Simplified overview of the entire website and body of knowledge. It's a good place to start.
- You can improve any situation or thing dramatically, using simple levers hidden within it.
- There are 6 primary drim lever-types: Flow | Ingenuity | Change | Mastery | Synergy | Meaning.
- Combine and apply the most obvious drim lever-types to your situation or thing.
What is "Dramatic" Improvement?
Huge gains in speed, time, impact or value very fast with minimal effort or cost.

The Drim Manifesto
-
The FACT: Dramatic Improvement is EMINENTLY
FEASIBLE in EVERY single situation and thing. -
The KEY Is LEVERAGE: The more challenging the situation, the greater the leverage.
-
The PROBLEM: WE CAN’T SEE the leverage opportunities – it’s not that they aren’t there.
-
The SOLUTION: WE CAN’T SEE the leverage opportunities – it’s not that they aren’t there.

The Drim Levers
Flow: Get more through the bottleneck.
Ingenuity: Generate & integrate alternatives.
Change: Make the new way more attractive in the short-term.
Mastery: Practice early diagnosis & intervention.
Synergy: Satisfy respective needs & aspirations.
Meaning: Connect solution to meaning.
The more you use, the bigger the impact.
How to Use the Levers
Every single situation and thing can be improved dramatically. Here's how.
How to Use the Levers
Go through the steps, until you have a good enough solution - for now.
- Keep an eye out for triggers.
- Look for drim stories that might apply.
- Look for your favourite drim leverage patterns.
- Look for drim dimension leverage patterns.

Drim Stories
Our brains grasp, understand, retain and retrieve stories way better than information, facts and concepts.
This section will contain a set of drim stories - and how to code and create your own library of stories to make your drim practice easier, quicker and more effective.
Implications
The implications of the Drim Manifesto are huge and apply to abolutely every challenging situation or thing - including things that you have long resigned to be intractable.
Implications
Whatever challenging situation you are facing right now can be improved dramatically - no matter how intractable it may seem.
It's normal, if you've tried everything you could think of, to feel that the situation is intractable - no matter what one might try. The Manifesto explains why you haven't any traction so far - and how to change that.
If your current situation isn't challenging - merely boring - it can be improved dramatically as well: if that appeals to you.
