From Boring to Extraordinary: The Formula To Design a Life of Epic Experiences

Writer: Greg ClementGreg Clement

Most people drift through life, reacting to whatever comes their way. They wake up, go to work, run errands, scroll through social media, and repeat. Then one day, they look back and wonder: Where did the time go?

Meanwhile, others seem to be out there living—traveling, building businesses, creating epic memories, and squeezing every ounce of joy from life.

What’s the difference?


Peak Experiences Don’t Happen by Accident

The best moments in life aren’t random. They aren’t just for the “lucky ones.” They are designed—intentionally crafted, planned, and prioritized.


Think back to your most unforgettable moments. Were they spontaneous? Maybe. But chances are, someone set the stage for them. Someone booked the trip, made the call, gathered the people, or said yes to something outside their comfort zone.


If you’re waiting for peak experiences to come to you, you’ll be waiting a long time. But if you’re willing to design them, you can live a life that feels like a highlight reel instead of a to-do list.


The Freedomology Formula for Peak Experiences

You don’t need to be a billionaire or have unlimited free time to create an incredible life.


You just need intentionality. Here’s how:


1. Adopt the “Experience First” Mindset

Most people plan their lives around work. The job dictates their schedule, and whatever’s left over goes to family, fitness, and fun.

Flip that.


Instead of asking, How much vacation time do I have?, ask, What experiences do I want to create this year, and how can I structure my life around them?

  • Want to take your kids on a cross-country road trip? Plan it before you fill your calendar with work obligations.

  • Want to train for a triathlon? Block the training hours before the meetings pile up.

  • Want to build deep relationships? Schedule a weekly dinner with friends before your schedule “gets too busy.”


2. Create Traditions That Become Non-Negotiable

Not every peak experience has to be a grand adventure. Some of the best memories come from small, repeatable traditions.

  • Jump in the lake every New Year’s Day with your family.

  • Host an annual “digital detox” weekend where friends leave their phones behind.

  • Do a Friday Night Feast where everyone cooks together, no distractions.


Why do traditions matter? Because life moves fast. If you don’t lock in the things that matter, they get lost in the chaos of “busy.”


3. Engineer Challenge & Adventure

Humans are wired for challenge. Comfort zones are great for rest, but they kill growth and memorable experiences.


The most alive you’ll ever feel is when you’re stretching your limits. Think of:

  • Learning a new skill that scares you (public speaking, surfing, salsa dancing).

  • Going on an adventure that demands something from you (hiking a mountain, doing an extreme race, traveling solo).

  • Pushing yourself in business (launching a new product, hiring your first employee, taking a risk that could change your life).


4. Optimize Your Environment for Peak Living

Your daily environment either fuels your best life or distracts you from it.

  • Declutter your space so your mind is clear.

  • Surround yourself with people who push you forward. If your friends aren’t talking about growth, new ideas, or new adventures, find new conversations.

  • Remove unnecessary distractions (news, negativity, scrolling) so you can focus on creating, building, and experiencing.


Are You Living a Designed Life—or a Default One?

Most people don’t live bad lives—they live default lives. They go with the flow, follow the script, and hope things work out.


But you don’t have to live like that.


At Freedomology, we believe in engineering a life of adventure, wealth, health, and deep relationships. That’s why we created the Nine Gauge Score—a powerful tool to measure where you’re thriving and where you need to level up.


If you want to see how your health, wealth, and relationships stack up—and where you can create more peak experiences—take the Nine Gauge Assessment now.
