The Enough Bucket: A field guide for Learning Designers suffering from Enough Bucket Dysmorphia (Paperback or Softback)

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, The Enough Bucket will make you feel seen, make you laugh, and probably make you delete a few slides.
