Title: Life as User Experience Subtitle: Designing Your Days According to Software Principles Author(s) name(s): André Berg-Stølen ISBN (or ASIN): 978-82-998988-1-2 Publisher: Berg, André Publication Date Year: 2025 Publication Date Month: 10 Publication Date Day: 03 Page count: 138 Format (such as paperback, hardcover, ebook, audiobook, etc): ebook Description:
**What happens when your carefully designed life stops working?** From a Norwegian app developer comes an unusual approach to life design: applying software principles to the messy reality of being human.
This isn't another productivity manual promising transformation through 10-step systems. It's an honest exploration of what happens when your routines fail, seasons change, and the person you designed your life for is no longer who you are.
Drawing from Norwegian design philosophy—where digg means "pleasantly good"—André Berg-Stølen examines constraint as liberation, what and how to use "graceful degradation", intentional defaults, and the art of seasonal adjustment.
How do you design systems that fail well? How do you recover when everything breaks? How do you give yourself permission to be *appropriately unfinished*?
Built from the principles that make simple software work—radical constraints, thoughtful defaults, removing friction—this book explores life as an ongoing practice rather than a problem to solve.
No revolution. No optimization. No perfect routines. Just small adjustments, responsive structure, and permission to design a life that's honest about failure, recovery, maintenance, and the uncomfortable gap between who you want to be and who you actually are.
For readers seeking: Norwegian minimalism, intentional living,honest self-help, constraint-based design, seasonal living, and anti-productivity productivity
