Three designs. One way out.

Meet the first drop

Bad Hamster, Zero Wheel Energy and Authorized by Me turn one idea into three graphic statements: choose direction over pointless motion.

Field note 01 / Know the wheel

The wheel is optional.

Bad Hamster isn’t against work. He’s against running in circles. The wheel is any routine, rule or system that keeps you moving without taking you anywhere.

“Motion is not progress.”

The Bad Hamster code

Refuse pointless motion.

  1. 01

    Notice the wheel.

  2. 02

    Choose progress over performance.

  3. 03

    Give yourself permission to leave the loop.

Bad Hamster language

Name the loop. Leave the loop.

01

Wheel detected

Call out the loops that waste your time.

02

Authorized by me

Stop waiting for permission to make harmless choices.

03

Refuse the wheel

Choose your own direction, then keep moving.
