward Planning Flowchart for moving toward one of these careers.
Write in your Daybook how each of these felt and any ideas came up while you were daydreaming about them. In a new comment on this page, tell us which ones you tried on and what you discovered about them and about yourself. After you share your experience, read the rest of the comments and reply to a few. Tell us if you are a Sampler.

The Quarterly Creative Project Model sounds exhausting. I find areas and go much deeper than a 101 Sampler.
A Good Enough Job sounds terrible and a temporary job sounds stressful.
I think about Adult education. I’m disappointed when my students don’t adopt the message.
