The three human forces that drive design solutions
Design creates Desirability
The No. 1 reason startups fail is that they try to build something that nobody wants.
People adopt and endorse something which they feel they want at a primal level, with the design appeal of the product/service coming in play.

The Three Forces
Creating something that people would desire requires examining the three main forces involved.
- The Person: The kind of person the product or service is targeted towards, his likes and dislikes, age, and preferences.
- The Situation: The current situation, climate, mindset or even the state of the world is a big factor. People require different things in different situations.
- The Problem: The problem part is the force which makes the person take action. It is the trigger for the person to find a solution.
The solution to the problem may not become your product or service automatically, but it can be a process to move towards the best kind of solution.

Channel your inner learner
Children instinctively pursue knowledge by actively moving around their environments, observing what’s going on around them, and taking mental notes about what they experience.
By assuming that there’s always more to learn, we can follow the childlike drive to develop new ideas about familiar things.
Spend time exploring
It’s both natural and useful to take time to explore a task before committing to one path forward.
While children tend to do this automatically, adults may need to plan ahead for their exploratory time. Explore: consider multiple solutions, ask questions that may seem tangential, and be open to discovering unexpected ways to tackle the project.

Owning a suburban home
The idea of owning a suburban home was fed to Americans by people in power: Suburbia has always been suitable for industry.
Big houses = big appliances. This fed the coal, steel, and automaking industries. With it came cars and oil that made the postwar American suburb possible. It is all as much a creature of government as of the market.
Reconsidering the suburban house
The climate crisis and carbon dependency make potential homeowners reconsider the effects of suburban sprawl.
The September 11, 2001, terrorist attack and the market crash of 2008 sowed a sense of instability and propagated fears.
