The Enough Bucket: A Field Guide for Learning Designers with EBD (Enough Bucket Dysmorphia)
If you've ever added "just one more resource" at 2am... this book is for you.
The Enough Bucket
is a brutally honest (and weirdly therapeutic) read for learning designers who care too much, build too much, and still worry it's not enough.
It introduces
Enough Bucket Dysmorphia
-the invisible condition where well-meaning designers keep cramming content, interactions and edge cases into every module until it's bloated, boring and confusing... but still somehow doesn't feel "done."
Written by a fellow designer who's made all the same mistakes, this book gives you language for the chaos and characters you'll instantly recognise:
Gavin, the stakeholder super-spreader
Karen from Compliance
Justin Case
Last-Minute Larry
And the dreaded Kitchen Sink Syndrome
This isn't a book about tools or frameworks. It's about clarity, restraint, and what actually matters to your learner.
Inside, you'll get:
A hilarious and painful mirror to your design habits
Practical ways to simplify your work without losing impact
A reminder that
you
are the expert-and that's enough
Whether you're new to the field or deep in the trenches,
will make you feel seen, make you laugh, and probably make you delete a few slides.
Stop building courses no one asked for.
Start building what learners actually need.
