“I started the Ikiguide journey in January. I set aside time to work on each card and documented my thoughts and reflections in my journal regularly. What I enjoyed the most was how these cards forced me to reflect on my priorities, my passions and my goals and how to take tangible steps to achieve them. It gave me a sense of clarity and declutter my mind and my physical space. These cards helped me carve out time for myself and the things that I love, make healthy compromises and strike a balance between what I had to do and what I've always wanted to do.”

Why Ikiguide?

One of the biggest missteps in our education system is that it fails to help us design our lives. We wanted to change that and make it fun, engaging, and bite-sized.

This is why Ikiguide is not meant to be read like a book, but rather by taking one card at a time and reflecting in a way that suits you best, either by yourself or with someone else.

Who can use Ikiguide?

Ikiguide is crafted to help you discover your next meaningful step.

Whether you’re a student trying to choose from a whirlwind of opportunities, an entrepreneur looking for leverage, or an experienced professional wanting to shift gears purposefully.
