When your career feels directionless, the problem isn't laziness—it's the lack of a meaningful connection between your work and identity. The roughout methodology, inspired by traditional woodworking, helps you find career direction by identifying what doesn't work, recognizing flow states, experimenting through micro-projects, and seeking direction rather than a specific destination. Through case studies and practical steps, learn how to move beyond the paralysis of seeking the "perfect job" and discover the territory where your unique strengths, interests, and values can flourish.
